Chairman’s and Managing Director’s letter

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of Invion Limited ( Invion ), we are very pleased to invite you to participate in the recently announced 1 for 20 non-renounceable entitlement issue for new Invion ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of 7.5 cents per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ).

On 21 February 2014, Invion announced its successful raising of approximately $5 million through a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors ( Placement ) and its intention to proceed with the Entitlement Offer (together, the Equity Raising ).

Funds raised from the Equity Raising will be applied to the recently announced collaboration with 3M Drug Delivery Systems to develop Invion’s inhaled respiratory drugs franchise, and the continuing development of Invion’s three drug assets:

 INV102 (nadolol);  INV103 (ala-Cpn10); and  INV104 (zafirulkast).

More detailed information on the use of funds from the Equity Raising can be found in section 1.2 of this Information Booklet.

Your Company’s focus continues to be the development and commercialisation of new therapies for inflammatory diseases, and we are continuing to build on a strong body of evidence for our proprietary therapeutic candidates.

Our three phase II clinical programs – in chronic bronchitis, asthma and lupus – are all underway.

Your Company’s achievements in the last 12 months include:

  • Initiation and commencement of our phase II clinical trial of INV102 (nadolol) in asthma patients, a study that is funded by the US National Institutes of Health in excess of US$4 million;

  • The submission of an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for our INV103 (ala-Cpn10) program in lupus;

  • Attracting high calibre biotech CEO, Dr Greg Collier;

  • Initiation and commencement of our phase II clinical trial investigating INV103 (ala-Cpn10) in lupus patients;

  • Initiation and commencement of our phase II clinical trial investigating INV102 (nadolol) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are in registered quit smoking programs; and

  • The announcement of a global licensing deal to develop inhaled versions of Accolate, adding a new asset, INV104 (zafirlukast) to our pipeline, as the Company seeks to develop the first inhaled, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory treatment for asthma.

Further, we are very pleased to have commenced a collaboration to progress our inhaled respiratory drug franchise with 3M Drug Delivery Systems, a global leader in pressured metered dose inhaler (PMDI) technology.

This collaboration kick starts the next phase of Invion’s strategic development and growth, and was a catalyst for the Equity Raising.

Inhaled respiratory drugs may provide advantages over other delivery methods due to their targeted delivery, smaller doses and fewer side effects. If Invion’s inhaled treatments prove safe and effective in patients, your Company will have the opportunity to target the multi billion dollar respiratory market with three potential drug candidates – oral INV102, inhaled INV102 and inhaled INV104.

3

We continue to believe that if INV102 (nadolol) shows a positive effect and reduces or reverses mucus metaplasia in the airway, we have an asset with significant potential that could have a positive impact on patients worldwide.

We have continued to progress our programs cost-effectively, and have aimed to secure further sources of non-dilutive funding for future development programs. We also continue to build relationships with strategic partners, and similar to the Company’s agreements with Numoda Corporation and 3M, continue to identify opportunities for collaboration with leading global companies.

The Company’s plans and target clinical milestones for the coming 12-18 months include completion of three phase II clinical trials currently underway in asthma, ‘smoking cessation’ and lupus. We will also be progressing the inhaled respiratory franchise through feasibility and early manufacture towards early clinical, pre-IND and IND status. The Company’s forthcoming clinical milestones are described in more detail in the Invion investor presentation lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on 26 February 2014 (and set out in section 2 of this Information Booklet).

Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the price of 7.5 cents, which is the same price as the institutional investors who participated in the Placement. The number of New Shares you are entitled to subscribe for under the Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement ) is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is enclosed in this Information Booklet.

The issue price of 7.5 cents per New Share represents a 20% discount to the weighted average closing price for the five trading days to 18 February 2014 (being the last trading day before the Placement was announced by the Company). If you take up your Entitlement, you can also apply for additional shares under a ‘top-up’ facility (refer to section 3 of this Information Booklet for more information).

Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement. Any New Shares not taken up by the Closing Date may be made available to those Eligible Shareholders who took up their full Entitlement and applied for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility detailed in section 3 . There is no guarantee that such Shareholders will receive the number of New Shares applied for under the Top Up Facility, or any.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore your Entitlements will not be tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferable. We encourage you to consider this offer carefully.

Invion Directors will take up all or part of their entitlement.

Your Board recommends this offer of New Shares for your consideration.

Placement

Investors who receive Shares under the Placement will have those Shares registered by the Record Date and will be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer as Eligible Shareholders.

Risks

The Directors believe the primary risks associated with an investment in Invion are:

  • Clinical trial risk - Invion’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for its products and profitably commercialise its products is dependent upon its ability to conduct successful clinical trials which are inherently risky, depend upon the availability of patients and regulatory approvals, and have no guarantee of returning efficacious results or proving practical or cost effective.

  • Regulatory and reimbursement approval risk – Invion’s ability to research, develop, manufacture and sell its products is dependent upon regulatory approvals in target markets, for which there is no guarantee of securing such approvals in a timely and cost effective manner. While submissions may be made for reimbursement in certain jurisdictions, there is no guarantee that Invion will be reimbursed for any costs associated with developing its products, which may adversely impact its financial position.

  • Toxicology – In parallel with clinical trials, Invion will continue to test its product candidates in animal species under controlled conditions governed by Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and its equivalent regulations under the International Committee on Harmonisation (ICH). These studies could generate results that identify previously unknown safety concerns, limit the use of product candidates to certain patient populations, or limit the doses that may be used below the doses needed to achieve efficacy.

6

Delay risk – the potential for delay of any of the key milestones, presents a number of risks, including the ability to secure a commercial partner, receive regulatory classification and achieve revenues within estimated timeframes.

Manufacturing and distribution capability risk – Invion’s ultimate success is dependent upon its ability, or that of its commercial partners, to scale up and maintain production within the estimated time frame, and in accordance with regulatory standards.

Competition – Invion is aware that there are a number of products in development or recently approved for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including lupus, as well as airway diseases including asthma and chronic bronchitis. One or more of these competitor products or product candidates may be sufficiently safe and effective so as to minimize the real or perceived value of Invion product candidates, thereby negatively affecting the value placed upon our products for licensing or partnering.

Funding risk – The development of the respiratory franchise which includes progress to phase III clinical trials for oral INV102(nadolol) in smoking cessation; plus the development of two inhaled drugs (INV102 & INV104) are the primary drivers of cash requirements in the coming 2/3 years. It is estimated $10-20M will be required to complete phase III oral INV102, and reach phase II in the inhaled INV102 and inhaled INV104 programs. To the extent the Company does not find an appropriate partner for its programs, it may need to raise further funds, which may not be available when required or only available on unfavourable terms.

These are a summary of some of the potential risks associated with an investment in Invion. Before making a decision to invest, you should read section 4 which further details key risks.

1 Description and effect of the Offer

1.1 Overview

The Entitlement Offer is a non-renounceable offer of approximately 26.5 million New Shares at 7.5 cents per New Share to raise approximately $2 million (before Offer Costs).

The proceeds of the Equity Raising will allow Invion to proceed with:

  • 1 Project initiation and commencement of works with 3M Drug Delivery Systems to assess the feasibility of INV102 (nadolol) as an inhaled treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis.

  • 2 Project initiation and commencement of works with 3M Drug Delivery Systems to assess the feasibility of INV104 (zafirlukast) as an inhaled treatment for asthma.

  • 3 Ongoing phase II trials in COPD, asthma and systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) including data analysis.

  • 4 Ongoing working capital, including clinical research team, administration, compliance, and intellectual property prosecution.

Eligible Shareholders are entitled to acquire 1 New Share for every 20 Shares held on the Record Date ( Entitlement ). The issue price of 7.5 cents per New Share represents a discount of 20% to the weighted average closing price for the five trading days to 18 February 2014 (being the last trading day before the Placement was announced by the Company).

Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements do not trade on the ASX, nor can they be transferred or otherwise disposed of.

An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out your Entitlement accompanies this Information Booklet.

Shareholders will have their interest in Invion diluted because of the issue of Shares under the Placement. In addition, Eligible Shareholders who do not take up all of their Entitlements will have their percentage shareholding in Invion further diluted.

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in Invion involves risks and should be considered speculative. The key risks identified by Invion are identified in section 4 of the Information Booklet.

Top Up Facility

Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement.

Any New Shares not taken up by the Closing Date may be made available to those Eligible Shareholders who took up their full Entitlement and applied for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility detailed in section 3.

There is no guarantee that such Shareholders will receive the number of New Shares applied for under the Top Up Facility, or any.

There is no cap on the number of additional New Shares that Eligible Shareholders may apply for under the Top Up Facility, although the number of New Shares available under the Top Up Facility will not exceed the shortfall from the Entitlement Offer. The Directors reserve the right to allot and issue New Shares under the Top Up Facility at their discretion.

Eligible Shareholders are Shareholders on the Record Date who:

  • (a) have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand or are a Shareholder that Invion has otherwise determined is eligible to participate; and

  • (b) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus to be lodged or registered.

The Entitlement Offer is not being extended to the Ineligible Shareholders because of the small number of such Shareholders, the number and value of the Shares they hold and the cost of complying with applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand.

1.5

Ranking of New Shares

The New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with Existing Shares.

1.6

Allotment

Invion will make an application within seven days from the date of this Offer for quotation of the New Shares on ASX. Trading of New Shares will, subject to ASX approval, occur shortly after allotment. It is expected that allotment of the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer will take place no more than 6 Business Days after the close of the Entitlement Offer.

Application Monies will be held by Invion on trust for Applicants until the New Shares are allotted. No interest will be paid on Application Monies.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the number of New Shares allotted and issued to them prior to trading in the New Shares. The sale by an Applicant of New Shares prior to receiving their holding statement is at the Applicant’s own risk.

1.7

3 How to Apply

3.1 Shareholder’s choices

The number of New Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled (their Entitlement ) is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Eligible Shareholders may:

  • (a) take up their Entitlement in full and, if they do so, they may apply for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility (refer to section 3.2);

  • (b) take up part of the Entitlement, in which case the balance of the Entitlement would lapse (refer to section 3.3);

  • (c) allow their Entitlement to lapse (refer to section 3.4).

Ineligible Shareholders may not participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Invion reserves the right to reject any Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is not correctly completed or that is received after the Closing Date.

The Closing Date for acceptance of the Entitlement Offer is 5.00pm (AEDT) on 25 March 2014 (however, that date may be varied by Invion, in accordance with the Listing Rules).

Please return your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with your Application Monies in accordance with section 3.6 for the amount shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to the Share Registry so that it is received no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on 25 March 2014 at the address set out below:

By hand delivery (not to be used if mailing)

Invion Limited C/- Link Market Services Limited 1A Homebush Bay Drive Rhodes NSW 2138

By post

Invion Limited C/- Link Market Services Limited Locked Bag 3415 Brisbane QLD 4001

3.2 Taking up all of your Entitlement and participating in the Top Up Facility

If you wish to take up your Entitlement in full, follow the instructions set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

You may also take up all of your Entitlement by payment of the Application Monies through BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If payment is being made through BPAY, you do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Your payment must be received by no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on 25 March 2014.

If you have applied to take up all of your Entitlement, you may also apply for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility.

If you do not return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, amounts received by Invion in excess of the Issue Price multiplied by your Entitlement ( Excess Amount ) may be treated as an application to apply for as many additional New Shares as your Excess Amount will pay for in full.

If you apply for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility and your application is successful (in whole or in part) your New Shares will be issued at the same time that other New Shares are issued under the Entitlement Offer. There is no guarantee you will receive any New

30

Shares under the Top Up Facility. The Directors reserve their right to allot and issue New Shares under the Top Up Facility at their discretion.

3.3 Taking up part of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse

If you wish to take up part of your Entitlement, complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of New Shares you wish to take up. You do not need to take any other action as the portion of your Entitlement that you do not take up will lapse.

You may arrange for payment through BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If payment is made through BPAY and Invion receives an amount that is less than the Issue Price multiplied by your Entitlement ( Reduced Amount ), your payment may be treated as an application for as many New Shares as your Reduced Amount will pay for in full.

3.4 Allow your Entitlement to lapse

If you do not wish to accept all or any part of your Entitlement, do not take any further action and that part of your Entitlement will lapse.

3.5 Consequences of not accepting your Entitlement

If you do not accept all of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, any New Shares that you would have otherwise have been entitled to under the Entitlement Offer (or New Shares that relate to the portion of your Entitlement that has not been accepted) may be acquired by other Shareholders under the Top Up Facility.

In addition, the Directors reserve the right, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, to place any shortfall shares remaining after the close of the Entitlement Offer (and completion of the Top Up Facility), including those Entitlements of ineligible shareholders which were unable to be taken up under the Entitlement Offer, within 3 months after the Closing Date to either existing or new Shareholders at their discretion at a price not less than the Issue Price under the Entitlements Offer.

No party will acquire a relevant interest in voting Shares exceeding 20% as result of the Entitlement Offer, the placement of any Entitlement Offer shortfall, or completion of the second tranche placement.

3.6 Payment and refunds

The consideration for the New Shares (including under the Top Up Facility) is payable in full on application by a payment of 7.5 cents per New Share. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be accompanied by a cheque for the Application Monies. Cheques must be drawn in Australian currency on an Australian bank and made payable to ‘ Invion Limited ’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’.

Alternatively, you may arrange for payment of the Application Monies through BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Eligible Shareholders must not forward cash by mail. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid either by cheque sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on the share register (the registered address of the first-named in the case of joint holders), or by direct credit to the nominated bank account as noted on the share register as at the Closing Date. If you wish to advise or change your banking instructions with the Share Registry you may do so by going to https://investorcentre.linkmarketservices.com.au/Login.aspx/Login and following the instructions.

3.7 Entitlement and Acceptance Form is binding

A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or a payment made through BPAY, constitutes a binding offer to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Information Booklet and, once lodged or paid, cannot be withdrawn. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Board (or their delegates) decision whether to treat an acceptance as

31

valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final.

The Company reserves the right to refuse any Application, for example, if a cheque is returned unpaid or if the Entitlement and Acceptance Form has not been properly completed, or where there are grounds for believing that the Applicant is not acting in good faith or has sought to split holdings into smaller parcels for the purpose of making multiple applications.

By completing and returning your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies or making a payment by BPAY, you will also be deemed to have acknowledged, represented and warranted on behalf of each person on whose account you are acting that:

  • (a) you are an Eligible Shareholder and are not otherwise a person to whom it would be illegal to make an offer or issue New Shares under the Entitlement Offer; and

  • (b) you acknowledge that the New Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or under the laws of any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand.

3.8 Notice to nominees and custodians

Nominees and custodians may not distribute any part of this Information Booklet or any Entitlement and Acceptance Form in any country outside Australia, except to beneficial holders of Shares in New Zealand, and beneficial holders of Shares who are institutional or professional investors in other countries that Invion has approved as being a country in which investors are eligible to participate, as well as any other country to the extent Invion may determine it is lawful and practical to make the Entitlement Offer.

4 Risk factors

4.1 Introduction

An investment in Invion should be considered speculative. This section identifies the major risks associated with an investment in Invion.

4.2 Specific risks

Clinical Trial Risk

Invion’s ability to achieve profitability is dependent on a number of factors, including its ability to complete successful clinical trials, obtain regulatory approval for its product candidates, and successfully commercialise those product candidates or technologies. The Company is also dependent on commercially attractive markets remaining available to it.

The development of biomedical therapies is inherently risky and subject to factors beyond the Company’s control. The industry is highly regulated, subject to intense competition and reliant on the timely availability of clinical trial patients. Invion may be unable to secure necessary approvals from regulatory agencies and institutional bodies (clinics and hospitals) to conduct clinical trials. There is also no assurance that products developed using Invion’s technology will prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials, or that the regulatory approval to manufacture and market its products will be received. Clinical trials might also potentially expose Invion to product liability claims in the event its products in development have unexpected effects on clinical subjects.

To the extent it is available on reasonable terms, Invion intends to maintain clinical trial insurance, however there is no guarantee such insurance will be held valid or be sufficient to cover any liability which may arise.

Invion has commenced clinical trials as described in the Investor Presentation. These trials have many associated risks which may impact the Company’s profitability and future productions and commercial potential. They may prove unsuccessful or non efficacious, impracticable or costly. The clinical trials could be terminated which will likely have a significant adverse affect on the Company, the value of its securities and the future commercial development of INV102, INV103 and INV104.

Formulations of INV102, INV103 and INV104 are currently being tested for stability in parallel with the clinical trials. If product stability is not maintained, the product may be required to be reformulated, leading to associated costs and delays. The clinical trials could also be delayed or aborted as a result of this occurring.

Regulatory and reimbursement approvals

The research, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of products using Invion’s technology are subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in Australia and overseas including but not limited to the FDA.

Therapeutic products developed using Invion’s technology must undergo a comprehensive and highly regulated development and review process before receiving approval for marketing. The process includes the provision of clinical data relating to the quality, safety and efficacy of the products for their proposed use.

Products may also be submitted for reimbursement approval for research and development costs, for example. The availability and timing of that reimbursement approval may have an impact upon the uptake and profitability of products in some jurisdictions.

Furthermore, any of the products utilising Invion’s technology may be shown to be unsafe, non-efficacious, difficult or impossible to manufacture on a large scale, uneconomical to market, compete with superior products marketed by third parties or not be as attractive as alternative treatments.

33

Risk of delay

The Company may experience delay in achieving a number of critical milestones, including securing a commercial partner, completion of clinical trials, obtaining regulatory or reimbursement approvals, manufacturing, product launch and sales. Any material delays may impact adversely upon the Company, including the timing of any revenues under milestone or sales payments.

Commercialisation of products

Invion has not yet commercialised its technology and as yet has no material revenues. There is no assurance that Invion will generate significant revenues or that Invion will ever achieve profitability.

There is no assurance that Invion will attract and retain appropriate strategic partners or that any such partners will perform and meet commercialisation goals or make licensing payments.

Invion may need to raise additional funds

The Company may be required to raise additional equity or debt capital in the future. There is no assurance that it will be able to raise that capital when it is required or that the terms associated with raising that capital will be satisfactory to the Company. If Invion is unsuccessful in obtaining funds when they are required, Invion may need to delay or eliminate its research and development, commercialisation or manufacturing activities, or other aspects of its business; have to license or sell its technologies on unfavourable terms; or scale down or cease operations. If Invion raises funds by issuing Shares or borrowing, the terms may not be favourable and may dilute the ownership of its Shareholders.

Commercial, manufacturing and distribution capability

Invion’s ultimate success is dependent upon its ability, and or that of its commercial partners, to manufacture its products on a commercial scale, with continuity of supply and in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, prescribed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory authorities. In the event that the Company or any one or more of Invion’s commercial partners discontinue operations for any reason, this may result in substantial cost and delay.

Delays and difficulties in the manufacture of products for trials or commercial purposes or with packagers or distributors could delay market introduction and subsequent sales of Invion’s products. More particularly, any contamination or other failure in the manufacture of the compounds that are supplied or subsequently manufactured could result in delay, increased costs, exposure to liability for breach of obligations as well as regulatory and statutory standards, loss of funding and / or regulatory approval.

The inability of Invion to scale up and maintain production within the estimated timeframe may potentially result in an adverse financial impact for the Company both in the short and medium term.

Dependence on commercial partnering

Invion will need to enter into one or more commercial partnering agreements to launch the marketing and sales of its lead products as described in this Information Booklet. These agreements may require Invion or its partners to undertake or fund certain R&D activities, make payments on achievement of certain milestones and pay royalties or make profitsharing payments when and if a product is sold. As such, these agreements will be critical to Invion’s ability to derive revenue and the timing of those revenues.

The success of Invion’s partnering arrangements may depend on the resources devoted to them by itself or its industry partners. Collaborative agreements may be terminable by Invion’s partners. Non-performance, suspension or termination of agreements is likely to have a material and adverse impact on Invion’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

34

Retention of key personnel and contract researchers

Because of the specialised nature of Invion’s business, Invion is highly dependent upon qualified, scientific, technical and managerial personnel. There is significant competition for qualified personnel in Invion’s business.

Invion and its collaborators may not be able to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the development of its business. The loss of the services of existing personnel, as well as the failure to recruit additional key scientific, technical, managerial and other personnel in a timely manner could harm Invion’s R&D programs and its business.

Intellectual property

Invion’s success will depend in part on its ability to obtain commercially valuable patent claims and to protect its intellectual property. Accordingly, Invion and its research partners face the following risks and uncertainties with respect to the licensed patents and any other patents subsequently licensed or issued to Invion:

  • lodged patent applications may not result in issued patents or may take longer than expected for patents to issue,

  • the claims of any patents that are issued may not provide meaningful protection,

  • Invion and its research partners may not be able to develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable,

  • patents issued to Invion or its industry partners may not provide a competitive advantage,

  • other companies may challenge issued patents,

  • other companies may independently develop similar or alternative technologies, to those of Invion or duplicate Invion’s technology,

  • other companies may design around Invion’s technologies, and

  • if letters patent do not issue, then the value of Invion’s intellectual property rights may be significantly diminished. Further, any information contained in patent applications will become part of the public domain, so that it will not be protected as confidential information.

As legal regulations and standards relating to the validity and scope of patents continue to evolve, the degree of future protection for Invion’s proprietary rights is uncertain.

Invion may incur substantial costs in asserting any patent or intellectual property rights and in defending legal action against it relating to intellectual property rights. Such disputes could substantially delay Invion’s product development or commercialisation activities.

Invion may from time to time need to acquire or licence intellectual property from third parties to develop and commercialise its own suite of intellectual property and products. There is no guarantee such acquisition or licence can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable commercial terms.

Grant funding

Invion and its partners may from time to time receive government grants. These grant monies are typically payable on achievement of certain scientific and commercial milestones. If those milestones are not achieved, grant monies may be suspended. Invion may also be required to repay some or all of the grant monies if it breaches the terms of the grant, or if it obtains additional funding for the relevant activities from other sources, and in other circumstances. The laws and policies that apply to grant funding are constantly under review. If these laws and policies change, Invion’s access to grant funding may be reduced or cease.

Competition

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Invion’s products may compete with existing alternative treatments that are already available to customers. In addition, a number of companies, both in Australia and abroad, may be pursuing the development of products that

35

target the same conditions that Invion is targeting. Some of these companies may have, or develop, technologies superior to Invion’s own technology.

Some competitors of Invion may have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than Invion. In addition, academic institutions, government agencies, and other public and private organisations conducting research may seek intellectual property protection with respect to potentially competitive products or technologies. These organisations may also establish exclusive collaborative or licensing relationships with Invion’s competitors. Invion is also dependent upon its ability and the ability of third party collaborators or licensees, to sell and market its products and to develop and commercialise products based on Invion’s technology.

Legislation, regulation and tenure

The Company's activities in the biomedical industry are subject to legislation, regulations and approvals. The impact of existing or new laws, or their interpretation in the Courts, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Further, the Company will, from time to time, require various government regulatory approvals for its operations and must comply with those laws. There is a risk of delay, increased cost or failure to get those approvals.

Litigation

In February 2012 legal proceedings were commenced against four former officers of the Company. The proceedings relate to the resignations on or about 12 October 2011 of the Company’s then executive chairman, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and company secretary; and gross payments made to these officers.

The Company has claimed a total of approximately $1,200,000 from the former executives. On 25 October 2012 the Company announced that the former executives had filed and served defences and a counterclaim against the Company in the amount of $1,246,667. There have been a number of interlocutory hearings, which have caused delays to the process outside the Company’s control, but a trial date is now set down for May 2014.

There is a risk that the Company may in future be the subject of or required to commence litigation in addition to that noted above. There is, however, no other litigation currently underway or threatened.

4.3 General market risks

Share market investments

Like the shares of all ASX listed companies, Invion’s share price might rise or fall and they may trade at prices below or above the Issue Price. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will always exist for the Shares.

Factors affecting the price at which the Shares are traded on ASX could include domestic and international economic conditions. In addition, the prices of many listed entities’ securities are affected by factors that might be unrelated to the operating performance of the relevant company, including for example exchange rates and investor sentiment. These fluctuations and factors might adversely affect the price of the Shares. These risks apply generally to any investment in the stock market.

General economic conditions

Invion’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, both domestic and global, including the level of inflation, commodity prices, interest rates and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions, including an increase in interest rates or a sudden unexpected change (or ‘shock’) in economic conditions, could be expected to have a corresponding adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance.

36

Accounting Standards

Australian accounting standards are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) and are outside the Directors’ and Invion’s control. Changes to accounting standards issued by AASB could materially adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in Invion’ financial statements.

Taxation risks

A change to the current taxation regime in Australia or overseas may affect Invion and its Shareholders. Personal tax liabilities are the responsibility of each individual investor. Invion is not responsible for either taxation or penalties incurred by investors.
