INVION ANNOUNCES RIGHTS ISSUE TO RAISE $2M

SUBSEQUENT TO COMPLETION OF $5M PLACEMENT TO INSTITUTIONAL AND SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS

On 21 February, Invion Limited ( Invion ) announced a placement to institutional and professional investors to raise approximately AU$5 million ( Institutional Placement ).

As foreshadowed in that announcement, Invion is now proceeding with a 1 for 20 nonrenounceable entitlement offer of fully paid ordinary shares in Invion ( New Shares ) to raise approximately AU$2 million ( Entitlement Offer ).

Invion is seeking to raise total funds of approximately AU$7 million under both the Institutional Placement and the Entitlement Offer ( Equity Raising ).

The offer price for the Entitlement Offer will be $0.075 per share ( Offer Price ), the same offer price as shares issued under the Institutional Placement.

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders will be able to subscribe for 1 new ordinary share in Invion for every 20 existing shares held at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 6 March, 2014 ( Record Date ) at the Offer Price ( Entitlements ).

Patersons Securities Limited ACN 008 896 311 and Morgans Corporate Limited ABN 32 010 539 607 have been appointed as joint lead managers for the Equity Raising ( JLMs ).

Funds raised from the placement and rights issue will be applied to the collaboration with 3M Drug Delivery Systems to develop Invion’s inhaled respiratory drugs franchise, and continuing development of Invion’s three drug assets - INV102 (nadolol), INV103 (ala-Cpn10) and INV104 (zafirulkast), as well as for general working capital.

The Entitlements are non-renounceable and will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable. Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements will not receive any value in respect of those Entitlements that they do not take up. Shareholders who are not eligible to receive Entitlements will not receive any value in respect of the Entitlements they would have received had they been eligible.

Up to 26,468,823 new ordinary shares in Invion will be issued as part of the Entitlement Offer.

All Shares issued under the Equity Raising will rank equally with existing shares.

The Entitlement Offer will include a top up facility under which eligible shareholders who take up their full Entitlement will be invited to apply for additional shares in the Entitlement Offer from a pool of those not taken up by other eligible shareholders, subject to any scale-back that the directors may determine to implement in their absolute discretion. There is no guarantee that applicants under this top up facility will receive all or any of the shares they apply for under the facility.

The Directors also reserve the right, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), to place any shortfall shares remaining after the close of the Entitlement Offer (and completion of the top up facility, if any), including those Entitlements of ineligible shareholders which were unable to be taken up under the Entitlement Offer, within 3 months after the closing date of the Entitlement Offer to either existing or new Shareholders at their discretion at a price not less than the Offer Price of New Shares under the Entitlements Offer.

Eligible shareholders will receive a retail information booklet including a personalised entitlement and acceptance form which will provide further details of how to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
