ASX ANNOUNCEMENT: APPENDIX 4C

Dear Sir
APPENDIX 4C
Invion Limited (ASX:IVX) is pleased to lodge its Appendix 4C for the quarter ending 31 December 2015.
The Company held cash reserves of $2.107 million at the end of December, consistent with forecasts.
In the December quarter, cash outflows relating to operating expenses were $2 million, with R&D expenditure comprising $1.2 million of this amount. Operating and R&D cash outlfows continue to be significantly reduced from earlier quarters following the completion of major R&D programs across all three drug assets.
In December, the company announced the completion of a share purchase plan to eligible shareholders and a placement to existing professional investors, raising approximately $2.1 million.
During the quarter, the Company announced data from its phase 2 clinical trial of INV102 (nadolol) in patients with chronic bronchitis or COPD who were trying to quit smoking. The data from the 155 patient study demonstrated that INV102 treated smokers were more likely to stop smoking completely or dramatically reduce the number of cigarettes smoked, and that INV102 is a safe and effective treatment for patients with chronic bronchitis who are enrolled in smoking cessation programs. Data also demonstrated that treatment with INV102 (nadolol) showed a statistically significant effect on biomarker MUC5AC independent of an effect on markers of inflammation.
The Company has since submitted an abstract to the 2016 American Thoracic Society (ATS) annual meeting, and a request to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an End of Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting, to facilitate the commencement of the phase 3 program for oral INV102. The EOP2 meeting is scheduled to be held by the end of the current quarter (March 2016).
Following the successful completion of major milestones across its four drug development programs during 2015, during the quarter the Board appointed Ferghana Partners Group (New York, London, Boston) to progress various potential opportunities under review. Ferghana’s expertise is in acquisitions, divestitures, corporate partnering and financial transactions in the global healthcare sector.
An Appendix 4C accompanies this announcement.
For and on behalf of the Board of Invion Limited
