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

The SPP aims to raise approximately $3 million (before 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 ).

-
subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1:
-
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

4.8 Participation by single holders
If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you have received more than one Offer under the SPP (for example, because you hold more than one shareholding under separate share accounts), you may not apply for Shares with an Application value exceeding $30,000 under the SPP. This is because the maximum amount that may be raised by law under a share purchase plan from each eligible holder in any 12-month period is $30,000. By applying for Shares under the SPP, you certify that you have not exceeded this limit. The Company reserves the right to reject any Application for Shares where it believes there has not been compliance with this requirement.
