- Resolutions 1 and 2: Proposed Transaction
1.1 Overview
As announced to the ASX on 3 December 2025, the Company has secured an expanded portfolio of perpetual exclusive global rights to the Photosoft™ technology, covering human and animal diseases including cancers and infectious diseases, paving the way for Invion to build significant Shareholder value from its pipeline of clinical programs (the Proposed Transaction).
The transaction documents include a Licence Agreement with NGPDT IP Holdings Pty Ltd ACN 693 147 116 (NGPDT IP HoldCo) and a Licence Security Agreement with RMW Cho Group Limited (RMWCG), the current licensor of the Photosoft™ technology (together, the Transaction Documents).
NGPDT IP HoldCo is a newly formed Australian company and is an affiliate of RMWCG under common control. RMWCG will transfer ownership of all intellectual property rights in the Photosoft™ technology to NGPDT IP HoldCo within 12 months. Accordingly, the Licence Security Agreement grants a licence from RMWCG to Invion pending the completion of the IP transfer, after which NGPDT IP HoldCo will become the licensor. To protect Invion's rights, Invion has obtained a personal guarantee from Mr Michael Honsue Cho, the founder and inventor of Photosoft and the controller of NGPDT IP HoldCo and RMWCG.
Subject to the conditions precedent being satisfied, Invion will issue up to 36,705,966 ordinary shares to RMWCG, upon satisfaction of three milestones, being:
a. one-third upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent;
b. one-third on commencement by Invion (or its sub-licensee) of an IND enabled Phase II clinical trial (dosing first patient) in any licensed cancer indication; and
c. one-third on commencement of a Phase II IND-enabled clinical trial (dosing first patient) in another licensed cancer indication, or a Phase III/pivotal IND enabled clinical trial in any licensed cancer indication.
All consideration shares will be subject to 12-month escrow commencing from the issue date.
Additionally, Invion will pay NGPDT IP HoldCo a royalty of 10% of future net sales it receives from third parties for the sale of Photosoft™ drug products.
NGPDT IP HoldCo will also be entitled to 20% of any amounts received by Invion for any acquisition (by way of assignment or sub-licence) of Invion's rights to the Agreed Indications, or any analogous transactions (excluding capital raisings and acquisitions of Invion's shares).
Invion will pay for development research in the Agreed Indications (and may claim the associated R&D tax credit subject to meeting applicable requirements), and NGPDT IP HoldCo will be responsible for protecting and maintaining the Photosoft intellectual property (including any improvements thereof) in agreed countries, provided however that if NGPDT IP HoldCo fails to do so then Invion has the option to do so in NGPDT IP HoldCo's stead and obtain a reduction in net sales royalties from 10% to 5%.
As part of the transaction, Invion and RMWCG have also agreed to terminate all existing agreements currently in place between them and to release all claims arising out of or in connection with those agreements, which includes amounts owing by RMWCG to Invion for reimbursement of R&D expenses under the existing R&D services agreement.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek approval for matters relating to the Proposed Transaction. If Resolutions 1 or 2 are not passed, the Proposed Transaction will not be able to proceed.
1.2 Status of conditions
All conditions precedent in the Transaction Documents have been satisfied, other than the obtaining of Shareholder approvals the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2. Accordingly, the Transaction Documents will become effective upon Resolutions 1 and 2 being passed.
1.3 Background to the Company
Invion is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares have been publicly traded on the ASX since its listing on 15 February 2011. Invion is a clinical-stage life sciences (drug development) company that is leading the global research and development of the Photosoft technology for the treatment of a range of cancers, atherosclerosis and infectious diseases. The Company's main focus during the previous financial year was progressing its clinical cancer programs.
Invion has the following 100% wholly-owned subsidiaries:
- Epitech Dermal Science Pty Ltd
- Photo Geni Pty Ltd
- Photo Derm Pty Ltd
- Photo Lung Pty Ltd
- Pharmbridge Pty Ltd
1.4 Background on key parties
This information has been provided to Invion by NGPDT IP HoldCo and RMWCG or their associates, as applicable.
RMWCG is the current licensor of the Photosoft™ technology and will grant an initial licence to Invion under the Licence Security Agreement pending the transfer of IP ownership to NGPDT IP Holdco. RMWCG is focused on acquiring, holding and implementing proprietary technologies and exclusive licenses for groundbreaking developments in the areas of medicine and other patented and uniquely profitable technologies. RMWCG is incorporated in Hong Kong and controlled by Mr Michael Honsue Cho.
As part of the Proposed Transaction, RMWCG and Invion will terminate all prior agreements and release all claims, including previous R&D reimbursement arrangements.
NGPDT IP HoldCo is a newly established Australian entity and is an affiliate of RMWCG under common control of Mr Michael Honsue Cho, the founder and inventor of Photosoft™. RMWCG will transfer ownership of all intellectual property rights in the Photosoft™ technology to NGPDT IP within 12 months of completion of the Proposed Transaction, at which point NGPDT IP will become the exclusive licensor to Invion under the Proposed Transaction.
RMWC Pty Ltd is an Australian private company that acts as trustee of the RMWC Family Trust. Mr Cho is the sole director, company secretary and shareholder of RMWC Pty Ltd. RMWC Pty Ltd is an existing Invion shareholder.
14
Mr Michael Honsue Cho, the founder of the Photosoft™ technology and a director of RMWCG, has provided a personal guarantee securing NGPDT IP Holdco's and RMWCG's obligations under the Licence Security Agreement. This guarantee applies during the interim period prior to the completion of the transfer of legal ownership of the Photosoft™ IP to NGPDT IP Holdco and in connection with any assignment of the licensed rights under that agreement.
Mr Thian Chew, the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chair of Invion, is not a party to the Transaction Documents but is an associate of NGPDT IP Holdco and RMWCG, arising from his role as Managing Partner of Polar Ventures Limited.
Polar Ventures Limited is an associate of RMWCG under section 12(2) of the Corporations Act, pursuant to an informal and undocumented consultancy arrangement under which Polar Ventures Limited provides ad hoc support for RMWCG's interests in its investment in Invion. Polar Ventures Limited and Mr Chew do not receive any fees or other benefit from RMWCG under this arrangement.
1.5 Associates
The Company understands that the associates of NGPDT IP HoldCo include RMWCG, RMWC Pty Ltd, Mr Michael Honsue Cho, Mr Thian Chew and Polar Ventures Limited.
RMWCG, NGPDT IP Holdco and RMWC Pty Ltd are under the common control of Mr Michael Cho and accordingly are associates of Mr Cho and of each other entity. While not all of these entities are counterparties to the Transaction Documents, their association is relevant for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules, the aggregation of voting power and the application of voting exclusions under this Notice of Meeting.
Mr Chew's associate relationship arises primarily from historical involvement with Mr Michael Cho and prior disclosure considerations, and does not reflect any current equity ownership, funding support or ongoing economic dependence with Mr Michael Cho or RMWCG. As noted above, Mr Chew is also the Managing Partner of Polar Ventures Limited, which provides ad hoc consulting support to RMWCG without remuneration. For these reasons, Mr Chew and Polar Ventures Limited are also taken to be associates of Mr Michael Cho, RMWCG, NGPDT IP Holdco and RMWC Pty Ltd. As at the date of this Notice, based on information available to the Company they collectively hold a Relevant Interest in Shares of approximately 11.55%, as follows:
- Mr Thian Chew, 246,706 Shares, representing approximately 0.25%;
- Polar Ventures Limited, 5,468,578 Shares, representing approximately 5.64%;
- RMWC Pty Ltd, 3,142,372, representing approximately 3.24%; and
- Michael Cho, 2,346,265, representing approximately 2.42%.
The maximum voting power that NGPDT IP HoldCo, RMWCG, RMWC Pty Ltd, Mr Michael Honsue Cho, Mr Thian Chew and Polar Ventures Limited will collectively hold is 38.15% if Resolutions 1 and 2 are approved (and Resolution 8 is also approved).
1.6 Background on NGPDT Technology
NGPDT is built on medical research on Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) that is targeted to treat a wide variety of cancers non-invasively. Also called PhotoSoft E4, NGPDT is a chlorophyll-based PDT photosensitiser. Specifically, it is a complex of chlorin, chlorophyllin and zinc which activates at three light wave sensitivity ranges - 430 nm, 630-650 nm and the near-infrared wavelength range of 750-850 nm.
15
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a treatment application that involves three key components: a drug, called photosensitiser or photosensitizing (PDT) agent, a light source with a particular type of light and tissue oxygen. The combination of these three components is thought to lead to the chemical destruction of tissues which have either selectively taken up the PDT agent or have been locally exposed to light.
In addition to targeting cancer cells, PDT is hypothesised to affect tumours in other ways, including potentially damaging blood vessels in the tumour thereby preventing the cancer from receiving necessary nutrients and/ or activating an immune response that attacks tumour cells.
The Company believes there are number of theoretical advantages to treating cancer with PDT:
- PDT can be targeted very precisely, thereby avoiding the usual side effects of systemic treatment;
- PDT can be used to de-bulk difficult-to-reach tumours prior to surgery;
- PDT is minimally invasive, in that the light source used can often be applied externally;
- PDT is repeatable, unlike many radiation therapies;
- PDT is low cost; and
- PDT can be performed quickly on an outpatient basis.
An initial Australian Phase 1 study in prostate cancer was conducted 2013, in which NGPDT was administered to 68 prostate cancer patients. Results for 26 patients that had been treated for >6 months were reported at the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand meeting in Melbourne in April 2013. It was found that half of the reporting patients had stable to decreasing PSA and half increasing PSA, while prostate size was generally falling on assessment using diagnostic imaging. A second Phase 1 study in prostate cancer was conducted in 2017 in collaboration with Monash University. This study evaluated 36 patients, 23 with localised treatment-naïve prostate cancer and 13 with local relapse, and a paper has been prepared for publication.
1.7 Summary of the Proposed Transaction
The material terms of the Transaction Documents are summarised in Annexure B.
Shareholders should be aware that the Proposed Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent set out in the License Agreement, including but not limited to the Company obtaining approval from its Shareholders as to the matters being sought in Resolutions 1 and 2. Shareholders should refer to section 3 of Annexure B for a summary of the conditions precedent under the Transaction Documents.
1.8 Key advantages of the Proposed Transaction
The Directors (with Mr Thian Chew abstaining) consider that the key advantages to the Company and non-associated Shareholders of completing the Proposed Transaction are as follows:
- the Company will secure an expanded portfolio of perpetual exclusive global rights to the Photosoft™ technology, covering human and animal diseases including cancers and infectious diseases, paving the way for Invion to build significant Shareholder value from its pipeline of clinical programs;
- no up-front cash payment for grant of the licence, the consideration consists of Consideration Shares in three tranches subject to milestones being met and royalties on payments received by Invion;
16
- the Company will retain all data and IP from drug development (post-drug substance) through to commercialisation;
- the Company's portfolio of assets will be expanded, diversifying its business into treatment of other indications and there is an opportunity to build substantial value for Shareholders if the NGPDT technology is successfully proven and the Company obtains relevant approvals to commercialise the technology and products, noting the Company has global rights for various indications;
- the issue of the Consideration Shares is connected to and contingent upon the achievement of value-adding milestones, and accordingly, while there will be dilution effects, the Consideration Shares are only issued upon certain events occurring that the Board considers to be value accretive to shareholders;
- the Proposed Transaction eliminates reliance on RMWCG for future funding by settling and extinguishing legacy co-development and reimbursement arrangements, including the extinguishment of the $4.1 million R&D receivable, providing greater structural clarity and a more predictable commercial framework for the Company going forward;
- the Company will gain greater autonomy over clinical sequencing, market prioritisation and partnering strategy, and may pursue value-maximising development pathways that were constrained under prior agreements with RMWCG;
- the Proposed Transaction creates strategic optionality to sublicense or monetise Photosoft™ as a platform technology (subject to licence terms), enabling new commercial pathways — including sublicensing in non-core territories or indications, co-development partnerships and technology licensing — that are not available under the current agreements;
- the scrip-based consideration and ongoing royalty arrangements may better align the long-term incentives of the Company and RMWCG, including by deferring dilution unless genuine value is created, and incentivising RMWCG to continue providing background scientific expertise, ad-hoc technical support (particularly in respect of new compound development and patent maintenance) and the continued development of additional future compounds within the Photosoft™ platform; and
- the Proposed Transaction is expected to materially enhance the Company's global commercialisation optionality and increases the total addressable market by an estimated $73.2 billion (approximately 546% uplift), noting that the realisation of value remains subject to the future progress and success of the Company's clinical development programs.
1.9 Key disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction
The Directors (with Mr Thian Chew abstaining) consider that the key disadvantages to the Company and non-associated Shareholders of completing the Proposed Transaction are as follows:
- the current Shareholders will have their interests in the Company diluted by 11.2% following the issue of 12,235,322 Consideration Shares upon approval of the Proposed Transaction, and if all of the relevant milestones are also met then an additional 24,470,644 Consideration Shares will be issued, diluting Shareholders up to a cumulative 27.46% based on current shareholdings;
- if all of the 36,705,966 Consideration Shares are issued, and Resolution 8 is also approved (relating to the approval of incentives to Mr Thian Chew), RMWCG and its associates will have a voting power of up to 38.15% on completion of the Proposed Transaction;
- there is no guarantee that the research and development in relation to, or the commercialisation of, the NGPDT technology will be successful or result in a positive outcome for Shareholders and there are a number of risk factors associated with the Proposed Transaction, which are outlined below;
- the Company will assume responsibility for substantially all future R&D, clinical development, regulatory and commercialisation costs across an expanded portfolio; the increased scope of rights is expected to materially increase future funding requirements, which may necessitate additional capital raisings, partnering arrangements or adjustments to development priorities;
- the Company will be obligated to pay an ongoing royalty of 10% of net sales (and 20% of sublicensing receipts) to NGPDT IP HoldCo, which will reduce the Company's share of economic returns from any successful commercialisation of the Photosoft™ technology;
- the global expansion of rights increases the Company's scope of operational responsibility, including management of multi-jurisdictional regulatory pathways, clinical trials across new indications and broader IP maintenance obligations, which may strain the Company's existing resources and capabilities unless supported by future partnerships or funding;
- by deploying equity capital toward securing global rights to Photosoft™, the Company foregoes the ability to deploy that equity toward future capital raisings, internal R&D initiatives or other investment or partnership opportunities;
- the Company remains subject to ongoing key-person risk in respect of Mr Cho, particularly in relation to platform expansion, patent stewardship and new compound innovation, and no formal succession plan or alternative technical leadership structure has been disclosed;
- the limited transparency surrounding RMWCG's financial capacity and governance, together with the Company's historical experience in seeking to enforce contractual obligations, represents an ongoing structural risk; enforcement of rights under the Licence Security Agreement or other Transaction Documents (including in Hong Kong) may be subject to practical, financial and jurisdictional constraints; and
- as part of the Proposed Transaction, Invion has agreed to release all claims against RMWCG, including amounts outstanding under the prior R&D Services Agreement. This includes the release from the obligation of the $4.1 million receivable owed by RMWCG to Invion. This receivable arose from R&D expenditure incurred by Invion under contractual arrangements pursuant to which RMWCG was obliged to reimburse those costs; however, RMWCG failed to pay amounts owed since 25 September 2023, and Invion has not been able to successfully recover the outstanding balance. The Non-Associated Directors have formed the view that this receivable is not recoverable, having regard to Invion's historical experience with RMWCG, including the cessation of reimbursement payments in recent years, RMWCG's limited financial capacity, and the practical constraints enforcing a judgement against a foreign incorporated entity and the potential adverse impact on the ongoing development of the Photosoft™ technology. Consistent with this assessment, the receivable was fully impaired in Invion's FY25 annual report, and Management has confirmed there is no intention to pursue recovery. As part of the transaction, Invion and RMWCG have agreed to terminate all existing agreements currently in place between them and to release all claims arising out of or in connection with those agreements, which includes amounts owing by RMWCG to Invion for reimbursement of R&D expenses under the existing R&D Services Agreement. In agreeing to release all claims against RMWCG, including amounts outstanding under the prior R&D Services Agreement, the Non-Associated Directors have had regard to the uncertainty surrounding recovery of those amounts, and consider that the release reflects a pragmatic assessment of limited recoverability rather than the relinquishment of value that would otherwise be reasonably expected to be realised.
1.10 Key risks if the Proposed Transaction proceeds
Shareholders should consider the Independent Expert's Report when considering the risks associated with the Proposed Transaction. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of the key risk factors associated with the Proposed Transaction is set out below.
(a) Dilution Risk
Under the Proposed Transaction, the Company may issue up to 36,705,966 Shares, subject to certain milestones being satisfied, as described in Resolution 2 and section 6 of Annexure B. If all of the Consideration Shares are issued, Shareholders will be diluted up to approximately a cumulative 27.5% based on current shareholdings.
Further information on the effect of the Proposed Transaction on the capital structure of Invion is as set out below.
There is also a risk that the interests of Shareholders may be further diluted if future capital raisings are required in order to fund its activities.
Accordingly, the issue of the Shares under the Proposed Transaction will have a significant dilutionary effect on the Company's existing Shareholders.
(b) Significant Shareholder
Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, assuming all of the relevant milestones are achieved (and all 36,705,966 Shares are issued, and assuming Resolution 8 is also passed (relating to the approval of incentives to Mr Thian Chew) RMWCG and its associates may collectively have a voting power of up to approximately 38.15%.
This will allow RMWCG and its associates to potentially block any special resolutions.
(c) Large escrowed shareholding
Under the terms of the Licence Agreement, RMWCG may be issued up to 36,705,966, Shares subject to the achievement of certain milestones, set out in Resolution 2. The Consideration Shares will be subject to escrow for a period of 12 months commencing from the issue date of the securities, in accordance with 9B of the ASX Listing Rules. This escrow and the high level of ownership by RMWCG and its associates may affect the liquidity of Shares.
Any sale of Shares by RMWCG following the expiry of the escrow period, or the perception that such sale might occur could adversely affect the market price of the Shares. The concentration of ownership could also affect the liquidity of the market for the Shares, which in turn could affect the prospect of Invion being considered as a target for a control transaction in the short to medium term.
(d) Effect on possible takeover offers
As the Relevant Interest held by RMWCG and its associates may increase to a maximum of 38.15%, this may influence a decision by a third party not to bid for the Company because it would not be confident that it could reach the compulsory acquisition threshold (90%) or that any scheme of arrangement (which requires amongst other things approval by shareholders of both 75% of votes cast and 50% by shareholder headcount) will be successful.
(e) Technology, regulatory, drug development, commercialisaton risk
As a clinical stage pharmaceutical drug development company, the Invion business is subject to risk factors both specific to its business activities and of a general nature. Invion may be
19
unable to secure necessary approvals from regulatory agencies to conduct clinical trials. There is also no assurance that NGPDT will prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials, or that the regulatory approval to manufacture and market its products will be received. Further, there can be no guarantee that in the event of successful clinical trials and receipt of regulatory approvals, that the NGPDT technology can be successfully commercialised.
1.11 Impact on shareholding and capital structure
The Company currently has 96,965,315 Shares, 65,894,631 Listed Options, 17,686,869 unlisted options and 578,118 convertible notes on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. Assuming the transactions contemplated by Resolutions 1, 2 and 8 are passed (and all milestones are satisfied), the Company will have 138,671,281 Shares, 70,894,631 Listed Options, 17,686,869 unlisted options and 578,118 convertible notes on issue. None of the current holders of convertible notes are associates of RMWCG or NGPDT IP Holdco (noting however that the convertible notes to be issued to Polar Ventures Limited are the subject of Resolution 5).
The impact of the Proposed Transaction on the capital structure of Invion can be summarised as follows (assuming Resolutions 1,2 and 8 are approved):
| Shares | Options | Percentage of issued capital (in relation to Shares) on completion of the Proposed Transaction | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current number on issue | 96,965,315 | 83,581,500 | 69.92% |
| Maximum number of Consideration Shares (assuming all milestones are satisfied) (Resolutions 1 and 2) | 36,705,966 | - | 26.47% |
| Equity based incentives to Mr Thian Chew (Resolution 8) | 5,000,000 | 5,000,000 | 3.61% |
| Total | 138,671,281 | 88,581,500 | 100% |
If Resolutions 1, 2 and 8 are passed at the Meeting, the overall ownership structure of the Company will be as follows:
| Shareholder | Number of Shares | Percentage interest |
|---|---|---|
| RMWCG and its associates¹ | 53,409,887 | 38.15% |
| All other non-associated Shareholders | 85,261,394 | 61.85% |
| Total | 138,671,281 | 100% |
¹ NGPDT IP HoldCo currently holds no Shares, however its associates include RMWC Pty Ltd (currently holding 3,142,372 Shares), Thian Chew (currently holding 246,706 Shares), Polar Ventures Limited (currently holding 5,468,578 Shares and Michael Cho (currently holding 2,346,265 Shares.

1.12 Independent Expert Report
Listing Rule 10.10.2 requires that a notice of meeting seeking shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.1 must contain a report from an independent expert stating whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to holders of the entity's ordinary securities whose votes are not to be disregarded.
Further, ASIC Regulatory Guide 74 provides that a notice of meeting that seeks approval under section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act must include an independent expert's report which states whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to holders of the entity's ordinary securities whose votes are not to be disregarded.
Accordingly, for the purposes of Resolutions 1 and 2, the Directors have appointed the Independent Expert and commissioned it to prepare a report as to whether or not, in their opinion, the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to non-associated Shareholders.
What is fair and reasonable must be judged by the Independent Expert in all the circumstances of the proposal. This requires taking into account the likely advantages to non-associated Shareholders if the proposal is approved and comparing them with the disadvantages to them if the proposal is not approved.
The Independent Expert has concluded that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable.
The Company strongly recommends that you read the Independent Expert's Report in full, a copy of which is attached as Annexure C.
1.13 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company must:
- obtain the approval of members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
- give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the benefit falls within an exception set out in section 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Directors (with Mr Chew abstaining) have not sought approval for the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act on the basis that they consider the Proposed Transaction to fall within the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act on the basis that the Proposed Transaction is reasonable in the circumstances and the parties were dealing at arms' length.
1.14 Conditionality of Resolutions 1 and 2
Each of Resolutions 1 and 2 are conditional upon each other being approved. That is, each of Resolutions 1 and 2 will only be passed if the other is passed at the General Meeting. In the event that one or more of Resolutions 1 and 2 are not approved, then:
- the Proposed Transaction will not proceed;
- the Transaction Documents will be terminated as the condition precedent for Shareholder approval has not been satisfied; and
- Invion's share price may fall.
22
1.15 Director's recommendation
Based on the information available (including, as described in this Explanatory Statement) and in the absence of a superior proposal, each of the Directors (with Mr Chew abstaining) consider that the Proposed Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
Information specific to Resolution 1
1.16 Listing Rule 10.1
Listing Rule 10.1 provides that an entity (or any of its subsidiaries) must not acquire a “substantial asset” from, or dispose of a substantial asset to, any of the following persons without the approval of the entity’s security holders:
(a) a related party;
(b) a subsidiary;
(c) a “substantial holder”, if the person and the person’s associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the 6 months before the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the voting securities;
(d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; or
(e) a person whose relationship to the entity is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the transaction should be approved by security holders.
Under Listing Rule 10.2, an asset is “substantial” if its value, or the value of the consideration for it is, or in ASX’s opinion is, 5% or more of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
The acquisition of rights by Invion from NGPDT IP HoldCo in relation to the NGPDT technology is considered as an acquisition of a “substantial asset” as the value of the consideration will be more than 5% of the equity interests of Invion.
Approval under Listing Rule 10.1 is required because NGPDT IP HoldCo is an associate of Thian Chew, who is a related party.
Listing Rule 10.5.10 requires the Company to include in this Notice of Meeting a report on the Proposed Transaction from an independent expert stating the expert’s opinion as to whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to non-associated Shareholders. The Company has commissioned the Independent Expert’s Report for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.5.10. The Independent Expert has concluded that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable.
Shareholders should consider the Independent Expert’s Report in detail and if in doubt seek advice from a professional adviser.
1.17 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.5
The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 10.5:
a. the Company is acquiring the rights to NGPDT under the Proposed Transaction from RMW Cho Group Limited and NGPDT IP Holdings Pty Ltd;
b. RMWCG and NGPDT IP Holdings Pty Ltd are considered as associates of Mr Thian Chew (the CEO and Executive Chair of the Company) under Listing Rule 10.1.4;
c. the details of the rights being acquired are summarised above and also in the summary of the material terms of the Transaction Documents in Annexure B;
d. no funds will be paid for the acquisition;
e. if Resolutions 1 and 2 are approved, the Transaction Documents will become effective and the Proposed Transaction will complete. The Consideration Shares equal a total of 36,705,966 Shares, subject to various milestones. The Consideration Shares for Milestone 1 (12,235,322 Shares) will be issued within 10 business days of approval by Shareholders.

1.18 Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can agree to issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 8), if approval is given under section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act for the grant of Consideration Shares to RMWCG, no further approval will be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the proposed grant of Consideration Shares. The effect of this is that the grant of those Shares will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity allowed to be issued by the Company without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
1.19 Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not, without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to certain persons, including:
- 10.11.1: related party; or
- 10.11.4: an associate of a related party.
The proposed issue of the Consideration Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.4 above, as the proposed recipient of the Consideration Shares is an associate of Mr Thian Chew, who is a Director and therefore related party of the Company.
ASX Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 6) provides that if the issue of shares is approved for the purpose of item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, approval is not required for ASX Listing Rule 10.11 purposes.
1.20 Section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act
Under section 606 of the Corporations Act, subject to limited specified exemptions, a person must not acquire a “Relevant Interest” in issued voting shares in a public company, if as a result of the acquisition any person’s voting power in the company would increase:
(a) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or
(b) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.
In broad terms, a person has a “Relevant Interest” in shares if that person holds shares or has the power to control the right to vote or dispose of shares. A person’s voting power in a company is the number of voting shares in which the person (and its associates) has a Relevant Interest compared with the total number of voting shares in a company.
Under section 12(2) of the Corporations Act, a person (second person) will be an associate of the other person (first person) if:
(a) the first person is a body corporate and the second person is:
(i) a body corporate the first person controls;
(ii) a body corporate that control the first person; or
(iii) a body corporate that is controlled by an entity that controls the first person;
(b) the second person has entered or proposed to enter in a relevant agreement with the first person for the purpose of controlling or influencing the composition of the company’s board or the conduct of the company’s affairs; and
(c) the second person is a person with whom the first person is acting or proposed to act, in concert in relation to the company’s affairs.
Section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act provides an exemption to the prohibition stated above. Section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act allows a person (and its associates) to acquire a Relevant Interest in shares that would otherwise be prohibited under section 606(2) of the Corporations Act, if the proposed acquisition is approved in advance by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, and:
(a) no votes are cast in favour of the resolution by the proposed acquirers or their associates; and
24
(b) there is full disclosure of all information that is known to the proposed acquirer and its associates or known to the Company that is material to a decision on how to vote on resolution, including:
(i) the identity of the person proposed to make the acquisition and their associates;
(ii) the maximum extent of the increase in that person’s voting power in the company that would result from the acquisition;
(iii) the voting power that person would have as a result of the acquisition;
(iv) the maximum extent of the increase in the voting power of each of that person’s associates that would result from the acquisition; and
(v) the voting power that each of that person’s associates would have as a result of the acquisition.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought in respect of the issue of Consideration Shares which will result in RMWCG and its associates increasing their respective voting power in the Company from 20% or below to more than 20%.
1.21 Specific information required for the purpose of approval under section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act

2. Resolution 3: Ratification of prior issue of Convertible Notes
3.1 Background
As announced to the ASX on 30 January 2026, the Company is raising $1.25 million via the issue of Convertible Notes. The Company issued 578,118 Convertible Notes utilising the Company's 7.1 Capacity on 5 March 2026.
The Company also proposes to, subject to shareholders approval, issue an additional 671,882 Convertible Notes, including an issue of 244,000 Convertible Notes to Polar Ventures Limited (an associate of Mr Thian Chew, Executive Chairman and CEO).
The funds raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes will be used to accelerate Invion's key programs in multiple cancer indications as summarised below:
- clinical trials (Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer and Anogenital Cancer): $0.5m to $1m;
- support for partner-funded studies (including manufacturing and device development): $0.1m to $0.2m; and
- balance of funds to be used for working capital requirements.
3.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Resolution 3 proposes that Shareholders approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 578,118 Convertible Notes which were issued on 6 February 2026 (Issue Date).
All of the Convertible Notes were issued by utilising the Company's existing 7.1 Capacity.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can agree to issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period (7.1 Capacity).
The issues the subject of Resolution 3 do not fit within any of these expectations and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses as part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following their respective issue dates.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and will not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue under and for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4.
27
If the Resolution is passed, the issue of Equity Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the relevant issue date.
If the Resolution is not passed, the relevant issue will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the relevant issue date.
3.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the issue of Convertible Notes:
(a) the Convertible Notes were issued to the Noteholders on 5 March 2026.

(b) the Company issued 578,118 Convertible Notes;
(c) The material terms of the Convertible Notes are summarised in Annexure D. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Noteholders will be issued one fully paid ordinary share on the same terms as the other fully paid ordinary shares in Invion and one unlisted Option (the terms of which are also summarised in Annexure D);
(d) the Convertible Notes were issued with a face value of $1.00 per Convertible Note to raise approximately $578,118; and
(e) the funds raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes were / will be used for clinical trials (non-melanoma skin cancer, anogenital cancer), support for partner funded studies (including manufacturing and device development) and general working capital requirements.

5.4 Section 606 and 611 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, a person must not acquire a “relevant interest” in issued voting shares in a listed company if the person acquiring the interest does so through a transaction in relation to securities entered into by or on behalf of the person and because of the transaction, that person’s or someone else’s voting power in the company increases:
(a) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or
(b) from a starting point above 20% and below 90%.
The voting power of a person in a body corporate is determined in accordance with Section 610 of the Corporations Act. The calculation of a person’s voting power in a company involves determining the voting shares in the company in which the person and the person’s associates have a relevant interest. Section 611 of the Corporations Act provides that certain acquisitions of relevant interests in a company’s voting shares are exempt from the prohibition in section 606(1), including acquisitions by a person, which as a result of the acquisition, that person would have voting power in the company more than 3% higher than they had 6 months before the acquisition (this exemption is known as the “3% creep” exemption and is found in of item 9 of section 611 of the Corporations Act).
Polar Ventures Limited and its associates will only be able to convert the Convertible Notes and be issued Shares to the extent that it is not in breach of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act in reliance on the exception in Item 9 of section 611 (the 3% “creep” exemption) of the Corporations Act.

The equity-based incentives are subject to the approval of the Proposed Transaction and a successful equity capital raising of at least $3,000,000 during FY2026.
The Company is proposing to issue to Mr Thian Chew (or his nominee) 5,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 Listed Options on achieving the above milestone (together, the Incentive Securities).

9 Resolutions 9(a), (b), and (c)
9.1 Background
Resolutions 9(a), (b) and (c) seek Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and all other purposes for the issue of Options to certain Directors of the Company, being Mr Thian Chew, Mr Alan Yamashita and Mr Alistair Bennallack (or their respective nominees), as consideration for accrued but unpaid Director’s fees for the period between 1 May 2024 to December 2025 (excluding the period between September to November 2024).
The Directors seek Shareholder approval of these Resolutions to issue zero priced unlisted Options in lieu of the Company making physical cash payments for Directors’ fees payable for the periods stated.
The Company is currently reviewing its corporate overheads, including Directors and management fees, in order to maintain cash reserves, and ensure that resources, including cash, are effectively applied to meet company objectives. The Company is of the view that remunerating Directors by way of equity aligns the interests of Shareholders and Directors, while reducing cash expenditure.
9.2 Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not, without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to certain persons, including:
- 10.11.1: related party; or
- 10.11.4: an associate of a related party
The proposed issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and/or 10.11.4 above, as the proposed recipients of the Options are Directors and are therefore related parties of the Company. The proposed issue of Options therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Resolution 9(a), (b) and (c) seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue these Options to Directors for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolutions 9(a), (b) and (c) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options and the Directors (or their nominee(s)) will receive the value of Options set out in the table below, with the potential increase in their shareholdings as described below.
If Resolutions 9(a), (b) and (c) are not passed, the Company will not proceed with the issue of the Options to the Directors, and the applicable Director (or his nominee(s)) will not receive the Options or potential shareholdings as described in the table below and the Directors fees will need to be paid in cash.
If approvals are given under Listing Rule 10.11, approvals are not required under Listing Rule 7.1, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14. The effect of this is that the grant of those Options or the issue of Shares on the exercise price of those Options will not be included in the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity allowed to be issued without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
9.3 Terms of Options
The terms of the Options are the following:
- the Options will be issued no later than 1 month following the approval of shareholders at the Meeting;
- the Options will be issued for nil consideration;
- the Options will be issued in lieu of remuneration. As such there is no issue price, and the Company will not receive cash from the issue of the Options;
36
- the Options expire on the date 3 years after the issue date and the material terms of the Options are set out in Annexure F; and
- Upon exercise, one Option entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company (details of the Options grant for each Director is outlined below):
| Resolution | Name of Director | Role | Value of Directors fees to be issued as Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution 9(a) | Mr Thian Chew | Executive Chairman | $127,500 |
| Resolution 9(b) | Mr Alan Yamashita | Non-Executive Director | $77,549.75 |
| Resolution 9(c) | Mr Alistair Bennallack | Non-Executive Director | $77,549.75 |
To calculate the number of Options to be issued to Directors, Directors' fees are to be divided by the VWAP of the Company's Shares on the ASX for the 14 trading days prior to the issue date of the Options (14-day VWAP).
The following table sets out illustrative examples of the number of options granted assuming different VWAP for the 14 days, prior to the issue date of the Options, upon which shares of the Company traded on ASX.
| Example 14-day VWAP | $0.08 | $0.09 | $0.10 | $0.11 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution 9(a) total number of Options to be issued to Mr Chew | 1,593,750 | 1,416,667 | 1,275,000 | 1,159,090 |
| Resolution 9(b) total number of Options to be issued to Mr Yamashita | 969,372 | 861,664 | 775,498 | 704,998 |
| Resolution 9(c) total number of Options to be issued to Mr Bennallack | 969,372 | 861,664 | 775,498 | 704,998 |
Note: Calculations that result in a fraction are to be rounded up.
Following issue of the Options, based on an assumed 14-day VWAP of $0.10:
- Mr Thian Chew (or his nominee(s)) would be issued 1,275,000 Options;
- Mr Alan Yamashita (or his nominee(s)) would be issued 775,498 Options; and
- Mr Alistair Bennallack (or his nominee(s)) would be issued 775,498 Options.
The total remuneration package for each Director as set out in Invion's 2025 Annual Report is as follows:
- Mr Thian Chew (Executive Chairman and CEO): $509,841 (including CEO salary of $399,000, Director's fees of $90,000, service leave of $23,769 and equity settled payments of $87,072);
- Mr Alan Yamashita (Non-Executive Director): $54,741; and

9.4 Directors Recommendations
The Board (with each Director abstaining in respect of the Resolution that relates to an issue of Options to them) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each Resolution.
9.5 Voting Exclusions
Refer to Note 7 for voting exclusions on Resolution 9(a) to (c).
10 Resolution 10(a), (b) and (c)
10.1 Background
The Company's Employee Incentive Plan (EIP) was approved by Shareholders of the Company on 26 November 2025 Annual General Meeting.
The Company seeks to invite Mr Thian Chew, Mr Alan Yamashita and Mr Alistair Bennallack, subject to Shareholder approval that is sought under Resolutions 10(a), (b) and (c), to participate in the EIP by subscribing for the following securities under the EIP (Incentive Options)
- Resolution 10(a): Mr Thian Chew, 2,541,860, Incentive Options;
- Resolution 10(b): Mr Alan Yamashita, 317,732, Incentive Options;
- Resolution 10(c): Mr Alistair Bennallack, 317,732, Incentive Options.
10.2 Director and Related Party Approvals
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders:
(a) a director of the Company;
(b) an associate of a director of the Company; or
(c) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders.
As each of Mr Thian Chew, Mr Alan Yamashita and Mr Alistair Bennallack fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 (and their nominees fall within 10.14.2), the proposed issue of Incentive Options constitutes the acquisition of Options under an employee incentive plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and therefore requires the approval of the Company's shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
To this end:
- Resolution 10(a) seeks the required shareholder approval to issue the Incentive Options to Mr Thian Chew (or his nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14;
- Resolution 10(b) seeks the required shareholder approval to issue the Incentive Options to Mr Alan Yamashita (or his nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14; and
- Resolution 10(c) seeks the required shareholder approval to issue the Incentive Options to Mr Alistair Bennallack (or his nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14, in accordance with Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 8), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11 or 7.1 by virtue of Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14).
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Incentive Options.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issues and may need to negotiate other potential ways to incentivise Mr Thian Chew, Mr Alan Yamashita and Mr Alistair Bennallack.
10.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Information in relation to Chapter 2E is set out in Section 1.13 above.
The Directors of the Company (with each relevant director abstaining in respect of its own resolution) carefully considered the issue of the Incentive Options and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit constitutes reasonable remuneration given the circumstances of the Company, the quantum and terms of the Incentive Options, and the responsibilities held by each Director.
Accordingly, the Directors of the Company believe that the issue of these Incentive Options fall within the "reasonable remuneration" exception as set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution.
Therefore, the proposed issue of Incentive Options requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 only.

General Financial Product Advice
This Report sets out what is described as general financial product advice. This Report does not consider personal objectives, individual financial position or needs and therefore does not represent personal financial product advice. Consequently, any person using this Report must consider their own objectives, financial situation and needs. They may wish to obtain professional advice to assist in this assessment.
The Assignment
BDOCF has been engaged to provide general financial product advice in the form of a report in relation to a financial product. Specifically, BDOCF has been engaged to provide an independent expert's report to the non-associated shareholders ('Shareholders') of Invion Limited ('Invion' or 'the Company') in relation to Invion's proposed acquisition of an expanded portfolio of perpetual, exclusive global licensing rights to the Photosoft™ technology from RMW Cho Group Limited ('RMWCG') and NGPDT IP Holdings Pty Ltd ('NGPDT IP') ('the Proposed Transaction').
Further details of the Proposed Transaction are set out in Section 4. The scope of this Report is set out in detail in Section 3.3. This Report provides an opinion on whether or not the Proposed Transaction is 'fair and reasonable' to the Shareholders and has been prepared to provide information to the Shareholders to assist them to make an informed decision on whether to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction. Other important information relating to this Report is set out in more detail in Section 3.
This Report cannot be relied upon for any purpose other than the purpose mentioned above and cannot be relied upon by any person or entity other than those mentioned above, unless we have provided our express consent in writing to do so. A Shareholder's decision to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction is likely to be influenced by their particular circumstances, for example, their taxation considerations and risk profile. Each Shareholder should obtain their own professional advice in relation to their own circumstances.
Fees, Commissions and Other Benefits we may Receive
We charge a fee for providing reports. The fees are negotiated with the party who engages us to provide a report. We estimate the fee for the preparation of this Report will be approximately $110,000 plus GST. Fees are usually charged as a fixed amount or on an hourly basis depending on the terms of the agreement with the engaging party. Our fees for this Report are not contingent on the outcome of the Proposed Transaction.
Except for the fees referred to above, neither BDOCF, nor any of its directors, employees or related entities, receive any pecuniary benefit or other benefit, directly or indirectly, for or in connection with the provision of this Report.
Directors of BDOCF may receive a share in the profits of BDO Group Holdings Limited, a parent entity of BDOCF. All directors and employees of BDO Group Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (including BDOCF) are entitled to receive a salary. Where a director of BDOCF is a shareholder of BDO Group Holdings Limited, the person is entitled to share in the profits of BDO Group Holdings Limited.
Associations and relationships
From time to time BDOCF or its related entities may provide professional services to issuers of financial products in the ordinary course of its business. These services may include audit, tax and business advisory services. BDOCF and its related entities have not provided any professional services to Invion, RMWCG or NGPDT IP over the last two years.
The signatories to this Report do not hold any shares in Invion and no such shares have ever been held by the signatories.

PART I: ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
The Shareholders
C/- The Directors
Invion Limited
Suite 2, Level 11, 385 Bourke Street
Melbourne VIC 3000
13 April 2026
Dear Shareholders,
1.0 Introduction
BDO Corporate Finance Ltd ('BDOCF', 'we', 'us' or 'our') has been engaged to provide an independent expert's report ('this Report') to the non-associated shareholders ('the Shareholders') of Invion Limited ('Invion' or 'the Company') in relation to Invion's proposed acquisition of an expanded portfolio of perpetual, exclusive global licensing rights to the Photosoft™ technology from RMW Cho Group Limited ('RMWCG') and NGPDT IP Holdings Pty Ltd ('NGPDT IP') ('the Proposed Transaction'). Under the Proposed Transaction, Invion will secure long-term exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, commercialise and sub-licence Photosoft™ across a materially expanded suite of oncology, infectious disease, ophthalmology, periodontal and veterinary indications (the 'Licensed Indications').
The Proposed Transaction has been entered into by way of a Licence Agreement with NGPDT IP ('Licence Agreement') and a Licence Security Agreement with RMWCG, providing an interim licence pending the transfer of legal ownership of the Photosoft™ intellectual property from RMWCG to NGPDT IP ('Licence Security Agreement'). Under the terms of the Licence Agreement, Invion will issue up to 36,705,966 new shares to RMWCG across three clinical-based milestones ('Consideration Shares'), pay royalties on future net sales and certain sublicensing or analogous commercialisation payments, and terminate all existing agreements with RMWCG, including the prior R&D services agreement and all related claims or reimbursement arrangements.
For completeness, references in this Report to the "Licensor" are used to describe the party granting rights in respect of the Photosoft™ technology under the relevant transaction documents. Depending on the context, this may refer to RMWCG (as current legal owner of the underlying IP and recipient of equity consideration) or NGPDT IP (as contractual licensor under the Licence Agreement and recipient of ongoing royalty and economic participation rights). Where a distinction is material to the analysis, we refer specifically to RMWCG or NGPDT IP.
A more detailed description of the Proposed Transaction is set out in Section 4.
This Report is prepared pursuant to item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act 2001 Cth ('the Act') and ASX Listing Rule 10.1, and is to be included in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum dated on or about 28 April 2026 ('Notice of Meeting') prepared by Invion in order to assist the Shareholders to form a view on whether to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction.
In this Report, BDOCF has expressed an opinion as to whether or not the Proposed Transaction is 'fair and reasonable' to the Shareholders. This Report has been prepared solely for use by the Shareholders to provide them with information relating to the Proposed Transaction. The scope and purpose of this Report are detailed in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 respectively.
This Report, including Part I, Part II and the appendices, should be read in full along with all other documentation provided to the Shareholders including the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum dated on or about 28 April 2026 prepared by Invion ('the Notice of Meeting') in relation to the general meeting to be held on 29 May 2026 ('the Meeting').

2.0 Assessment of the Proposed Transaction
This section is set out as follows:
- Section 2.1 sets out the methodology for our assessment of the Proposed Transaction;
- Section 2.2 sets out our assessment of the fairness of the Proposed Transaction;
- Section 2.3 sets out our assessment of the reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction; and
- Section 2.4 provides our assessment of whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders.
2.1 Basis of evaluation
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission ('ASIC') have issued Regulatory Guide 111: Content of Expert Reports ('RG 111'), which provides guidance in relation to independent expert's reports. RG 111 relates to the provision of independent expert's reports in a range of circumstances, including those where the expert is required to provide an opinion in relation to a takeover transaction. RG 111 states that the independent expert's report should explain the particulars of how the transaction was examined and evaluated as well as the results of the examination and evaluation.
The Proposed Transaction involves the grant of exclusive, perpetual global licensing rights to Invion under the Transaction Documents. The consideration to be paid by Invion includes:
- Issuance of up to 36.7 million Invion shares to RMWCG upon satisfaction of three milestones, being;
- 12.2 million upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent (refer to Section 4.3) for the Proposed Transaction;
- 12.2 million on commencement by Invion of a Phase II investigational new drug ('IND')-enabled clinical trial (dosing first patient) in any licensed cancer indication; and
- 12.2 million on commencement of a Phase II IND-enabled clinical trial (dosing first patient) in another licensed cancer indication, or a Phase III/pivotal IND-enabled clinical trial in any licensed cancer indication.
- the payment of royalties on future net sales; and
- the termination and mutual release of all claims arising under existing agreements between Invion and RMWCG, including the release from the obligation of the $4.1 million receivable owed by RMWCG to Invion.
The issuance of 36.7 million shares in Invion to RMWCG, together with the securities proposed under Resolution 8, will result in RMWCG and its associates' relevant interest in the Company increasing from 11.55% up to a maximum of 38.15% on an undiluted basis. For consistency with the Notice of Meeting, all references to maximum voting power in this Report assume full issuance of the Consideration Shares and approval of Resolution 8. RG 111 specifically differentiates between control and non-control transactions in providing guidance on the type of analysis to complete. RG 111 suggests that where the transaction is a control transaction the expert should focus on the substance of the control transaction rather than the legal mechanism to affect it. In our opinion the Proposed Transaction is a control transaction as defined by RG 111 and we have assessed the Proposed Transaction by considering whether, in our opinion, it is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders.
Under RG 111, a transaction will be considered 'fair' if the value of the consideration to be received by the shareholders is equal to or greater than the value of the shares that are the subject of the transaction. To assess whether a transaction is 'reasonable', an expert should examine other significant factors to which shareholders may give consideration prior to accepting or approving the transaction. This includes comparing the likely advantages and disadvantages if the transaction is approved with the position of the shareholders if the transaction is not approved.
RG 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if it is fair. It might also be reasonable if, despite being 'not fair', the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept an offer in the absence of a higher bid. Our assessment concludes by providing our opinion as to whether or not the Proposed Transaction is 'fair and reasonable'. While all relevant issues need to be considered before drawing an overall conclusion, we will assess the fairness and reasonableness issues separately for clarity.
We have assessed the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 below and provide an opinion on whether the Proposed Transaction is 'fair and reasonable' to the Shareholders in Section 2.4 below.

2.2 Assessment of fairness
2.2.1 Basis of assessment
RG 111 states that a transaction is fair if the value of the offer price or consideration is greater than the value of the securities subject to the offer. This comparison should be made assuming a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, buyer and a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, seller acting at arm's length. When considering the value of the securities subject to an offer in a control transaction the expert should consider this value inclusive of a control premium and assume a 100% ownership interest.
In our view, it is appropriate to assess the fairness of the Proposed Transaction to the Shareholders as follows:
a) Determine the value of an Invion share on a controlling interest basis prior to the Proposed Transaction;
b) Determine the value of an Invion share on a minority interest basis after the Proposed Transaction; and
c) Compare the value determined in a) above with the value of b) to determine if the Proposed Transaction is fair.
In accordance with the requirements of RG 111, the Proposed Transaction can be considered 'fair' to the Shareholders if the value determined in b) above is equal to or greater than the value determined in a) above.
2.2.2 Value of a Invion share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis
In our view, for the purposes of the analysis set out in this Report, it is appropriate to adopt a value in the range of $0.1040 to $0.1820 per Invion share on a controlling interest basis prior to the Proposed Transaction. In forming this view, we considered the following methodologies:
- Share transactions methodology; and
- Replacement cost approach.
Our valuation of Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction is set out in Section 8. In relation to our valuation, we note that Invion is a company focused on early-stage photodynamic therapy ('PDT') development. In our view, the value of such companies may increase or decrease materially over short time periods depending on the results from the various clinical studies and trials being completed and prevailing market sentiment toward pre-revenue biotechnology companies, among other matters.
2.2.3 Value of an Invion share after the Proposed Transaction on a minority interest basis
The value we have calculated for an Invion share following the Proposed Transaction, on a minority basis, is in the range of $0.0800 to $0.1981 per share.
Based on our primary valuation methodology (as outlined in Section 9), we have assigned a fundamental post-Proposed Transaction valuation range of $0.1065 to $0.1981 per share. However, having regard to observable share trading data and near-term funding and dilution risks, we have reduced the lower bound to $0.0800 per share for the purposes of our concluded valuation range.
The primary factors driving the change in our calculated valuation range, pre and post the Proposed Transaction, are:
- Acquisition of the additional Photosoft™ rights: Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, Invion will hold exclusive, perpetual global rights to Photosoft™ across certain Licensed Indications. For the purposes of our valuation analysis, we have assumed that all rights under the Licence Agreement and Licence Security Agreement are effective from completion. This materially expands the geographic scope over which the technology can be commercialised and partnered, increasing Invion's long-term commercial opportunity. This expanded market opportunity is a key input to our uplift assessment in Section 9, where we considered the implied increase in total addressable market ('TAM') attributable to the Proposed Transaction;
- Introduction of ongoing royalty, revenue-sharing and sublicensing obligations: Under the Proposed Transaction, Invion will be subject to ongoing economic obligations in respect of the commercialisation of Photosoft™-based products. In particular, Invion will pay royalties on future net sales of completed, licensed drugs (if any), share revenues generated from the sale of unfinished or intermediate drug products based on the parties' respective funding contributions, and be subject to economic sharing on certain sublicensing or analogous commercialisation receipts. These obligations reduce the future economic benefit attributable to Shareholders, including in the event of a sale or other alternative commercialisation pathway;
- Responsibility for R&D funding for Photosoft™: if the Proposed Transaction is implemented Invion will now be responsible for funding R&D for the progression of Photosoft™. Currently, any R&D expenditure incurred by Invion on Photosoft™ is contractually obliged to be reimbursed by RMWCG (albeit RMWCG has failed to pay amounts since 25 September 2023 and Invion has not been able to successfully recover the outstanding $4.1 million owed as at the date of this Report);
- Equity dilution: Following the Proposed Transaction, up to 36.7 million new Invion shares will be issued to RMWCG under the milestone-based consideration structure (for the purposes of our valuation analysis we have considered the complete issuance from all tranches). For completeness, we have also considered the impact of Resolution 8 of the Notice of Meeting, pursuant to which 5 million shares and 5 million options may be issued to Mr Thian Chew, conditional on approval of the Proposed Transaction and a capital raising milestone deemed to be likely achieved.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
Due to the conditional linkage to the Proposed Transaction, we have assumed for valuation purposes that Resolution 8 will be satisfied, and the associated equity instruments issued;
- Termination of historical agreements with RMWCG: The Proposed Transaction includes the termination of existing agreements between Invion and RMWCG, together with the mutual release of claims between both parties. In this context, the $4.1 million receivable previously recognised by Invion in respect of services provided under the R&D Services Agreement with RMWCG is not assumed to be recovered and is treated as foregone under the Proposed Transaction. This treatment reflects Management's advice regarding the low likelihood of near-term cash recovery and the potential for adverse commercial and operational consequences where enforcement action is pursued; and
- Near term funding and equity dilution risk: As outlined in Section 9.6, Invion is expected to require additional capital to progress its development programs. Having regard to Invion's recent trading performance, including daily VWAPs between $0.0824 and $0.0877 over the period from 1 February 2026 to 18 February 2026, there is a risk that further capital may be raised at or near these levels. In such circumstances, existing Shareholders may experience dilution. While the impact of Resolution 8 has been explicitly incorporated into our post-Proposed Transaction valuation, we have also reduced the lower end of the valuation range to reflect broader near-term funding and pricing uncertainty.
Our valuation of Invion following the Proposed Transaction is set out in Section 9 of this Report.
2.2.4 Assessment of the fairness of the Proposed Transaction
In order to assess the fairness of the Proposed Transaction, it is appropriate to compare the value of an Invion share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis with the value of an Invion share on a minority basis assuming the Proposed Transaction is implemented.
Table 2.1 below summarises our assessment of the fairness of the Proposed Transaction.
Table 2.1: Assessment of the fairness of the Proposed Transaction
| Low | High | |
|---|---|---|
| Value of an Invion share prior to the Proposed Transaction (controlling interest) | $0.1040 | $0.1820 |
| Value of an Invion share post the Proposed Transaction (minority interest) | $0.0800 | $0.1981 |
Source: BDOCF Analysis
Figure 2.1 summarises our assessment of the fairness of the Proposed Transaction, setting out a graphical comparison of our valuation of an Invion share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling interest basis and our valuation of a share in Invion on a minority basis after the Proposed Transaction.
Figure 2.1: Fairness of the Proposed Transaction

Source: BDOCF analysis
With reference to Table 2.1 and Figure 2.1, we note:
- The pre and post Proposed Transaction valuation ranges largely overlap;
- As detailed in Section 2.2.3, the lower end of the valuation range increases from $0.1040 per share (pre-transaction) to $0.1065 per share (prior to the adjustment made for near term funding risk). The upper end of the valuation ranges also increases from $0.1820 to $0.1981 per share on this same basis;
- The pre and post valuation ranges should be compared on a corresponding basis. That is, if Invion's shares are trading toward the lower end of the pre-transaction valuation range, the appropriate comparison is between the lower end of the pre-transaction range ($0.1040 per share) and the lower end of the post-transaction range ($0.1065 per share, before the funding adjustment). Likewise, if the market attributes value toward the upper end of the range, the relevant comparison is between the respective upper bounds ($0.1820 pre-transaction and $0.1981 post-transaction). It would not be appropriate to compare the lower bound of one range to the upper bound of the other, as each end of the range reflects a different market pricing scenario; and
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
- We have adopted $0.0800 per share at the lower end of the concluded post-Proposed Transaction valuation range to reflect near-term funding requirements and the potential for capital to be raised at prices consistent with recent trading levels (for example, daily VWAP between $0.0824 and $0.0877 from 1 February 2026 to 18 February 2026, refer to Table 5.7).
After considering the information summarised above and set out in detail in the balance of this Report, it is our view that, in the absence of any other information, the Proposed Transaction is Fair to Shareholders as at the date of this Report.
2.3 Assessment of reasonableness
2.3.1 Basis of assessment
Under RG 111, a transaction is considered reasonable if it is fair. It may also be reasonable, despite not being fair, if after considering other significant factors the interests of the shareholders are reasonably balanced.
In addition to our fairness assessment set out in Section 2.2 above, to assess whether the Proposed Transaction is 'reasonable' we consider it appropriate to examine other significant factors to which the Shareholders may give consideration prior to forming a view on whether to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction. This includes comparing the likely advantages and disadvantages of approving the Proposed Transaction with the position of a Shareholder if the Proposed Transaction is not approved, as well as a consideration of other significant factors.
Our assessment of the reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction is set out as follows:
- Section 2.3.2 sets out the advantages of the Proposed Transaction to the Shareholders;
- Section 2.3.3 sets out the disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction to the Shareholders;
- Section 2.3.4 sets out discussion of other considerations relevant to the Proposed Transaction;
- Section 2.3.5 sets out the position of the Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction is not approved; and
- Section 2.3.6 provides our opinion on the reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction to the Shareholders.
2.3.2 Advantages of the Proposed Transaction
Table 2.2 below outlines the potential advantages to the Shareholders of approving the Proposed Transaction.
Table 2.2: Potential advantages of the Proposed Transaction
| Advantage | Explanation |
|---|---|
| The Proposed Transaction is Fair | For the reasons summarised in Section 2.2.4 above, the Proposed Transaction is Fair to the Shareholders as at the date of this Report. |
| Expansion to exclusive, perpetual global rights for Photosoft™ | The Proposed Transaction materially strengthens Invion’s intellectual property (‘IP’) position by consolidating Photosoft™ commercialisation rights across the Licensed Indications and materially expanding Invion’s territorial rights for those indications. In particular, geographic constraints are removed for cancer and infectious disease indications, enabling exclusive, perpetual global commercialisation, while rights for atherosclerosis and certain other indications remain unchanged. As a result, the Proposed Transaction materially enhances Invion’s global commercialisation optionality and increases the TAM by an estimated $73.2 billion, representing an approximate 546% uplift. Notwithstanding this expansion, the realisation of value remains dependent on the future progress and success of Invion’s clinical development programs. |
| Removal of legacy co-funding and reimbursement uncertainty | The Proposed Transaction terminates historic co-development and R&D funding arrangements with RMWCG, including the mutual release of all past claims and the extinguishment of the $4.1 million receivable owed to Invion. Under the existing arrangements, Invion’s R&D expenditure and recovery were subject to reimbursement mechanics, timing uncertainty and counterparty performance risk.¹ By settling and extinguishing these legacy obligations, the Proposed Transaction eliminates reliance on RMWCG for future funding, providing greater structural clarity and a more predictable commercial framework for Invion going forward. This does however come with the obligation for Invion to fund, or partner with parties to fund, the R&D requirements going forward. |
| Greater control over development pathways and commercial strategy | Under the Proposed Transaction, Invion secure comprehensive development and commercial rights for Photosoft™ for all Licensed Indications, no longer relying on counterparties for R&D funding decisions. As a result Invion gains greater autonomy over clinical sequencing, market prioritisation and partnering strategy. This may enable the Company to pursue value-maximising pathways (e.g. sublicensing, partnership structures, indication prioritisation) that were constrained under prior agreements. |
| Strategic optionality to sublicense or monetise Photosoft™ as a platform technology | The Proposed Transaction enables Invion to monetise not only Photosoft™-enabled drug candidates but also the Photosoft™ platform technology itself (subject to licence terms). This creates new commercial pathways, including sublicensing in non-core territories or indications, co-development partnerships and technology licensing, which are not available under the current agreements with RMWCG. |
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
| Advantage | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Share-based consideration preserves cash resources | The Proposed Transaction is structured to preserve Invion’s cash reserve ($687k as at 19 February 2026) through the issuance of shares. This allows Invion to maintain cash for R&D activities, clinical programs and corporate overheads, rather than diverting funds toward licence acquisition costs. We note this is common in early-stage clinical companies that are pre-revenue and non-cash generating. |
| Alignment of long-term incentives with Licensor | The scrip-based consideration, milestone-based equity issuances and ongoing royalty arrangements may support better alignment between Invion and the Licensor, as the Licensor’s economic return is contingent on Invion’s long-term performance and the successful development and commercialisation of the Photosoft™ assets, rather than being realised solely upfront and/or for fixed cash consideration. A substantial portion of the equity consideration is deferred and contingent on the achievement of value-accretive clinical milestones, which defers dilution unless genuine value is created. Under the Proposed Transaction, Invion will obtain full ownership and control of IP it develops within its Licensed Indications and has advised that it has the capability to independently advance the clinical development and commercialisation of existing lead compounds (including INV043). The Licensor, as inventor of the Photosoft™ technology, is expected to continue providing background scientific expertise and ad-hoc technical support, particularly in respect of new compound development and patent maintenance activities. The Licensor’s ongoing equity and royalty interests incentivise this support and also encourage the continued development of additional future compounds within the Photosoft™ platform that may be commercialised by Invion under the Licensed Indications. |
Source: BDOCF analysis
1 As disclosed in Invion’s FY25 Annual Report, trade receivables at 30 June 2024 included approximately $4.1 million relating to services performed under the R&D Services Agreement with RMWCG. Due to significant delays in settlement of these amounts and Management’s assessment of RMWCG’s ability to meet its obligations, the Company recognised a provision for bad and doubtful debts. Invion has reported that the recovery of the outstanding receivable may require legal proceedings, with uncertain timing given RMWCG is a foreign entity, and may adversely affect its ongoing relationship with RMWCG, the owner of the Photosoft™ IP. Management advised the receivable has been outstanding for a couple of years and so cash recovery is likely nil in the event of Invion enforcing recovery as a creditor.
2.3.3 Disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction
Table 2.3 below outlines the potential disadvantages to the Shareholders of approving the Proposed Transaction.
Table 2.3: Potential disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction
| Disadvantage | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Equity dilution for existing Shareholders | If the Proposed Transaction is approved and implemented, Invion will issue approximately 36.7 million new shares (in milestone-based tranches). This will dilute existing Shareholders’ interests, with the extent of dilution depending on the milestone achievement and future capital requirements. The initial tranche of shares (12.2 million) represents approximately 12.62% of the shares currently on issue, with further dilution to occur following the Company meeting subsequent clinical milestones (if reached). |
| Increased funding burden and capital requirements | If the Proposed Transaction is approved and implemented, Invion will assume responsibility for substantially all future R&D, clinical development, regulatory, and commercialisation costs. While the expanded rights provide potential for increased value in the event of successful development and commercialisation, any such upside would be realised over time and shared with the Licensor through royalty and revenue-sharing arrangements in particular circumstances (refer to Section 4.4). In addition, the increased scope of Invion’s rights is expected to materially increase future funding requirements, which may necessitate additional capital raisings, partnering arrangements or adjustments to development priorities. Notwithstanding, it should be noted that the Licensor has not paid any funding obligations since 25 September 2023 under the current agreement. |
| Royalty obligations on future commercialisation | If the Proposed Transaction is approved and implemented, Invion will be obligated to pay NGPDT IP an ongoing royalty, applied to net sales and certain licensing revenue. These future payment obligations reduce Invion’s share of economic returns from successful commercialisation and must be considered when assessing long-term value creation. |
| Loss of potential recovery under the historic R&D receivable | Under the Proposed Transaction, Invion agrees to release all claims against RMWCG, including the $4.1 million owed under the R&D Services Agreement. While this removes any potential future recovery associated with that receivable, recovery was uncertain given the delays in settlement and the counterparty risks previously disclosed.^{1}The Directors consider that, in these circumstances, the value obtained through the acquisition of expanded Photosoft™ IP rights under the Proposed Transaction is preferable to the uncertain and potentially protracted recovery of the outstanding receivable from RMWCG. |
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
| Disadvantage | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Increased operational and execution risk from broader rights | If the Proposed Transaction is approved and implemented, the global expansion of rights increases Invion’s scope of responsibility, including management of multi-jurisdictional regulatory pathways, clinical trials across new indications, and broader IP maintenance obligations. Historically, certain development, funding and execution responsibilities were shared with, or undertaken by, RMWCG under the co-development and licensing arrangements. This expanded scope, and subsequent termination and release of all claims under the legacy agreements may strain Invion’s existing resources and capabilities unless supported by future partnerships or funding. |
| For completeness, we note it is not certain that RMWCG could honour any obligations under the current agreements given the Non-Associated directors view that RMWCG is incapable of paying monies owed under the R&D Services Agreement |
Source: BDOCF analysis
1 Refer to Table 2.2 and related footnote, which summarises Invion’s disclosures regarding delays in settlement, the provision for bad and doubtful debts, and the uncertainty associated with recovery of the receivable from RMWCG.
2.3.4 Other considerations
In forming a view on the Proposed Transaction, Shareholders may also have regard to the following broader considerations.
Transition from fragmented licensing to a unified global rights structure
The Proposed Transaction consolidates Invion’s previously fragmented territorial and indication-specific rights into a single, perpetual global licence for Photosoft™ across the Licensed Indications. While this structure simplifies Invion’s operating framework and reduces reliance on legacy agreements, Shareholders should note that realising the full benefit of expanded global rights will depend on Invion’s ability to prioritise indications, determine commercially feasible development pathways, and attract suitable development partners.
Shareholders should consider that the economic benefits associated with global rights, such as potential sublicensing revenue, broader commercial opportunities, and access to larger therapeutic markets, may only emerge over a longer-time horizon and heavily rely on the success of each clinical phase or other milestone.
Opportunity cost associated with equity issuance
The Proposed Transaction is funded partly through the issue of Invion shares, resulting in the allocation of a portion of Invion’s equity value to RMWCG. While this structure preserves cash resources and aligns Licensor incentives with Invion’s long-term development progress, Shareholders should be aware that issuing equity for strategic transactions involves a trade-off.
In effect, Invion is choosing to deploy equity capital toward securing global rights to Photosoft™, rather than preserving that equity for future fundraising, internal R&D initiatives, or other investment or partnership opportunities.
Shift in R&D funding obligations and associated capital requirements
Under the current arrangements, certain R&D costs, particularly within Australia and New Zealand, were to be funded through reimbursement mechanisms involving entities related to RMWCG, with R&D risk historically borne by an Australian related entity. The Proposed Transaction restructures these arrangements, with Invion assuming responsibility for substantially all future development, regulatory and commercialisation expenditure related to Photosoft™.
While the expanded control over Photosoft™ IP may provide Invion with improved strategic flexibility to realise value, Shareholders should recognise that this shift is likely to increase Invion’s medium- to long-term capital requirements. Future clinical programs, expansion into new indications, and regulatory pathways across multiple jurisdictions are expected to require incremental investment, the timing and scale of which will depend on Invion’s development strategy and access to capital markets or partners.
Notwithstanding the above, under the Proposed Transaction Invion will obtain the benefit of applicable R&D tax incentive rebates in respect of eligible R&D expenditure from FY25 onwards. These incentives were previously claimed by an Australian entity related to RMWCG that bore the R&D risk under the former arrangements and may partially offset the increase in cash funding requirements associated with future R&D activities.
Impact of releasing historical claims and receivables
The Proposed Transaction includes the mutual release of all historical claims against RMWCG, including a receivable of approximately $4.1 million previously owed to Invion under the R&D Services Agreement.
The Non-Associated Directors have formed the view that this receivable is not recoverable. This view is based on Invion’s historical experience with RMWCG, including the cessation of reimbursement payments in recent years, the Licensor’s limited financial capacity, and the practical constraints Invion has faced in enforcing its contractual entitlements without adversely impacting the ongoing development of the Photosoft™ technology. Consistent with this assessment, the receivable was fully impaired in Invion’s FY25 annual report, and Management has confirmed that there is no intention to pursue recovery.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
Accordingly, we have not attributed any value to this receivable in our valuation analysis. We consider Invion's observable share trading prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction to already reflect the market's assessment that the receivable has no realisable economic value.
Shareholders should, however, be aware of the materiality of this assumption. If, contrary to the Board's view, the receivable was assumed to be fully recoverable, this would imply an additional value of approximately $4.1 million, equivalent to approximately $0.048 per share based on Invion's undiluted share count of 85.6 million shares (and prior to any consideration of options or other potential dilution). Adoption of such an assumption would increase the implied equity value of Invion pre-transaction and, in turn, raise the fairness threshold against which the Proposed Transaction is assessed.
In forming our conclusions, we have relied on the Board's assessment that the receivable is not collectible and that its release under the Proposed Transaction reflects the commercial reality of Invion's position rather than the relinquishment of a realisable asset.
Dependence on Mr Cho
Prior to the Proposed Transaction, the underlying Photosoft™ IP was owned by RMWCG, including IP developed using Invion-funded R&D. Invion's ability to progress development programs and to enter into broader global commercial arrangements (including in key markets such as the United States and Europe) was therefore structurally dependent on RMWCG and Mr Cho, who retained territorial and ownership rights under the legacy licensing framework.
Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, Invion will obtain exclusive, perpetual global rights within the Licensed Indications and full ownership of IP it develops within those indications. This reduces Invion's structural dependence on RMWCG in respect of territorial scope and commercial strategy. However, Mr Cho, as the inventor of the Photosoft™ technology, is expected to continue to provide technical expertise, particularly in relation to new compound development and maintenance of platform patents.
Invion has advised that, in respect of clinical development and commercialisation of existing lead compounds within its Licensed Indications (including INV043), it retains ownership and control of such programs and could engage alternative scientific advisers or contract research organisations if required. We understand that Invion's internal team and collaborators have been developing their own knowledge and expertise in Photosoft™ technology over the past eight years. Notwithstanding this, no formal succession plan or alternative technical leadership structure has been disclosed, and the feasibility, timing and effectiveness of replicating or replacing Mr Cho's technical involvement remain uncertain.
Accordingly, Shareholders should be aware that Invion remains subject to an ongoing key-person risk in respect of Mr Cho, particularly in relation to platform expansion, patent stewardship and new compound innovation. While the Proposed Transaction reduces structural dependency in certain commercial and territorial respects, it does not eliminate reliance on Mr Cho's technical expertise and that the loss of his involvement could adversely affect the Company's ability to develop, protect and commercialise the Photosoft™ technology, irrespective of whether the Proposed Transaction is approved.
Licensor counterparty risk and ongoing uncertainty
RMWCG, the current licensor of the Photosoft™ technology, is a privately held entity for which there is limited publicly available information regarding its financial position, governance arrangements or operating activities. Invion has advised that it does not have access to reliable information regarding RMWCG's solvency, liquidity or capital position. This limited financial transparency has constrained Invion's ability to independently assess RMWCG's capacity to meet its historical and ongoing contractual obligations, and this position is not expected to materially change following completion of the Proposed Transaction.
Based on historical dealings with RMWCG and Mr Cho, the Board has formed the view that RMWCG does not currently have the financial capacity to meet its outstanding obligations under the R&D Services Agreement. While reimbursement payments were made in earlier periods up to 25 September 2023, those payments ceased and have not resumed. The Board does not expect this position to change in the near term.
Under the former R&D risk-bearing structure, R&D tax incentive ('RDTI') refunds associated with eligible Australian expenditure were legally claimable by, and paid to, entities associated with RMWCG. Invion has sought to negotiate recovery of a portion of those amounts but has not been successful. Accordingly, we have not attributed any value to historical or potential future RDTI amounts that may have been, or may be, received by RMWCG or its related entities.
Invion has also advised that, in practice, it has had limited ability to enforce its contractual entitlements against RMWCG, having regard to cross-border legal processes, the counterparty's financial position and the broader commercial relationship between the parties. As a result, the practical enforceability of Invion's rights has historically been subject to constraints beyond the contractual terms themselves.
While the Proposed Transaction terminates prior agreements and restructures Invion's rights to the Photosoft™ technology, Shareholders should be aware that it does not remove all risks associated with reliance on an opaque licensor counterparty. In particular, the limited transparency surrounding RMWCG's financial capacity and governance, together with Invion's historical experience in seeking to enforce contractual obligations, represents an ongoing structural risk.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
These circumstances, including Invion's practical dependence on cooperation from the Licensor and Mr Cho to develop additional compounds, will continue irrespective of whether the Proposed Transaction is approved.
Shareholders should also note that, to the extent Invion's rights under the Licence Security Agreement or other transaction documents required enforcement in foreign jurisdictions (including Hong Kong), such enforcement may be subject to similar practical, financial and jurisdictional constraints as those encountered in relation to recovery of the outstanding receivable.
2.3.5 Position of the Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction is not approved
Table 2.6 below outlines the potential position of Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction is not approved.
Table 2.6: Position of the Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction is not approved
| Position of Shareholders | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Invion continues under the existing fragmented licensing structure | If the Proposed Transaction is not approved, Invion will continue to operate under the legacy licensing and co-development agreements, which provide limited territorial scope, indication-specific rights and greater dependency on RMWCG. This structure restricts Invion's ability to commercialise Photosoft™ globally and may limit strategic optionality relative to the proposed uniform global licence. |
| No dilution to existing Shareholders | Shareholders who are concerned about dilution may view it favourably that, if the Proposed Transaction does not proceed, Invion will not issue the proposed 36.7 million new shares (noting only one third of these shares will be issued with certainty and the second and third tranche are contingent in milestones being met). Shareholders will maintain their current ownership percentages however remain confined to the addressable market and technology use. |
| However, in the absence of the Proposed Transaction, Invion would continue to operate under the existing legacy agreements pursuant to which RMWCG is responsible for funding certain R&D activities. We note that approximately $4.1 million is currently owed by RMWCG to Invion under these arrangements, and Management has advised that RMWCG do not have the financial capacity to meet these obligations. Accordingly, continuation under the existing arrangement exposes Invion to ongoing reimbursement risk in progressing the Photosoft™ platform and may require Invion to seek alternative funding arrangements, which could result in dilution to Shareholders over time | |
| Reduced future funding burden but continued reliance on legacy arrangements | If the Proposed Transaction is not approved, Invion may retain some protection from R&D co-funding obligations in certain territories under existing agreements. However, in practice, RMWCG has not funded or reimbursed R&D expenditure in recent periods, and the Non-Associated Directors do not expect RMWCG to be in a position to provide such funding on a reliable basis going forward. Continued reliance on RMWCG under the legacy arrangements therefore maintains ongoing counterparty and execution risk, with limited practical mitigation of Invion's future funding requirements. |
| In practical terms, Invion would still be required to fund its development programs largely on a standalone basis, while the economic benefits of any progress achieved would continue to be shared with RMWCG under the existing licensing framework. | |
| Loss of opportunity to secure global development and commercial rights | If the Proposed Transaction is not approved, Invion may lose the opportunity to consolidate Photosoft™ rights globally across the Licensed Indications, limiting its ability to pursue sublicensing, global partnerships or broader commercial strategies. Invion's access to larger therapeutic markets, particularly in the US, Europe and China, could remain constrained under the existing licensing arrangements. |
| Strategic flexibility preserved but with diminished long-term optionality | While Invion would retain flexibility to continue development in its existing territories and indications, the Company may face slower or more limited pathways to unlocking platform-wide value. Alternative negotiations with the Licensor may not yield similarly broad or favourable terms in future. |

2.3.6 Assessment of the reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction
In our opinion, after considering all of the issues set out in this Report, it is our view that, in the absence of any other information or a superior proposal, the Proposed Transaction is Reasonable to the Shareholders as at the date of this Report.
2.4 Opinion
After considering the above assessments, it is our view that, in the absence of any other information, the Proposed Transaction is Fair and Reasonable as at the date of this Report.
Notwithstanding our view above, we note that Invion is an early-stage life sciences company focused on pre-clinical and clinical research and development activities on therapeutic products. In our view, the value of such companies may increase or decrease materially over relatively short time period, depending on the achievement of clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as access to funding and broader market conditions.

BDOCF has not considered the impact of the Proposed Transaction on the particular circumstances of individual Shareholders. Individual Shareholders may place a different emphasis on certain elements of the Proposed Transaction relative to the emphasis placed in this Report. Accordingly, individual Shareholders may reach different conclusions as to whether or not the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable in their individual circumstances.
The decision of an individual Shareholder to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction is likely to be influenced by their particular circumstances and accordingly, the Shareholders are advised to consider their own circumstances and seek their own independent advice.
Voting in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction is a matter for individual Shareholders based on their expectations as to the expected value, future prospects and market conditions together with their particular circumstances, including risk profile, liquidity preference, portfolio strategy and tax position. Shareholders should carefully consider the Notice of Meeting. Shareholders who are in doubt as to the action they should take in relation to the Proposed Transaction should consult their professional adviser.
With respect to the taxation implications of the Proposed Transaction, it is strongly recommended that the Shareholders obtain their own taxation advice, tailored to their own particular circumstances.
3.3 Scope
In this Report we provide our opinion on whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders.
This Report has been prepared at the request of the Directors for the sole benefit of the Shareholders entitled to vote, to assist them in their decision to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction. This Report is to accompany the Notice of Meeting to be sent to the Shareholders to consider the Proposed Transaction and was not prepared for any other purpose. Accordingly, this Report and the information contained herein may not be relied upon by anyone other than the Directors and the Shareholders without our written consent. We accept no responsibility to any person other than the Directors and the Shareholders in relation to this Report.
This Report should not be used for any other purpose, and we do not accept any responsibility for its use outside this purpose. Except in accordance with the stated purpose, no extract, quote or copy of this Report, in whole or in part, should be reproduced without our written consent, as to the form and context in which it may appear.
We have consented to the inclusion of this Report with the Notice of Meeting. Apart from this Report, we are not responsible for the contents of the Notice of Meeting or any other document associated with the Proposed Transaction. We acknowledge that this Report may be lodged with regulatory authorities to obtain the relevant approvals prior to it being made available to the Shareholders.
The scope of procedures we have undertaken has been limited to those procedures required in order to form our opinion. Our procedures did not include verification work nor constitute an audit or assurance engagement in accordance with Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards. In preparing this Report we considered a range of matters, including the necessary legal requirements and guidance of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ('the Corporations Act'), the Corporation Regulations 2001 ('the Regulations'), the regulatory guides ('RGs') published by ASIC, the listing requirements of the relevant exchanges (where relevant) and commercial practice.
In forming our opinion, we have made certain assumptions and outline these in this Report including:
- We have performed our analysis on the basis that the conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction are satisfied;
- That matters such as title to all relevant assets, compliance with laws and regulations and contracts in place are in good standing, and will remain so, and that there are no material legal proceedings, other than as publicly disclosed;
- All information which is material to the Shareholders' decision on the Proposed Transaction has been provided and is complete, accurate and fairly presented in all material respects;
- ASX announcements and other publicly available information relied on by us are accurate, complete and not misleading;
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
- If the Proposed Transaction is approved, that it will be implemented in accordance with the stated terms outlined in the Proposed Transaction;
- The legal mechanism to implement the Proposed Transaction is correct and effective;
- There are no undue changes to the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction or complex issues unknown to us; and
- A range of other assumptions as outlined in this Report have also been adopted in forming our opinion.
In this Report we have not provided any taxation, legal or other advice of a similar nature in relation to the Proposed Transaction. Invion has engaged other advisors in relation to those matters.
Invion has acknowledged that the Company's engagement of BDOCF is as an independent contractor and not in any other capacity, including a fiduciary capacity.
The statements and opinions contained in this Report are given in good faith and are based upon our consideration and assessment of the information provided by the Board, executives and management of all the entities.
3.4 Purpose of this Report
An independent expert, in certain circumstances, must be appointed to meet the requirements set out in the Corporations Act, the Regulations, RGs and in some cases the listing requirements of the relevant exchanges. These requirements have been set out in Sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 below.
3.4.1 Requirements of the Corporations Act
Section 606 of the Corporations Act states that, subject to the exceptions set out in section 611, a 'relevant interest' in issued voting shares in a listed company cannot be increased from 20% or below to more than 20%, or increasing from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%. A 'relevant interest' is broadly defined as an interest giving the holder the power to control the right to vote or dispose of shares.
If the Proposed Transaction is approved, Invion will issue up to 36.7 million fully paid ordinary Invion shares to RMWCG upon achievement of specified milestones (refer to Section 4.5). Following the Proposed Transaction, RMWCG and its associates' relevant interest in Invion could increase from approximately 11.55% up to 38.15% on an undiluted basis upon satisfaction of all milestone-based tranches and approval of Resolution 8. At a minimum, the RMWCG interest will increase to 21.46% on an undiluted basis if the Proposed Transaction completes having regard to the initial tranche. In these circumstances, an exemption from section 606 must be sought under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act.
Item 7 of section 611 allows a party to gain a relevant interest in shares of a public company that would otherwise be prohibited under subsection 606(2) of the Corporations Act if the Proposed Transaction is approved in advance by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company, and:
- No votes are cast in favour of the resolution by any party who is associated with the party acquiring the shares, or by the party acquiring the shares; and
- There was full disclosure of all information known by both the party proposing to make the acquisition, their associates and the company in relation to the transaction which was material to a decision on how to vote on the resolution.
ASIC RG 74: Acquisitions Approved by Members states that the obligation to supply shareholders with all material information can be satisfied by the Directors of Invion by either:
- Undertaking a detailed examination of the Proposed Transaction themselves, if they consider that they have sufficient expertise; or
- Commissioning an independent expert's report.
We have been requested to prepare this independent expert's report to provide additional information to the Shareholders to assist them to form a view on whether to vote in favour of or against the Proposed Transaction.
3.4.2 Listing requirements
ASX Listing Rule 10.1 states that an entity must ensure that neither it, nor any of its subsidiaries, acquires a substantial asset from, or disposes of a substantial asset to, a substantial holder or a related party without the approval of non-associated shareholders.
ASX Listing Rule 10.2 defines an asset as substantial if its value or the consideration for it is, or in ASX's opinion is, 5% or more of the value of the equity interests of the entity, as set out in the latest accounts given to the ASX in accordance with the ASX listing rules ('Substantial Asset'). Based on ASX Listing Rule 10.1.3, a substantial holder is a person who has relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the six months before the transaction, in at least 10% of the voting power of the company ('Substantial Holder').
According to ASX Listing Rule 19, the definition of 'acquire' includes increasing an economic interest.
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.5, where shareholder approval is sought for the purpose of complying with ASX Listing Rule 10.1, the notice of meeting distributed to shareholders in relation to the transaction must include a report prepared
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
by an independent expert, which states the expert’s opinion as to whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders.
Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 is required before the Company can proceed with the Proposed Transaction because:
- An asset worth more than 5% of a listed entity’s equity book value is being sold to or acquired from a related party as per ASX Listing Rule 10; and
- The issuing or transferring of securities where an acquirer’s interest moves between 20% and 90% and no permissible exceptions exist as per section 611 of the Corporations Act.
3.5 Current market conditions
Our opinion and the analysis set out in this Report is based on economic, commodity, market and other conditions prevailing at the date of this Report. Such conditions can change significantly over relatively short periods of time and may have a material impact on the results presented in this Report and result in any valuation or other opinion becoming quickly outdated and in need of revision.
In circumstances where we become aware of and believe that a change in these conditions, prior to the Meeting, results in a material statement in this Report becoming misleading, deceptive or resulting in a material change in valuation, we will provide supplementary disclosure to Invion. BDOCF is not responsible for updating this Report following the Meeting or in the event that a change in prevailing circumstance does not meet the above conditions.
3.6 Reliance on information
Invion recognises and confirms that, in preparing this Report, except to the extent to which it is unreasonable to do so, BDOCF, BDO Services Pty Ltd or any of the partners, directors, agents or associates (together ‘BDO Persons’), will be using and relying on publicly available information and on data, material and other information furnished to BDO Persons by Invion, its management, and other parties, and may assume and rely upon the accuracy and completeness of, and is not assuming any responsibility for independent verification of, such publicly available information and the other information so furnished.
Unless the information we are provided suggests the contrary, we have assumed that the information provided was reliable, complete and not misleading, and material facts were not withheld. The information provided was evaluated through analysis and inquiry for the purpose of forming an opinion as to whether or not the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable.
We do not warrant that our inquiries have identified or verified all of the matters which an audit, extensive examination or due diligence investigation might disclose. In any event, an opinion as to whether a corporate transaction is fair and reasonable is in the nature of an overall opinion rather than an audit or detailed investigation.
It is understood that the accounting information provided to us was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Where we relied on the views and judgement of management, the information was evaluated through analysis and inquiry to the extent practical. Where we have relied on publicly available information, we have considered the source of the information and completed our own analysis to assist us to determine the accuracy of the information we have relied on. However, in many cases the information we have relied on is often not capable of external verification or validation and on that basis we provide no opinion or assurance on the information.
The Directors represent and warrant to us for the purpose of this Report, that all information and documents furnished by Invion (either by Management directly or through its advisors) in connection or for use in the preparation of this Report do not contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein. We have received representations from the Directors in relation to the completeness and accuracy of the information provided to us for the purpose of this Report.
Under the terms of our engagement, Invion has agreed to indemnify BDO Persons against any claim, liability, loss or expense, costs or damage, arising out of reliance on any information or documentation provided, which is false or misleading or omits any material particulars, or arising from failure to supply relevant documentation or information.

3.9 APES 225 Valuation Services
This assignment is a Valuation Engagement as defined by Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board professional standard APES 225 Valuation Services ('APES 225'). A Valuation Engagement is defined by APES 225 as 'an Engagement or Assignment to perform a Valuation and provide a Valuation Report where the Valuer is free to employ the Valuation Approaches, Valuation Methods, and Valuation Procedures that a reasonable and informed third party would perform taking into consideration all the specific facts and circumstances of the Engagement or Assignment available to the Valuer at that time.'
This Valuation Engagement has been undertaken in accordance with the requirements set out in APES 225.
3.10 Forecast information
Any forecast financial information referred to in this Report has originated from Management and is adopted by the Directors in order to provide us with a guide to the potential financial performance of Invion. There is a considerable degree of subjective judgement involved in preparing forecasts since they relate to event(s) and transaction(s) that have not yet occurred and may not occur. Actual results are likely to be different from the forecast financial information since anticipated event(s) or transaction(s) frequently do not occur as expected and the variation between actual results and those forecast may be material.
The Directors' best-estimate assumptions on which the forecast is based relate to future event(s) and/or transaction(s) that Management expect to occur and actions that Management expect to take and are also subject to uncertainties and contingencies, which are often outside the control of Invion. Evidence may be available to support the Directors' best-estimate assumptions on which the forecast is based however, such evidence is generally future-oriented and therefore speculative in nature. In certain circumstances, we may adjust the forecast assumptions provided by management to complete our valuation work. In this instance, the forecasts we have adopted for our valuation work will not be the same as the forecasts provided by Management.
BDOCF cannot and does not provide any assurance that any forecast is representative of results or outcomes that will actually be achieved. While we have considered the forecast information to the extent we considered necessary to complete the analysis set out in this Report, we have not been engaged to provide any form of assurance conclusion on any forecast information set out in this Report. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report, or on any forecast to which it relates, for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared. We have assumed, and relied on representations from certain members of Management, that all material information concerning the prospects and proposed operations of Invion has been disclosed to us and that the information provided to us for the purpose of our work is true, complete and accurate in all respects. We have no reason to believe that those representations are false.

PART II: INFORMATION SUPPORTING OUR OPINION ON THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
4.0 Overview of the Proposed Transaction
This section sets out an overview of the Proposed Transaction and is structured as follows:
- Section 4.1 provides a brief description of the Proposed Transaction;
- Section 4.2 describes the key parties involved in the Proposed Transaction;
- Section 4.3 summarises the conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction;
- Section 4.4 outlines the consideration and key commercial terms of the Proposed Transaction; and
- Section 4.5 details the rationale for the Proposed Transaction.
This section is a summary only and should not be treated as a complete description of the Proposed Transaction. The Shareholders should refer to the Notice of Meeting and any subsequent disclosures for additional information relating to the Proposed Transaction and the key parties involved.
4.1 Summary of the Proposed Transaction
On 3 December 2025, Invion announced it had entered into a set of binding agreements to secure perpetual, exclusive global rights to the Photosoft™ PDT technology across a materially expanded suite of oncology, infectious disease, ophthalmology, periodontal and veterinary indications ('the Proposed Transaction').
Under the Proposed Transaction, Invion will obtain the exclusive global rights to develop, manufacture, commercialise and sub-licence Photosoft™ within the agreed indications. In consideration, Invion will issue up to 36.7 million ordinary shares to RMWCG, issued in tranches linked to defined development milestones, together with downstream economic participation in the form of royalties. The arrangements supersede all prior contractual relationships between Invion and RMWCG.
The Proposed Transaction is documented through:
- A Licence Agreement with NGPDT IP, which will become the ultimate licensor of the Photosoft™ IP ('the Licence Agreement');
- A Licence Security Agreement with RMWCG, providing an interim licence pending the completion of an IP transfer from RMWCG to NGPDT IP ('the Licence Security Agreement'); and
- The termination and mutual release of all existing agreements between Invion and RMWCG.
In addition to the proposed share consideration, Invion will pay NGPDT IP a royalty of 10% on future net sales it receives from third parties for the sale of Photosoft™ drug products, and 20% of income received from the sub-licensing of Photosoft™ IP to external third parties. For further details regarding the revenue sharing arrangement between Invion and NGPDT IP under the License Agreement, refer to Appendix C.
Completion is subject to Shareholder approval and other conditions precedent outlined in Section 4.3.
4.2 Description of the key parties involved in the Proposed Transaction
This section is a summary based on information set out in the Notice of Meeting. Shareholders should refer to Section 1.5 of the Notice of Meeting for further information.
4.2.1 Invion
Invion is a clinical stage life-sciences (drug development) company progressing the Photosoft™ PDT platform across multiple clinical programs, including oncology, atherosclerosis and infectious disease. Invion holds responsibility for global R&D, regulatory advancement and commercial strategy for Photosoft™. Further information in relation to Invion is set out in Section 5.
4.2.2 NGPDT IP Holdings Pty Ltd
NGPDT IP is a newly established Australian entity and is an affiliate of RMWCG under common control of Mr Michael Honsue Cho ('Mr Cho'), the founder and inventor of Photosoft™. RMWCG will transfer ownership of all IP rights in the Photosoft™ technology to NGPDT IP within 12 months of the Proposed Transaction. Once the IP transfer is complete, NGPDT IP becomes the exclusive licensor to Invion under the Proposed Transaction.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
4.2.3 RMW Cho Group Limited
RMWCG is the current licensor of the Photosoft™ technology and will grant the initial licence under the Licence Security Agreement until IP ownership transitions to NGPDT IP. As part of the Proposed Transaction, RMWCG and Invion will terminate all prior agreements and release all claims, including previous R&D reimbursement arrangements.
RMWCG is an independent, privately held company based in Hong Kong. While limited public information is available, RMWCG’s company website indicates that its primary activities involve the following¹:
- The acquisition and holding of proprietary technologies and exclusive licences, principally for applications in medicine, energy and environmental science;
- The development and commercialisation of its exclusive technology portfolio, usually through partnerships exterior parties (such as Invion);
- The facilitation of capital raisings with its selected partners in order to fund research; and
- The assisting of clients with sourcing products for import and export to China and broader global markets, though this comprises a small portion of RMWCG’s business.
RMWCG was incorporated in 2012 and is controlled by Mr Cho.
Based on the information provided to Invion, including longstanding discussions and historical dealings with Mr Cho, the Invion Board has formed the view that RMWCG does not currently have the financial capacity to meet ongoing R&D reimbursement obligations under the prior arrangements. While RMWCG has made reimbursement payments historically, the cessation of payments in recent years and subsequent discussions were considered by the Invion Board in assessing the appropriateness of restructuring the funding arrangements under the Proposed Transaction.
We note the Invion Board does not expect this position to change in the near term.
4.2.4 RMWC Pty Ltd
RMWC Pty Ltd is an Australian private company that acts as trustee of RMWC Family Trust. Mr Cho is the sole director, company secretary and shareholder of RMWC Pty Ltd.
4.2.5 Michael Honsue Cho
Mr Cho, founder of the Photosoft™ technology and director of RMWCG, has provided a personal guarantee securing NGPDT IP’s and RMWCG’s obligations under the Licence Security Agreement, including during the interim period prior to the completion of the transfer of legal ownership of Photosoft™ IP to NGPDT IP and in connection with any assignment of the licensed rights under the agreement. This provides Invion with increased contractual recourse and certainty during the IP transfer process and related transitional arrangements.
Through his control of RMWCG and ownership of the rights to Photosoft™, the Non-Associated Directors consider that Invion’s relationship with Mr Cho has historically been, and remains, critical to the success of Invion’s commercialisation strategy noting that Mr Cho currently serves as Head of Research and Development at Invion, further underscoring his ongoing and integral role in the Company.
The Non-Associated Directors were mindful of Mr Cho being critical to the success of Invion when negotiating the Proposed Transaction. The Non-Associated Directors also considered that enforcement alternatives to the Proposed Transaction for the receivable from RMWCG were limited as ongoing support is needed from Mr Cho for Invion to realise value from the rights it holds to the Photosoft™ IP.
4.2.6 Associates
Mr Thian Chew, the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chair of Invion, is not a party to the Transaction Documents but is an associate of NGPDT IP and RMWCG for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules, arising from his role as Managing Partner of Polar Ventures Limited ('Polar Ventures'). Polar Ventures is an associate of RMWCG under section 12(2) of the Corporations Act, and pursuant to a consultancy arrangement under which Polar Ventures provides advice and support for RMWCG’s interests in its investment in Invion (albeit Polar has not received any cash payments from RMWCG for several years). Figure 4.1 sets out this relationship below.

1 Red blocks denote a key party to the Proposed Transaction and grey blocks denote associates to the key parties. We note this figure is to illustrate the relationship between the associates Thian Chew and Polar Ventures with the key parties and does not include the complete list of associates and key parties.
Notwithstanding the above, Mr Thian Chew’s associate relationship arises primarily from historical involvement and disclosure considerations, and does not reflect any current equity ownership, funding support or ongoing economic dependence with RMWCG.
The associates of NGPDT IP also include RMWCG, RMWC Pty Ltd, Polar Ventures and Mr Cho, through common control, direct or indirect shareholdings and historical commercial and governance relationships. While these entities and individuals are not all counterparties to the Transaction Documents, their association is relevant for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 10.1 and 10.11, the aggregation of voting power and the application of voting exclusions under the Notice of Meeting.
For completeness, Mr Thian Chew has abstained from approving or executing the terms sheets and Transaction Documents.
4.3 Key conditions of the Proposed Transaction
The Proposed Transaction is subject to certain conditions that are set out in full in the Licence Agreement and summarised in the Notice of Meeting. In summary, these include:
- ASX providing all necessary approvals and confirmations to allow Invion to proceed with the Proposed Transaction;
- The required shareholder resolutions being passed at the Meeting in relation to the Proposed Transaction and in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 10.1 and/or 10.11 and for the purpose of section 611(7) of the Corporations Act; and
- Invion obtaining the Independent Expert’s Report for the purpose of the Listing Rule 10.1 and section 611(7) of the Corporations Act and the Independent Expert opining that the Proposed Transaction is ‘fair and reasonable’ or ‘not fair but reasonable’ to Shareholders for the purpose of ASX Listing Rules 10.1 and section 611(7) of the Corporations Act.
We recommend that Shareholders consider all conditions of the Proposed Transaction set out in the Notice of Meeting.
We note that, as at the date of this Report, the conditions precedent have not been satisfied, but will be if the Proposed Transaction is approved.
4.4 Consideration and key commercial terms of the Proposed Transaction
4.4.1 Milestone Based Share Consideration
Invion will issue up to 36,705,966 fully paid ordinary shares to RMWCG, in three tranches tied to clinical development milestones:
- 12,235,322 on satisfaction of all condition’s precedent outlined in Section 4.3 above;
- 12,235,322 upon first-patient dosing in an IND-enabled Phase II clinical trial for any licensed oncology indication; and
- 12,235,322 upon first-patient dosing in either:
- A Phase II IND-enabled clinical trial for a second licenced oncology indication, or
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
- A Phase III / pivotal IND-enabled trial for any licensed oncology indication.
All consideration shares will be subject to 12-month escrow from their respective issue dates.
Refer to Appendix C for further information on each of the milestones applicable the respective tranches of the Consideration Shares.
4.4.2 Expansion of licensed indications and territories
Under the License Agreement Invion will receive a material expansion to the indications and territories ('Licensed Territories') under which Invion is licensed to develop and commercialise. Table 4.1 below summarises the expansion of Licensed Indication and Licensed Territory scope under the License Agreement.
Table 4.1: Licensed Indications and Licensed Territories
| Licensed indications | Licensed Territories (Pre-Proposed Transaction) | Licensed Territories (Post-Proposed Transaction) |
|---|---|---|
| Cancer | ||
| Anogenital (including without limitation cancers of the anus, vagina, vulva, penis and cervix) | ANZ, Cancer Territories^{1} | Global |
| Lung | ANZ, Cancer Territories | Global |
| Oesophageal | ANZ, Cancer Territories | Global |
| Non-melanoma skin cancer ('NMSC') | ANZ, Cancer Territories | Global |
| Nasopharyngeal carcinoma | ANZ, Cancer Territories | Global |
| Oral carcinoma | ANZ, Cancer Territories | Global |
| Brain | ANZ, Cancer Territories | Global |
| All animal cancers (including all above listed cancers) | Nil | Global |
| Infectious disease | ||
| Human Papilloma Virus ('HPV') | AID Territories^{2}, USA, Canada, Hong Kong | Global |
| Periodontal | AID Territories, USA, Canada, Hong Kong | Global |
| Non-cancer eye diseases | Nil | Global |
| Atherosclerosis and Other Infectious Diseases ('AID') | ||
| Atherosclerosis | AID Territories^{3} | AID Territories^{3} |
| Except as set out above, infectious diseases (including viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic) | AID Territories, USA, Canada, Hong Kong | AID Territories, USA, Canada, Hong Kong |
Source: License Agreement, Legacy Agreements, Management Information, BDOCF analysis
1 Cancer Territories are comprised of the Asia-Pacific ('APAC') region, excluding Greater China, Japan, Macau and Taiwan ('Cancer Territories')
2 AID Territories are comprised of the APAC region, excluding China, Russia, Macau, Taiwan and the Middle East. Refer to Invion's ASX announcement dated 3 December 2025 for the full list of AID Territories ('AID Territories')
3 Under both the legacy arrangements and Licence Agreement, Invion holds an option, exercisable at their discretion, to expand the licensed territory for atherosclerosis to include the US, Canada, and Hong Kong, in exchange for a payment of $1.0 million to RMWCG. Management have advised that the option does not have an expiry date and that Invion does not currently intend to undertake R&D in atherosclerosis over the next 12-months.
Having regard to Table 4.1 above, we note that following the Proposed Transaction:
- Invion will have rights to develop and commercialise Photosoft™-dependent drugs for the licensed cancer territories globally, expanded from the previous list of cancer territories. Further, Invion will have rights to all animal cancer indications, whereas prior to the Proposed Transaction, Invion was not licensed to use Photosoft™ IP for these cancers;
- Invion will have rights to develop and commercialise Photosoft™-dependent drugs for HPV and Periodontal diseases globally, expanded from its limitations to AID territories, US, Canada and Hong Kong, pre-Proposed Transaction;
- Invion's rights to develop and commercialise Photosoft™-dependent drugs for atherosclerosis indications will remain unchanged. We note that in a 2023 agreement, Invion acquired an option to expand Licensed Territories for atherosclerosis indications to the US, Canada and Hong Kong for consideration of $1.0 million, and this option is included under the Licence Agreement. As at the date of this Report, Invion has not exercised this option, and does not intend to in the near term; and
- Licensed territories for other infectious disease indications will remain unchanged following implementation of the Proposed Transaction, as these indications do not form a core part of Invion's commercial strategy.
For a more detailed summary of the License Agreement, refer to Appendix C.

4.4.3 Changes in economic arrangements
Under the License Agreement, the Proposed Transaction will result in material changes to the economic arrangements between RMWCG/NGPDT IP and Invion, as summarised in Table 4.2 below.
Table 4.2: Economic arrangements between RMWCG/NGPDT IP and Invion
| Area | Pre-Proposed Transaction | Post-Proposed Transaction |
|---|---|---|
| R&D funding | • RMWCG funds 100% of cancer indication research and development expenditure in ANZ | |
| • For R&D in other Licensed Territories and across other Licensed Indications, RMWCG reimburses 75% of non-clinical, and 25% of clinical activities | ||
| • Notwithstanding the above, RMWCG have not honoured their obligations for funding for some time | • NGPDT IP conducts and funds all drug discovery expenditure up to lead compound identification, and chemistry manufacturing and controls ('CMC') of the lead compound | |
| • All further development and drug product manufacturing will be funded by Invion, or counterparties in external agreements | ||
| Revenue sharing | • Pre-Proposed Transaction, Invion’s agreements with RMWCG are royalty-free within Invion’s licensed territories, however Invion did not hold global rights and was not entitled to participate in any revenues generated outside of those territories. | |
| • No further revenue or profit-sharing arrangement with RMWCG. Any funds previously paid by Invion to RMWCG were in the form of consideration for expanded rights | • NGPDT IP will receive a 10% royalty from the net sales of completed, licensed drug products, subject to patent status in the respective territory | |
| • Revenue generated from the sale of batches of unfinished drug products will be shared based on the funding input from either party for the respective batch | ||
| Sublicensing and One-Time payments | • Pre-Proposed Transaction, Invion’s sublicensing rights are limited with the substantial majority of economic value from global rights going to RMWCG | • Invion must pay Licensor 20% of (i) upfront and milestone payments and (ii) royalties received from sublicensees. |
| • The 20% participation also applies to consideration received by Invion from the assignment or sale of a licensed product to third parties (i.e. M&A or analogous transactions), subject to contractual exclusions (e.g. capital raisings, research funding, sale of any compound which incorporates, is based on, or uses Photosoft™ technology, including without limitation INV043). |
Source: License Agreement, Legacy Agreements, Management Information, BDOCF analysis
Having regard to Table 4.2 above, we note that the arrangements under the License Agreement following the Proposed Transaction are reflective of an expectation that Invion will continue to develop drugs using the Photosoft™ technology to the point of bringing complete, licensed products to market.
In legacy agreements, there has been little focus on providing compensation to RMWCG beyond consideration paid in exchange for additional rights (expanded Licensed Indications, Licensed Territories). Conversely, the introduction of royalty payments under the License Agreement is reflective of the expectation (from both NGPDT IP and Invion), that Invion will be able to commercialise and subsequently generate revenue from the sale of drugs, developed using the Photosoft™ technology.
Under the economic arrangements of Invion’s legacy agreements with RMWCG, RMWCG has historically been Invion’s primary source of income, providing funding to support Invion’s R&D. In FY25, however, Invion did not receive any income from RMWCG and wrote off the full $4.1 million receivable balance (refer Table 5.8). Under the Licence Agreement, any outstanding funding obligations from RMWCG will be released, with any future funding to be provided strictly in accordance with the terms of the Licence Agreement, as summarised in Table 4.2 above.
Further, we note that Invion will assume responsibility for a greater portion of R&D expenditure for drug, without funding from RMWCG/NGPDT IP. Notwithstanding this, we note that Invion Management have advised that funding and development agreements with third parties (e.g. Hanlim and Dr.inB, as detailed in Section 5.1.5) will remain a core part of Invion’s commercial strategy in the near to mid-term.
For further details of economic arrangements under the License Agreement, refer to Appendix C, and for a timeline overview of Invion’s historical agreements with RMWCG, refer to Section 5.1.4.
4.5 Rationale for the Proposed Transaction
The Non-associated Directors of Invion are of the view that the Proposed Transaction is in the best interests of Invion and the Shareholders. The reasons for the Directors support in favour of the Proposed Transaction are set out in the Notice of Meeting and include:
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
- The Proposed Transaction grants Invion perpetual, exclusive global rights to the Photosoft™ technology, unlocking its worldwide commercial and clinical potential and allowing Invion to build shareholder value from its expanded clinical program pipeline and addressable market;
- The licensed indications were selected by the Directors for their attractive, addressable markets and/or urgent unmet medical need, including multiple oncology, infectious disease, periodontal, ophthalmic and animal health conditions, several of which present opportunities for US FDA Orphan Drug Designation offering potential financial incentives, accelerated pathways and exclusivity protections;
- Invion will retain all data and IP from drug development through commercialisation;
- The Proposed Transaction establishes a strengthened and secure licensing framework, including termination of all prior agreements between Invion and RMWCG and the entry into a new Licence Agreement and interim Licence Security Agreements, supported by a personal guarantee from Mr Cho;
- In agreeing to release all claims against RMWCG, including amounts outstanding under the prior R&D Services Agreement, the Non-associated Directors have had regard to the uncertainty surrounding recovery of those amounts, and consider that the release reflects a pragmatic assessment of limited recoverability rather than the relinquishment of value that would otherwise be reasonably expected to be realised; and
- The milestone-based share consideration structure and royalty arrangement aligns Licensor incentives with Invion’s long-term value, requiring no upfront cash payment, and preserves Invion’s financial resources for advancing its clinical development program.

5.0 Background of Invion
This section is set out as follows:
- Section 5.1 provides an overview and background information on Invion;
- Section 5.2 summarises the corporate structure of Invion;
- Section 5.3 summarises the equity structure of Invion;
- Section 5.4 summarises the share market trading in Invion shares; and
- Section 5.5 summarises the historical financial information of Invion.
5.1 Overview
5.1.1 Overview of Invion
Invion (ASX: IVX) is a life sciences company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, focused on the research, development, and commercialization of novel photodynamic therapy ('PDT)' solutions. The company's flagship technology platform is Photosoft™ ('Photosoft™'), a next-generation PDT system designed for the treatment of various cancers, infectious diseases, and atherosclerosis. Invion's strategic vision centres on leveraging the unique properties of Photosoft™ to address unmet medical needs globally, particularly in areas where traditional treatments are either ineffective or present significant side effects.
5.1.2 Invion product history
Invion's initial focus was on the development of drugs to treat primarily respiratory and autoimmune diseases, before pivoting to oncology in 2017 in partnership with RMWCG. Since its inception in 2000, Invion has explored hundreds of drug molecules, culminating in three flagship compounds, including:
Legacy Assets:
- INV102: INV102 was Invion's former lead development asset during its earlier focus on respiratory disease. The compound was based on nadolol, an existing drug that Invion investigated for potential use in asthma and related airway conditions. INV102 was progressed to multiple Phase II studies across a number of chronic respiratory illnesses, with the most recent one being completed in April 2016.
- INV104: INV104 was a second respiratory program developed alongside INV102 and reflected Invion's broader effort to build a pipeline of airway disease treatments. The asset was based on zafirlukast, a drug already approved for asthma, with Invion's strategy focused on developing an alternative delivery approach to improve its clinical profile. INV104 remained at an earlier stage of development than INV102 and was supported by formulation work and intellectual property arrangements rather than advanced clinical trials.
- In 2019, Invion completed a full spin-out of the INV102 and INV104 assets into a new entity, Chronic Airway Therapeutics ('CAT'). CAT would subsequently pursue further clinical trials with the two drugs.
Photosoft™ Assets:
- INV043: INV043 is Invion's current lead drug candidate, and the active pharmaceutical ingredient underpinning its Photosoft™ PDT program. Unlike Invion's earlier programs, INV043 is closely integrated with a proprietary technology platform rather than being a repurposing of an existing drug. INV043 is currently in Phase I/II trials across a number of cancers indications.
- While INV043 is Invion's lead drug candidate, targeted towards cancer indications, the Company is also developing other drug molecules dependent on Photosoft™ technology to target infectious disease, atherosclerosis, and animal cancers (in the event that the Proposed Transaction is completed).
5.1.3 Photosoft™ technology
Photosoft™ was originally developed by Mr. Cho and RMWCG as part of their long-standing research focus on PDT and light-activated cancer treatments. The technology emerged from RMWCG's work in identifying and refining novel photosensitising compounds designed to selectively accumulate in cancer cells and be activated by specific wavelengths of light to induce targeted tumour cell destruction.
Through its various agreements with RMWCG, Photosoft™ is Invion's proprietary PDT platform, developed as a next-generation alternative to earlier PDT systems. The technology is based on a chlorin-based photosensitiser compound, currently led by the INV043 formulation, which accumulates in abnormal tissue and is activated by light at a specific wavelength. Once activated in the presence of oxygen, the compound generates reactive oxygen species that cause cell death in the targeted area. The effect is localised to where light is applied, limiting damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

5.1.4 Agreements with the RMW Cho Group
In 2017, Invion entered into a strategic partnership with RMWCG, through which it progressively acquired expanded rights to develop and commercialise drug compounds (such as INV043) using Photosoft™ technology across a range of disease indications and territories under several agreements with RMWCG. An overview of Invion’s historical agreements with RMWCG is set out below.
FY18: Initial Photosoft™ Commercialisation Licence
Cancer indications
- In FY18, Invion first acquired the rights to Photosoft™ from RMWCG for $5.5 million. Under the initial commercialisation agreement, Invion became the exclusive licensee in Australia and New Zealand for the use of Photosoft™ in cancer treatment. RMWCG agreed to fund all research and clinical development in these territories under an R&D services agreement, with Invion invoicing RMWCG for all R&D costs incurred.
FY22: Execution of the co-development agreement and related exclusive distribution and license agreements
In FY22, Invion formalised a broader strategic collaboration with RMWCG through a co-development agreement and associated exclusive licence and distribution arrangements. These arrangements expanded Invion’s IP rights and introduced a cost-sharing framework to support development of the Next Generation Photodynamic Therapy ('NG-PDT') platform.
AID indications
- RMWCG granted Invion exclusive rights to use Photosoft™ IP, including all improvements and inventions, and exclusive right to manufacture, distribute and commercialise AID products within defined territories. Invion paid $2.25 million to RMWCG as consideration toward historical R&D costs.
Cancer indications
- Invion further contributed $5.0 million to RMWCG for the historical costs incurred in developing Photosoft™ for cancer applications. In return, Invion secured exclusive rights to Photosoft™ IP for cancer indications within the defined cancer territory, rights to develop the IP, and exclusive distribution rights for related products and procedures.
FY23: Second amended and restated co-development agreement
In FY23, the co-development agreement was expanded to cover additional therapeutic territories and grant Invion enhanced commercial rights over the Photosoft™ technology in return for consideration of $2.5 million. The FY23 expansion granted Invion an exclusive license to use Photosoft™ for infectious disease indications, and exclusive distribution rights for infectious disease indications in the US, Canada and Mexico.
FY24: Cancer territory expansion, perpetual royalty-free license and sublicensing rights
In FY24, Invion paid a further $0.9 million consideration to RMWCG, and gained an exclusive, perpetual, royalty free license to distribute cancer drugs dependent on Photosoft™ IP in an expanded territory, now including South Korea. Further, Invion received sub-licensing rights to Photosoft™ IP.
5.1.5 Other agreements
Outside of its extensive agreement history with RMWCG, Invion has several agreements with other parties. Management has indicated that their business model following the success of the Proposed Transaction will rely on funding and manufacturing support from strategic partnerships, in exchange for rights to Photosoft™ IP. Current agreements significant to Invion’s operations include the following:
Hanlim Pharma Co., Ltd. ('Hanlim'): Pre-clinical development collaboration
Invion has an active collaboration agreement with Hanlim under which Hanlim funds and undertakes pre-clinical proof-of-concept studies using Invion’s Photosoft™ technology. The collaboration initially focused on glioblastoma multiforme and was subsequently expanded to include oesophageal cancer, as disclosed in FY25. Under the arrangement, Hanlim bears the full cost and operational responsibility for the pre-clinical work and, in return, gains early access to the Photosoft™ technology and the resulting data in its target indications. Invion retains ownership of the Photosoft™ technology, and any new intellectual property generated, with any future commercial or territorial rights for Hanlim subject to separate negotiation.
We note that, notwithstanding Invion’s retention of Photosoft™ IP rights, the arrangements position Hanlim as a potential counterparty for any future commercial or territorial arrangements. Hanlim’s funding exposure is further reduced by the non-dilutive support secured from the Korea Drug Development Fund, as announced by Invion to the ASX in December 2025.
Protect Animal Health Inc. ('Protect'): Companion animal oncology collaboration
In October 2025, Invion announced that it had entered into a collaboration agreement with Protect, a Taiwanese veterinary pharmaceutical company, to evaluate Photosoft™ for the treatment of cancer in companion animals.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
Under the agreement, Protect will fund and undertake in vitro, in vivo and companion animal studies using selected Photosoft™ compounds supplied by Invion. Invion will retain all rights to the Photosoft™ technology, and any new intellectual property developed under the collaboration.
If the evaluation studies are successful, the parties may enter into a subsequent co-development agreement governing further development and commercialisation in the companion animal market.
We note that this collaboration represents an expansion of the Photosoft™ platform beyond human therapeutic indications into veterinary oncology. The arrangement is consistent with Invion’s strategy leveraging strategic partnerships to access new markets and secure non-dilutive funding to progress its technology.
Dr I&B Co., Ltd. ('Dr.inB'): HPV development collaboration
Invion has entered into a collaboration agreement with Dr.inB for the development of Photosoft™ in the treatment of human papillomavirus ('HPV'). Under the agreement, Dr.inB is responsible for funding development activities up to and including proof-of-concept human clinical trials, while Invion supplies the relevant Photosoft™ compounds. In exchange, Dr.inB obtains the right to develop and evaluate Photosoft™ in HPV indications and to access resulting clinical data, positioning it as a potential future commercial partner. Invion retains all rights to the Photosoft™ technology and any associated intellectual property, with commercialisation arrangements to be determined under any subsequent agreement.
IDT Australia Limited ('IDT') - Good Manufacturing Practices ('GMP') manufacturing partnership
Invion has engaged IDT Australia Limited as a manufacturing partner for the production of its INV043 drug substance. This collaboration supports the successful production of INV043 to GMP standards, enabling Invion’s progression into Phase I clinical trials. While the arrangement was project-specific rather than a broad commercial alliance, IDT remains an important enabling partner in Invion’s clinical development pathway.
The Lind Partners (via Lind Global Fund II, LP) ('Lind Partners') - Equity funding arrangement
Invion entered into equity funding arrangements with Lind Partners in June 2024, providing the Company with access to staged capital through an initial investment and a series of monthly share subscriptions, subject to agreed pricing and volume mechanics. The arrangements were designed to provide ongoing funding flexibility rather than a single capital raise, with drawdowns occurring over time at prices determined by reference to market conditions and subject to floor protections.
As at December 2025, the Lind Partners facility had been fully repaid, and Invion Management has advised that it does not plan to enter further funding arrangements with Lind Partners. For further information relating to Invion’s capital activity with Lind Partners, refer to Section 8.
5.1.6 Invion corporate history
Table 5.1 below provides an overview of Invion’s corporate history since its incorporation in 2000.
Table 5.1: Invion’s corporate history
| Period | Event |

| 2016 | Invion begins evaluating the sale or out-licensing of respiratory assets in readiness for a strategic pivot. |
| 2017 | Invion first announced a strategic alliance with RMWCG in April 2017, which included an equity injection and a board restructure. |
| 2018 | Invion also explicitly recognised that legacy drugs (INV102 and INV104) would be marketed for out-licensing. Invion shareholders approved the initial distribution and license agreement with RMWCG for Photosoft™ technology. We note under the R&D Service Agreement RMWCG would reimburse R&D expenses incurred by Invion, and Invion would be granted rights to Photosoft™ technology in Australia and New Zealand. Invion subsequently purchased the commercialisation license for $5.5 million, partially funded by a $2.5 million capital raise. |
| 2019 | Invion fully spun out INV102 and INV104 assets to Chronic Airway Therapeutics¹ in February 2019, fully transitioning to oncology-focused R&D. |
| 2021 | Invion selected a new active pharmaceutical agreement (INV043), following success among tumour regressions in multiple tumour types.

5.4.2 Liquidity of Invion shares on the ASX
The rate at which equity instruments are traded is generally referred to as the 'liquidity' of the equity instruments. Changes in liquidity may impact the trading price of equity instruments. This is particularly dependent on the number of equity instruments required to be bought and/or sold and the time period over which the equity instrument holder needs to buy and/or sell those equity instruments. Depending on the circumstances, a movement in market price may or may not represent a shift in value of either the equity instruments or a shift in value of the company to which the equity instruments relate as a whole.
Table 5.8 summarises the monthly liquidity of Invion shares from 1 December 2024 to 3 January 2026, with December 2025 split into pre-announcement (1-2 December) and post-announcement (3 December 2025 - 31 December 2025), to show the effect of Invion's announcement of the Proposed Transaction on Invion's share trading prices and liquidity. January and February 2026 have also been set out below. Liquidity has been summarised by considering the following:

5.5 Historical financial information of Invion
This section sets out the historical financial information of Invion. As this Report contains only summarised historical financial information, we recommend that any user of this Report read and understand the additional notes and financial information contained in Invion's annual reports, including the full Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statements of Financial Position and Statements of Cash Flows.
Invion's financial statements for FY23 were audited by Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd ('Grant Thornton'), before the Company changed auditors in FY24 to William Buck Audit (VIC) Pty Ltd ('William Buck'). We note that in Invion's FY25 annual report, the auditors, highlighted material uncertainty regarding Invion's ability to continue operating as a going concern, following the Company's reported net loss of $8.8 million in FY25, and that Invion's current liabilities exceed its current assets at the end of the reporting period.
In Tables 5.9 and 5.10 below, we have also presented data from Invion's consolidated management accounts for the six-month period spanning 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025. BDOCF has not performed any audit or review of any type on the historical financial information of Invion, and we make no statement as to the accuracy of the information provided. However, we have no reason to believe that any of the information provided is false or misleading.

Notes to Table 5.9
| A | Historically, Invion has primarily generated revenue from the provision of R&D services provided under the various R&D and co-development agreements with RMWCG and anticipated reimbursement.
As disclosed in Invion's FY25 annual report, Invion did not recognise revenue in FY25, reflecting a more conservative approach to revenue recognition. No revenue or accounts receivable were recorded for R&D expenditure incurred during the period, given historical settlement delays and ongoing discussions with RMWCG regarding the potential expansion of Invion's rights under the Proposed Transaction. |
| --- | --- |
| B | Other income is comprised of interest received on cash held at bank. |
| C | FY25 employee benefits expense comprises salaries, wages and fees ($567k), superannuation ($1.9k) and employee entitlements ($23.8k), consistent with the Company's internal operating structure. |
| D | Depreciation and amortisation expense primarily relates to amortisation of Invion's intangible asset (being Invion's holdings of Photosoft^{TM} rights). Photosoft^{TM} IP was initially recorded during FY18 at cost, to be amortised on a straight-line basis over a 20-year useful life.
During the audit of Invion's FY25 annual reports, the auditors determined that the carrying value of Invion's intangible asset was disproportionately high when compared to Invion's market capitalisation. The auditor required the useful life of the Intangible asset to be adjusted, to 10 years.
The substantial increase in amortisation expense is representative of the adjustment to a 10-year useful life for Invion's intangible asset, and the implied accrued amortisation from previous periods. |
| E | FY25 administration & corporate expenses is comprised of legal fees ($168k), compliance costs ($300k), consulting fees ($287k), insurance ($206k), office overheads ($185k), business development expenses ($179k) and finance costs ($695k).
The increase in administration & corporate expenses in FY25 is due to finance costs, which increased from $240k to $695k (189%), primarily driven by a repayment of borrowings owed to Lind Partners as part of the financing agreement. |
| F | Share-based payment expense is related to the issuance of options to the directors of Invion, KMP, and consultants of the Company. |
| G | FY25 R&D expenditure totals $1.29 million, comprising pre-clinical development activities ($516k), drug formulation and manufacturing costs ($81k), scientific and technical consultancy fees ($647k) and other R&D costs ($46k).
R&D spend decreased materially from FY24 ($2.7 million), reflecting the scaling back of development programs during the period amid delays in RMWCG funding and the broader uncertainty associated with negotiations for the Proposed Transaction. |
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
| H | Invion recognised an impairment charge of $3.70 million in FY24 relating to trade receivables owing from RMWCG under the R&D Service Agreement, following significant delays in settlement as at 30 June 2024.
The balance of $3.7 million is made up of a full impairment of receivables due from RMWCG (-$4.1 million), partially offset by an increase $1.2 million receivable from the issuance of shares to Lind Partners. |
| --- | --- |
| I | Invion recognised no income tax expense in the observed period, reflecting the Company’s continued operating losses and the availability of carried-forward tax losses. |
| J | The FY25 net loss increased materially year-on-year, driven primarily by a significant rise in amortisation of intangible assets ($4.8 million) and ongoing corporate and compliance costs, partially offset by reduced R&D expenditure following delays in funding from RMWCG. |

Notes to Table 5.9
| A | Cash and cash equivalents increased slightly to $850k at 30 June 2025 (FY24: $784k), supported by equity capital raised during the year and receipts from Lind Partners, partly offset by continued operating cash outflows as the Company incurred R&D, administrative and amortisation expenses. |
|---|---|
| B | Trade and other receivables decreased to nil at 30 June 2025 (FY24: $1.2 million), reflecting the collection of the Lind Partners subscription proceeds after year end and the absence of new R&D service receivables during the period. The $4.1 million receivable from RMWCG recognised in FY24 remained fully provided for as a bad debt and therefore carried a nil net value. |
| C | Other current assets decreased marginally to $83k in FY25 (FY24: $87k), comprising prepayments and miscellaneous balances consistent with the Company’s ongoing operating requirements. |
| D | Property, plant and equipment decreased to $21k at 30 June 2025 (FY24: $40k), reflecting modest depreciation charges on a small asset base and limited capital expenditure during the period. |

6.0 Industry Overview
Invion operates in the biotechnology industry, focusing on the research and development of its Photosoft™ PDT platform for the treatment of a range of therapeutic indications. Invion was founded and registered in Australia and its operations are primarily concentrated in Australia and New Zealand, while actively expanding into international markets through strategic partnerships and extension to agreements.
The information presented in this section has been compiled from a range of publicly available sources, together with information taken from various databases to which we subscribe. BDOCF has not independently verified any of the information and we recommend that users of this Report refer to the original source of any information listed in this section. This section should be referred to as a broad guide only.
6.1 Overview of the Biotech Drug Development Landscape
6.1.1 Sector Characteristics
The biotechnology sector is a global, research-intensive industry characterised by long development timelines, high capital requirements and elevated technical and regulatory risk. The development of a new therapeutic typically spans 10-15 years and requires substantial investment in excess of $2 billion on average, reflecting extensive research activity and the high attrition rate of development candidates.² As a result, many biotechnology companies operate for extended periods without product revenue and rely on external funding sources such as equity markets, strategic partnerships and research collaborations to sustain operations.
The global biotechnology industry's dynamics vary by region, reflecting differences in capital availability, research infrastructure and regulatory requirements. Grand View Research estimates the global biotechnology market at USD$1.55 trillion in 2023, with the market projected to reach USD$3.88 trillion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate ('CAGR') of 13.96%. The United States remains the largest and most mature biotechnology market, accounting for approximately 41.4% of the market share and supported by deep capital pools, specialist life sciences investors and a well-established clinical and regulatory ecosystem.³
The Asia-Pacific biotechnology sector is expected to be the fastest-growing region globally between 2024 and 2030, driven by increasing research investment, expanding clinical pipelines and supportive government initiatives. Within this region, Australia has developed a growing biotechnology industry, supported by a favourable R&D tax incentive regime, strong academic and research institutions and access to public equity markets. Australian biotechnology companies commonly pursue international collaborations and licensing arrangements to access additional expertise, development pathways and funding sources, including partnerships across the broader Asia-Pacific region, with company value and risk profiles largely influenced by the stage of clinical development of their underlying assets.
6.1.2 Clinical Development Stages
The clinical development of a therapeutic product follows a structured, sequential process designed to assess safety, efficacy, and regulatory suitability prior to commercialisation. The pathway comprises preclinical development, followed by Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials, and ultimately regulatory submission and approval. Each stage involves increasing levels of cost, complexity and data requirements, with progression reflecting a reduction in technical and regulatory uncertainty. The clinical development pathway for each phase is set out in Table 6.1 below.
Table 6.1: Clinical development pathway characteristics
| Phase | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Preclinical development | Conducted prior to human testing and focused on assessing biological activity, pharmacokinetics, toxicology and overall safety. |
| Involves in vitro studies and animal models to establish proof-of-concept and determine suitability for human trials. | |
| Typically extends over several months to multiple years, depending on the therapeutic modality and regulatory requirements. | |
| Phase I | First administration of the therapeutic in humans, primarily assessing safety, tolerability and dosage. |
| Typically involves approximately 20-100 participants, often healthy volunteers or patients where appropriate. | |
| Aims to identify adverse effects and establish safe dosage ranges over a period of several months. | |
| Phase II | Expands testing to a larger patient population, commonly 100-300 patients with the target condition. |
| Focuses on evaluating preliminary efficacy, optimising dosage and further assessing safety. | |
| Generally more complex and can extend for up to 2 years. | |
| Phase III | Large-scale studies designed to confirm efficacy and safety and compare the therapeutic against existing standard-of-care treatments. |
| Typically involve hundreds to several thousand patients across multiple sites and jurisdictions. | |
| Represents the most capital-intensive stage and generates the data required for regulatory submission. | |
| Regulatory submission and approval | Involves submission of all preclinical and clinical data to regulatory authorities for review. |
| Assesses whether the therapeutic meets required safety, efficacy and quality standards for market approval |

The phase transition success rates and LOA presented in Tables 6.1 and 6.2 above reflect indications across oncology, infectious disease and cardiovascular (atherosclerosis) which are relevant to Invion's current clinical programs. We note that oncology is the key focus for Invion and is generally characterised by lower phase transition probabilities relative to other therapeutic areas, reflecting higher biological complexity, more stringent efficacy requirements and elevated regulatory scrutiny. Invion is currently progressing Phase I/II adaptive clinical studies for NMSC and is preparing to begin a Phase I anogenital cancer trial. Further, Invion has completed Phase I and early Phase II components for prostate cancer however this was an investigator led trial funded by RMWCG and is not a Licensed Indication under the Proposed Transaction.
Outside of the core indications, Invion has a number of other indications that are currently being progressed through preclinical trials, including atherosclerosis and infectious disease.
6.1.3 Risk Characteristics of Early-Stage Companies
Early-stage oncology developers within the drug development landscape face a number of inherent risks. Due to limited, or in many cases, no revenue streams, these companies often rely on funding dependence and strategic alliances. Such alliances can provide critical support by enhancing research capabilities and sharing the risks associated with the drug development, thereby helping to mitigate financial uncertainty.⁵
To strengthen their position, early-stage companies frequently adopt IP-based business models, as IP represents a primary source of value, supporting asset protection, funding access and strategic partnerships in the absence of near-term revenues. In addition, early-stage developers are exposed to regulatory uncertainty, with evolving compliance requirements and complex approval processes presenting ongoing challenges throughout the development lifecycle.
6.2 Oncology Treatment Market
6.2.1 Global Disease Burden and Healthcare Significance
Cancer remains one of the most significant global health burdens, contributing to millions of deaths annually and ranking as the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Cancer incidence rates continue to rise, including a notable increase in early-onset cases.⁶ In parallel, the invasive nature and side-effect profiles of many conventional cancer treatments have driven growing demand for minimally invasive and targeted therapeutic approaches. The global market for minimally invasive cancer treatments is estimated to be approximately US$294 billion by 2030.⁷
By incidence, the most common cancers globally include breast, lung, colorectal, prostate and skin cancers,⁸ which collectively account for a substantial proportion of cancer morbidity and the overall healthcare burden.

6.2.2 Therapeutic Ecosystem
The therapeutic ecosystem for cancer care is built around a number of standard cancer treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Surgery removes cancerous tissue through open or minimally invasive techniques, but it is not suitable for every patient. In these cases, radiotherapy and chemotherapy play critical roles. Radiotherapy uses targeted X-rays to shrink tumours and destroy cancer cells. Meanwhile, chemotherapy helps shrink tumours and lowers the risk of recurrence through multiple treatment cycles. Immunotherapy adds another dimension by using the body's immune system to fight cancer. These treatments are often integrated together into plans that are tailored for each patient in order to minimize side effects and improve quality of life.⁹
6.2.3 Oncology Segments Relevant to Invion's Pipeline
Invion's pipeline is focused on addressing cancers with high prevalence and significant unmet clinical needs and include NMSC and anogenital cancer. NMSC represents a strong opportunity due to its high incidence (over 1.2 million cases worldwide in 2020¹⁰) and demand for minimally invasive treatments. Anogenital cancers remain a critical area where treatments options are limited, underscoring the need for innovative solutions that Invion is positioned to deliver.¹¹ There are a number of other oncology indications relevant to Invion's pipeline however are not as progressed as these focus indications.
6.3 Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) and other PDT applications
PDT is a targeted, minimally invasive treatments that uses a light-sensitive drug (photosensitiser), often administered topically, in combination with a specific light source to selectively destroy cancer cells. PDT offers advantages including precision, repeatability and limited damage to surrounding health tissue.¹² However, first-generation PDT is subject to limitations such as restricted tissue penetration, phototoxicity, pain during light activation and slow drug clearance, which have constrained its broader clinical application.
Next-generation PDT ('NG-PDT') seeks to address these limitations through advances in photosensitiser chemistry and light-delivery technologies, improving tissue penetration and reducing adverse effects. These developments have expanded the potential use of PDT across skin cancers and other accessible tumours.¹³ NG-PDT platforms are also being applied in diagnostic fluorescence, enabling rapid, minimally invasive visualisation of cancerous tissue to support more accurate targeting and treatments.¹⁴
There is increasing research interest in combining PDT with immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors such as PD-1 and PD-L1 blockers. Preclinical studies suggest that PDT-induced tumour cell death may enhance immune activation, creating synergistic effects that improve the efficacy of immunotherapies and support systemic anti-tumour responses.¹⁵ From a regulatory perspective, PDT-based therapies are generally assessed as drug-device combinations, with approval pathways requiring evidence of safety, tumour response and comparative benefit, reflecting their emerging role as part of next-generation oncology treatments strategies.¹⁶
6.4 Market Applications Relevant to Invion's Licenced Indication
6.4.1 Industry Commercialisation Pathways for Early-Stage Biotech Assets
Early-stage biotechnology companies typically do not commercialise pharmaceutical products independently due to the significant capital requirements, regulatory complexity and infrastructure needed to bring a drug to market. Commercialisation is therefore commonly achieved through transactions with larger pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies that have the capability to progress development and commercial launch.
Common commercialisation models for early-stage biotech assets include:
- Out-licensing arrangements, under which a third party obtains development and commercialisation rights in exchange for upfront consideration, milestone payments and ongoing royalties.
- Co-development or joint-development agreements, where development costs, risks and future economics are shared between parties according to agreed terms.
- Sublicensing of regional or indication-specific rights, allowing the asset owner to retain certain rights while monetising specific geographies or therapeutic applications.
- Asset sale or option-to-license structures, which provide a counterparty with the right (or obligation) to acquire the asset at a later stage, typically following the achievement of defined development milestones.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
These structures commonly incorporate upfront payments, development and regulatory milestones, and future royalty arrangements, reflecting established industry practices for allocating development risk while preserving exposure to potential downstream value
6.5 Competitive, Regulatory and Commercialisation Risks Relevant to Invion
Invion operates within a competitive and capital-intensive biotechnology environment, particularly in oncology and PDT applications. Key risks relevant to Invion include:
- Competitive landscape: The PDT and NG-PDT space is evolving rapidly, with multiple photosensitisers, light-delivery systems and combination therapy approaches under development globally, which may reduce the relative differentiation of Invion’s assets over time.¹⁷
- Funding and execution risk: As a clinical-stage company with limited operating revenues, Invion is reliant on external funding to progress its development programs, exposing it to financing risk and potential shareholder dilution.¹⁸
- Intellectual property reliance: Invion’s programs are dependent on licensed intellectual property, with asset value and development progress contingent on the enforceability, scope and ongoing stability of the underlying licence arrangements and the performance of the licensor.¹⁹
- Regulatory complexity: PDT-based therapies are commonly regulated as drug-device combinations, which can increase approval complexity, data requirements and development timelines.
- Commercialisation uncertainty: Successful clinical outcomes do not guarantee commercialisation, and partnering or sublicensing opportunities may not arise, or may be achieved on terms less favourable than those typically observed in the sector.²⁰
Collectively, these factors contribute to uncertainty around development timelines, funding requirements and the ultimate commercial outcomes of Invion’s clinical programs.

7.0 Common Valuation Methodologies
7.1 Overview
RG 111 states that an expert should use its skill and judgment to select the most appropriate methodology or methodologies in its report. The expert must have a reasonable (or tenable) basis for choosing its valuation methodologies. However, RG 111 does not prescribe which methodology should be used by the expert, but rather notes that the decision lies with the expert based on the expert's skill and judgement and after considering the unique circumstances of the securities or assets being valued.
For the purposes of this Report we have had regard to the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council ('IVSC').
There are three overarching valuation methodologies described by the IVSC as follows:
- Income approach methods
- Market approach methods
- Cost approach methods.
7.2 Basis of value
The basis of valuation we have adopted is 'market value'. Market value is defined by the IVSC as:
"...the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion."
The valuation work set out in this Report assumes this relationship.
7.3 Income approach
7.3.1 Discounted cash flow ("DCF") method
The DCF method is widely used in cases where future cash flows, while uncertain, can be reasonably forecast based on available data, industry trends, or strategic projections. This approach is particularly applicable when an asset or business may experience initial cash outflows (e.g. during development or expansion phases) with anticipated positive cash flows in later years as it matures or achieves commercialisation. The DCF method captures these varying cash flow profiles by discounting projected future cash flows to present value, enabling a comprehensive valuation of entities with both stable and dynamic cash flow expectations.
The DCF method involves several key steps:
- Select the appropriate type of cash flow (e.g., pre-tax or post-tax, total cash flows or cash flows to equity, real or nominal) based on the nature of the subject asset.
- Determine the explicit forecast period, if applicable, over which cash flows will be projected. For assets at a stabilised level of growth and profits at the valuation date, an explicit forecast period may not be necessary, and a terminal value alone may form the basis of value (sometimes referred to as an income capitalisation method).
- Prepare cash flow projections for the explicit forecast period, aligning them with the asset's expected economic and operational performance.
- Calculate the terminal value, if appropriate, based on the asset's residual value or long-term growth rate beyond the forecast period.
- Determine the discount rate to reflect investor expectations of return, taking into account the specific risk characteristics of future cash flows and financing costs.
- Discount the projected cash flows and terminal value to present value using the selected discount rate.
- Adjust for non-operating assets or liabilities to ensure the final valuation reflects the entity's full financial position.
7.4 Market approach
7.4.1 Guideline comparable method
The guideline comparable method is a common market approach that values an asset by reference to market-based metrics from comparable companies or transactions. This method is particularly applicable when there is reliable data on similar businesses or transactions in the relevant market.
The guideline comparable method involves several key steps:
- Identify relevant valuation metrics or comparable evidence that reflect how participants in the market value similar assets. Common metrics in business valuation include revenue, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation ('EBITDA'), Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ('EBIT'), net profit after tax, and book values, with the choice depending on the industry and characteristics of the business.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
- Select comparable publicly traded companies and relevant transactions, calculating key valuation metrics for each. When limited comparable information exists, we may also consider prices of similar businesses listed or offered for sale.
- Conduct a comparative analysis of qualitative and quantitative similarities and differences between the selected comparable companies and the subject asset to identify relevant adjustments.
- Make necessary adjustments to valuation metrics, if required, to account for differences between the subject asset and comparable companies (e.g., size, growth prospects, or risk profile).
- Apply the adjusted valuation metrics to the subject asset to arrive at an estimated value.
Additional adjustments may be appropriate to reflect differences between actual historical cash flows and those expected by a buyer on the valuation date.
Where earnings-based metrics (e.g. EBIT or EBITDA) are used for comparison, this is often referred to as the capitalisation of maintainable earnings ('CME') method.
7.4.2 Share transactions
The share transactions approach values an entity based on recent transactions of its securities, providing an indication of market value when transaction data is available. This approach is particularly relevant in the following scenarios:
- For publicly traded entities, where share prices on an exchange can indicate market value, provided there is sufficient trading volume and a consistent trading history over time; and/or
- For entities with recent share issuances, such as rights issues or private placements, which can provide insight into the entity's perceived value.
Share market prices typically reflect transactions for minority interests and may not incorporate a premium for control.
7.4.3 Industry specific metrics
Industry-specific valuation metrics can be relevant when market participants commonly rely on alternative measures of value specific to the industry.
7.5 Cost based method
7.5.1 Replacement cost method
The replacement cost method values an asset based on the economic principle that a buyer would pay no more than the cost to acquire an asset with equivalent utility, either by purchase or by construction, assuming no undue time, inconvenience, or risk factors. This method calculates value by estimating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and deducting allowances for physical deterioration and any other relevant forms of obsolescence.
The key steps in the replacement cost method are:
- Calculate all costs that a typical participant would incur to create or acquire an asset with equivalent utility.
- Assess depreciation due to physical, functional, or external obsolescence associated with the subject asset.
- Deduct total depreciation from the replacement cost to determine the asset's value.
When the replacement cost method is applied based on the book value of an entity's assets, it is often referred to as an asset based valuation ('ABV') methodology.
7.5.2 Summation method
The summation method is useful for valuing entities whose overall value primarily depends on the individual values of different assets at various stages of development, or with different risk profiles.
The key steps in the summation method are:
- Value each component asset within the entity individually, using appropriate valuation approaches and methods for each type of asset.
- Aggregate the values of all component assets to determine the total value of the entity.

8.0 Valuation of Invion Prior to the Proposed Transaction
This section sets out our valuation of the shares in Invion and is structured as follows:
- Section 8.1 sets out our view of the most appropriate methodology to value Invion;
- Section 8.2 sets out our valuation of Invion having regard to a share transactions approach;
- Section 8.3 sets out our valuation of Invion having regard to a cost-replacement approach; and
- Section 8.4 sets out our conclusion on the value of Invion for the purposes of this Report.
8.1 Our valuation approach for Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction
We have considered each of the valuation methodologies outlined in Section 7 above and determined the most appropriate methodologies to calculate the value of Invion. In our view, having regard to our assessment of Invion, it is appropriate to adopt the market approach using observable share transactions for Invion (refer to Section 7.4.2 above).
The market approach values an entity based on recent transactions of its securities, providing an indication of market value when transaction data is available. This approach is particularly relevant for Invion given the following:
- Invion is a publicly traded entity on the ASX (ASX:IVX) with observable share price information to indicate market value; and
- Invion has sufficient trading volume and a consistent trading history, with 33.62% of the register trading in the 12 months prior to the Proposed Transaction announcement date (being 3 December 2025).
Share market prices typically reflect transactions for minority interests.
We have additionally considered the replacement cost methodology to cross-check the results of our share transactions method.
The replacement cost method estimates the economic value of Invion with reference to the development and acquisition of IP rights to the Photosoft™ technology that would be required for a third party to broadly replicate. This approach is most appropriate for businesses where the value lies in the underlying assets and not the ongoing operations of the business. Under this approach, we have had regard to Invion's investment in acquiring the rights to the Photosoft™ IP (pre-Proposed Transaction), as well as the R&D expenditure Invion has outlaid to progress Photosoft™-dependent drugs towards commercialisation. Given the nature of Invion's offering as an early-stage biotech company, and its substantial investment in the Photosoft™ technology, we consider the replacement cost approach to be a relevant method for valuing Invion.
We have also considered the application of an income-based approach to value Invion. Due to the nature of Invion and its stage of development, an income approach would rely on assumptions regarding development success, regulatory approval, commercialisation outcomes and funding availability over a prolonged period (potentially 10+ years to generate income). Given the uncertainty of these assumptions and the long-dated nature of potential cash flows, we consider that an income-based approach is less relevant in the circumstances.
8.2 Valuation of Invion based on share transactions
Our section valuing Invion using share transactions prior to the Proposed Transaction is set out as follows:
- Section 8.2.1 sets out Invion's recent share trading data;
- Section 8.2.2 sets out the liquidity of Invion's ordinary shares; and
- Section 8.2.3 sets out our adopted share price range for Invion shares.
8.2.1 Analysis of Invion's share trading data
Invion's ordinary shares are listed on the ASX and trade under the ticker 'IVX'. Information relating to the recent share trading data of Invion's ordinary shares along with an analysis of recent announcements made by Invion to the ASX are set out in Section 5.4 of this Report.
For the purposes of our valuation of Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction, we have considered the period spanning 1 December 2024 to 2 December 2025 to be relevant. Noting this, we given greater weighting to period spanning 1 June 2025 to 2 December 2025 when adopting a share price range for which to value Invion.

Having regard to Table 8.1 above, we note:
- Invion’s VWAP decreased substantially from a high monthly VWAP observable in December 2024 ($0.3204) to $0.1191 in March 2025. Since March 2025, Invion’s monthly VWAP has declined gradually, reaching a low in November 2025 ($0.0833);
- Invion’s monthly VWAP reached a minimum daily VWAP on 18 November 2025 ($0.0762); and
- Invion’s share price over the period gradually declined with a spike on 20 August 2025, reaching $0.1519, following Invion’s announcement that INV043 for anal cancer indications had received orphan designation status from the FDA.
8.2.2 Liquidity of Invion shares
Information on the liquidity of Invion shares is set out in Section 5.4.2 of this Report. As shown in Table 8.1, approximately 33.62% of Invion’s shares on issue traded over the 12-month period spanning 1 December 2024 to 2 December 2025.
In addition, Figure 8.1 below sets out the difference between the closing bid-ask spread and price over the period spanning 1 June 2025 to 2 December 2025.

Having regard to the information set out in Figure 8.1 above, we note that the historical average bid-ask spread has been 6.23% of closing price for the observed period. Over the period graphed in Figure 8.1 above, Invion’s closing daily bid-ask spread displays a period low of 1.00% on 16 October 2025 and a high of 27.27% on 22 January 2025.
From 1 June 2025, the daily bid-ask spread reached a high of 22.73% on 25 June 2025.
In our view, whilst Invion’s shares display a relatively moderate level of liquidity, Invion’s level of liquidity is nonetheless appropriate for considering share transactions in this Report.

8.2.3 Value of Invion ordinary shares
Having regard to the trading evidence set out above, we consider it appropriate to adopt a value in the range of $0.080 to $0.140 per Invion ordinary share on a minority interest basis.
In relation to our valuation range, we note the following considerations:
- The lower end of our range ($0.080) reflects weakness in the share price in the month leading up to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction;
- The upper end of our range ($0.140) allows for higher share prices observed over the previous 12 months including:
- the 12-month VWAP calculated up to 2 December 2025 of $0.1438;
- the August 2025 VWAP of $0.1315 and a high daily VWAP in August 2025 of $0.1519; and
- the $0.140 per share price at which Invion completed a share placement to sophisticated and institutional investors in March 2025.
- Over the past two financial years, Invion operated under a funding arrangement with Lind Partners, pursuant to which Invion received cash funding in exchange for ordinary shares. Under this arrangement, Lind Partners periodically sold shares into the market at discounted prices to prevailing market levels, which may have placed downward pressure on Invion’s share price. Invion Management advised this arrangement concluded in March 2025, and accordingly, this source of selling pressure is no longer expected to influence Invion’s share price.
- The broader volatility in the Company’s trading history, with the share price trading as low as $0.076 in November 2025 and as high as $0.404 in December 2024. Notwithstanding this volatility, Invion’s closing share price has exhibited a generally downward trend since December 2024, consistent with the Company’s cash burn over the quarter to progress R&D activities and observed funding need. We note that over this period, Invion’s closing share price did display intermittent spikes driven by market updates (refer Section 5.4), reaching $0.152 on 20 August 2025. Having regard to this volatility and price trajectory, we consider a valuation range that reflects a broad spectrum of recent pricing outcomes to be appropriate.
We note that an option entitlement offer was completed in July 2025. Due to the complexity of the offer structure, which included ‘piggy-back’ options, as an incentive for early exercise by 31 December 2025, we have not considered this offer in detail and do not believe that further analysis of this option offer would materially impact this Report or its conclusions.
On balance, we consider the adopted valuation range of $0.080 to $0.140 per share to reasonably reflect recent market evidence for Invion. Notwithstanding the above, we note that listed companies generally trade on a minority interest basis and therefore, at a discount. Empirical evidence suggests that a potential acquirer will generally pay a premium per share to the target company’s listed share price to gain a controlling stake in the target company. For further discussion of control premia, refer to Appendix B.
For the purposes of our valuation of 100% of the equity in Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction, we have had added a control premium of 30.00% to our selected valuation price range, as set out in Table 8.2 below.
Table 8.2: Adopted share price (control basis)
| Low | High | |
|---|---|---|
| Adopted share price (minority basis) | $0.080 | $0.140 |
| Control premium | 30.00% | 30.00% |
| Adopted share price (control basis) | $0.1040 | $0.1820 |
Source: BDOCF analysis
We acknowledge that as at the date of this Report, Invion has 83.6 million options on issue, as well as outstanding convertible notes (refer to Section 5.3). The market is aware of the existence of these additional equity instruments. As our adopted share price range for Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction has been derived from observable market trading data, we consider the securities which are not ordinary shares to have been appropriately ‘priced in’ to our adopted share price range.
Further, we note that we have not made an adjustment for the $4.1 million receivable owed by RMWCG to Invion under legacy R&D agreements (which equates to approximately $0.048 per share). Management has confirmed that there is no intention to pursue recovery of this receivable, and it was fully impaired in Invion’s FY25 annual report. Accordingly, we consider Invion’s observable share trading data to appropriately reflect the impairment of this receivable and we do not consider it appropriate to allow any upside over and above this.

8.3 Valuation of Invion having regard to the replacement cost methodology
Our assessment of the value of Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction having regard to the replacement cost methodology is set out as follows
- Section 8.3.1 sets out an overview of the replacement cost methodology;
- Section 8.3.2 sets out a summary of Invion's investment in the rights to Photosoft™ IP;
- Section 8.3.3 sets out the key factors we considered when applying the replacement cost methodology;
- Section 8.3.4 sets out our conclusion on the replacement cost value of Invion's rights to Photosoft™ IP;
- Section 8.3.5 sets out our valuation of Invion's equity having regard to the replacement cost methodology; and
- Section 8.3.6 sets out our conclusion on the value of Invion having regard to the replacement cost methodology.
8.3.1 Overview of the replacement cost methodology
The replacement cost methodology estimates the economic value of Invion with reference to expenditure that would be required for a third party to acquire a broadly comparable technology platform. This approach is appropriate where:
- A company's core value is derived from proprietary technology or IP developed and acquired over multiple years;
- Historical expenditure provides a reasonable indication of the cost required to acquire the platform; and
- Operating cash flows are not expected to be generated for a prolonged period, limiting the reliability of income-based valuation methodologies.
Given the integral role that Photosoft™ plays in the value of Invion as a whole and Invion's substantial accumulated investment in the technology, we consider the replacement cost approach to be a relevant method for valuing Invion.
8.3.2 Summary of Invion's investment in Photosoft™ technology IP
Invion's principal asset comprises its contractual rights to the Photosoft™ IP, which in our view, represents the sole material source of value attributable to Invion. Invion gained rights to the Photosoft™ IP through a series of agreements with RMWCG (refer to Section 5.1.4). These agreements provide Invion with the ability to access, develop and exploit the Photosoft™ IP, subject to the terms of the relevant licensing and co-development agreements. Invion does not currently generate revenue from the commercial exploitation of Photosoft™, with cash inflows limited to funding received pursuant to agreements with RMWCG.
Invion's investment in rights to Photosoft™ IP has been executed through the acquisition of IP rights, rather than through the capitalisation of internal R&D expenditure. Accordingly, the Photosoft™ intangible asset recognised on balance sheet reflects acquisition-only costs and is amortised over its useful life in accordance with Invion's accounting policies.
As at the end of FY25, Invion's total disclosed expenditure associated with the acquisition of the Photosoft™ rights amounted to $16.15 million, representing the cumulative costs incurred to obtain and maintain its interest in the technology. For completeness, Invion has made no further investment in Photosoft™ IP rights between the end of FY25 and the date of this Report. After considering accumulated amortisation as per Invion's management accounts at 31 December 2025, the carrying value of the Photosoft™ asset is approximately $7.7 million.
A consolidated summary of Invion's historical investment in Photosoft™ technology, as disclosed in Invion's annual reports, is set out in Table 8.3 below.

1 R&D expenditure presented in Table 8.3 relates specifically to expenditure on drugs reliant on Photosoft™ technology, as specified by Management
Having regard to Table 8.3 above, we note:
- The Photosoft™ rights were initially determined to have a useful life of 20 years for the purposes of straight-line amortisation, however in FY25, Management revised the useful life to 10 years. The sudden increase in accumulated amortisation in FY25 is representative of the amortisation that would have been accumulated on the existing rights subject to a 10-year useful life;

- Before acquiring its initial license for Photosoft™, Invion’s intangible asset balance was held at cost less accumulated amortisation of two drugs, INV102 and INV104. During FY19 these assets were spun-out, leaving the carrying value of Photosoft™ to comprise Invion’s intangible asset balance in its entirety. Table 8.4 does not include any IP balance or accumulated amortisation relating to INV102 and INV104; and
- The Photosoft™ IP asset is a cumulative balance, increasing each year by the additional investment made during the period.
8.3.3 Application of the replacement cost method to Photosoft™ IP
In applying the replacement cost methodology, we have had regard to the following factors:
- While Invion’s holdings of Photosoft™ IP rights hold value, Invion has not yet generated operating cash flows through the commercialisation of finished drug products. Rather, it has historically relied on funding arrangements with RMWCG to progress development activities. As an early-stage biotechnology company, Invion has incurred consistent operating losses, and there is no certainty that Invion will ultimately be able to utilise its Photosoft™ rights to generate sustainable positive cash flows;
- We have not made any adjustments to our replacement cost assessment for potential transaction costs, negotiations costs or other acquisition-related costs that may be incurred by a third party seeking to acquire IP rights equivalent to those held by Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction; and
- The replacement cost methodology is intended to reflect the economic effort required to replace the technology in its current state, not its future potential.
8.3.4 Assessment of acquisition expenditure and implied replacement cost valuation range
Having regard to the considerations set out in Section 8.3.3, in our view, it is appropriate to adopt a replacement cost range of $7.7 million to $16.15 million for Invion’s rights to Photosoft™ IP, prior to the Proposed Transaction.
Having regard to the low end of our range ($7.7 million) we have adopted the book value as recorded in the December 2025 management accounts. This value considers that there may be some impairment of the historical expenditure incurred to date in securing the rights.
Having regard to the high end of our range ($16.15 million) we note:
- The high end of our range is representative of the gross economic outlay incurred by Invion to acquire its rights to the Photosoft™ IP prior to the Proposed Transaction;
- Invion’s holdings of Photosoft™ IP rights were acquired over several years through multiple license and co-development arrangements. A third party seeking to acquire Photosoft™, or a similar technology, would likely be required to commit significant time and resources to negotiate and establish comparable contractual arrangements; and
- The use of cumulative acquisition expenditure avoids the need to make assumptions regarding development efficiency, alternative development pathways or future commercial outcomes, which are inherently uncertain for early-stage technology of this nature.
We note that, in addition to the acquisition expenditure incurred to secure the Photosoft™ IP rights, Invion has also incurred approximately $13.0 million of cumulative R&D expenditure on Photosoft™-dependent drug programs (refer to Table 8.3). This expenditure reflects development activities undertaken to operationalise the Photosoft™ platform and progress drug candidates toward their current stage of development.
Historically, a portion of this R&D expenditure was reimbursable by RMWCG under the R&D Services Agreement. However, in recent years RMWCG has been unable to meet its reimbursement obligations, resulting in a material receivable balance which Management has advised is unlikely to be recoverable without disrupting ongoing development activities. Consistent with this position, the Proposed Transaction contemplates the mutual release of legacy arrangements and associated claims.
We have not included the R&D expenditure as a separate component of replacement cost in our pre-transaction valuation, as such expenditure has limited standalone value in the absence of ownership of, or access to, the underlying Photosoft™ IP (for completeness we note that post-Proposed Transaction, Invion will have the benefit of this R&D expenditure given the expanded rights to the Photosoft™ IP).
8.3.5 Equity value of Invion based on the replacement cost method
The Photosoft™ IP rights represent Invion’s sole material operating asset, and Invion has no other material operating assets or liabilities that would materially affect its enterprise value prior to the Proposed Transaction. Accordingly, the economic effort required to acquire or develop the Photosoft™ IP rights to their current state is the primary determinant of Invion’s enterprise value on an arm’s length basis.
On this basis, we have derived an equity value for Invion by adjusting the implied enterprise value for non-operating assets and liabilities, including cash, convertible note securities and outstanding options, in order to determine the equity value attributable to ordinary shareholders.
Table 8.4 below summarises our valuation of Invion’s equity having regard to the replacement cost methodology.

1 As at 19 February 2026, Invion had a cash balance of $687,291. Invion has received $578,118 under the January 2026 Convertible Note, with the remaining $671,882 subject to Shareholder approval under Resolutions 4 and 5 of the Notice of Meeting. Having regard to Management's expectation that these resolutions will be approved, and noting they are being considered contemporaneously with the Proposed Transaction, we have assumed receipt of the remaining $671,882 issuance proceeds for the purposes of our valuation, and the full $1.25 million face value of the 2026 Convertible Note.
Having regard to our valuation of Invion set out in Table 8.4 above we note:
-
At the time of this Report, the Proposed Transaction has not yet occurred and, we consider it appropriate to have regard to Invion's capital structure based on the most current available information. Therefore, we have made the following adjustments to our selected replacement cost valuation to determine the value of the equity in Invion (before options):
-
The book value of cash deposits often provides a fair indication to the fair value of those securities. As at 19 February 2026, Invion had cash on hand of $687k and had received $578k under the January 2026 Convertible Note, with the remaining $672k subject to Shareholder approval. Having regard to Management's expectation that the relevant resolutions will be approved, we have assumed receipt of the remaining $671k proceeds from the January 2026 Convertible Note and have included this additional amount in cash balance as a surplus asset;
-
Invion's October 2025 Convertible Note matured on 28 February 2026 with mandatory conversion. Management has advised that 11,318,060 ordinary shares will be issued on or around 5 March 2026, extinguishing the convertible note and any obligations under the instrument. Accordingly, no deduction was made for this note, and the number of ordinary shares outstanding reflect the note's conversion; and
-
Invion's January 2026 Convertible Note has a time to maturity of three years and can be converted at the election of the note holder. This note represents a financing instrument and as at the valuation date, constitutes a prior-ranking economic claim on Invion's enterprise value. Accordingly, the January 2026 Convertible Note has been deducted at its face value in determining the equity value attributable to ordinary shareholders. Effectively, the cash received is being netted off against the face value of 2026 Convertible Notes for a nil net movement;
-
In determining the equity value attributable to Invion's ordinary shareholders, we have explicitly recognised the economic value of the Company's outstanding options. These Options represent a claim on Invion's equity value and therefore must be accounted for prior to attributing value to ordinary shareholders. The Options have been valued using a Black-Scholes methodology, having regard to their respective exercise prices, terms to expiry, and appropriate volatility and risk-free rate assumptions. Refer to Appendix E for further discussion of the Black-Scholes methodology and the inputs used in our valuation of Invion's options; and
-
As the value of Invion's options is sensitive to the underlying share price, and the implied share price itself depends on the value remaining for ordinary shareholders after recognising the option claims, an iterative approach has been adopted. The implied share price has been solved such that it is internally consistent with the equity value attributable to ordinary shareholders after deducting the value of the outstanding options.
8.3.6 Conclusion on Invion's value based on the replacement cost methodology
Having regard to the information set out above, we consider it appropriate to adopt an equity value per ordinary share for Invion in the range of approximately $0.0666 to $0.1140, prior to the Proposed Transaction.
We note that the replacement cost valuation of Invion is materially lower than our share transaction-based valuation. The share transactions approach reflects observable market pricing which incorporates investors' assessments of future commercialisation potential, strategic optionality and other intangible or goodwill-like value beyond the economic cost to acquire the Photosoft™ IP rights. In effect, the replacement cost methodology is anchored to historical expenditure and does not capture such prospective value.

Figure 8.2: Comparison of Invion valuation outcomes

Source: BDOCF analysis
In our view, for the purpose of our assessment of Invion's value prior to the Proposed Transaction set out in this Report, it is appropriate to adopt a value in the range of $0.1040 to $0.1820 per Invion share on a controlling interest basis.
Having regard to this valuation range, we note:
- In our view, the share transaction methodology provides the most direct evidence of value, as it reflects prices at which informed market participants have been willing to transact in Invion shares, having regard to all publicly available information, prevailing market conditions, and general investor sentiment regarding the Company's potential future value arising from its Photosoft™ technology. We have also assumed that the market's view will persist following Invion's acquisition of further Photosoft™ rights under the Proposed Transaction;
- The replacement cost methodology provides a relevant reference point to cross-check the share transaction valuation, as it reflects the economic effort required to acquire the Photosoft™ IP rights to their current state. However, it is inherently limited in that it does not capture any value created by Invion beyond the underlying replacement cost; and
- We have not attributed any value to the receivable from RMWCG (approximately $0.048 per share), as Management has explicitly advised that the balance has been fully impaired and does not intend to pursue recovery, given the low likelihood of cash realisation and the potential for adverse impact on Invion's ongoing development activities if the Proposed Transaction were not to be approved.

9.0 Valuation of Invion post the Proposed Transaction
This section sets out our valuation of Invion following completion of the Proposed Transaction. This section is structured as follows:
- Section 9.1 outlines our assessment of the most appropriate valuation approach for Invion following the Proposed Transaction;
- Section 9.2 sets out our valuation of Invion having regard to a market-based approach;
- Section 9.3 sets out our replacement cost valuation cross-check;
- Section 9.4 sets out our guideline comparable company’s cross-check; and
- Section 9.5 sets out our conclusion on the value of Invion following the Proposed Transaction for the purposes of this Report.
9.1 Our valuation approach for Invion post to the Proposed Transaction
We have considered each of the valuation methodologies outlined in Section 7 of this Report and assessed their relevance to Invion following completion of the Proposed Transaction.
In our view, having regard to Invion’s stage of development and the nature of the Proposed Transaction, it is appropriate to adopt a market-based valuation framework that anchors to observable share trading prior to the announcement of the transaction (as set out in Section 8) and then assesses how the Proposed Transaction would be expected to alter that value.
Up to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction on 2 December 2025, Invion’s shares were trading on the ASX in the ordinary course. At that time, the Company’s value was entirely attributable to a single asset, its rights to the Photosoft™ technology and the associated development pathway. As a result, the prevailing share price provides a direct market-based indication of how investors valued that asset, having regard to the risk profile that shareholders had accepted, including the possibility that the technology may not ultimately be successfully commercialised. This trading therefore reflects the market’s assessment of the value of Invion’s sole asset under the pre-Proposed Transaction rights structure. We consider an appropriate starting point for our valuation is the value implied from share trading data up to 2 December 2025 (which is also the basis for our valuation work set out in Section 8).
Our analysis then considers the expected impact of the Proposed Transaction on Invion’s enterprise value. In particular, we consider the expansion in the total addressable market ('TAM') arising from the acquisition of exclusive, perpetual global rights to Photosoft™ for the Licensed Indications. The expansion in TAM is expected to increase the scale of Invion’s potential future cash flows. While the expanded TAM materially increases Invion’s long-term commercial opportunity, this uplift is partially offset by value-detracting factors, most notably the obligation to pay royalties on future net revenue and proceeds relating to one time payments (i.e. acquisition), which reduces Invion’s share of downstream cash flows relative to the pre-Proposed Transaction position.
This valuation approach is considered appropriate because:
- Invion remains an early-stage biotechnology company with no current revenues and no reliable, independently verifiable forecast cash flows; and
- While the Proposed Transaction materially expands and restructures Invion’s commercial rights, it does not, of itself, change the underlying technical, clinical, regulatory or funding risks associated with developing and commercialising the technology, nor does it accelerate the development pathway or reduce the substantial capital required to progress the asset.
Consistent with ASIC Regulatory Guide 111, our valuation of Invion following the Proposed Transaction has been prepared on a minority interest basis, reflecting observable market outcomes.
We have also considered a guideline comparable companies methodology as a secondary reference point to assess the reasonableness of the valuation outcomes derived from our market-based approach against comparable peers. Given the inherent limitations in comparing early-stage biotechnology companies, including differences in development stage, indication focus, rights structure and geographic exposure, this methodology has not been relied upon as a primary valuation approach, but has been used to support the outcomes of our primary analysis.
Finally, Invion’s shares have continued trading post-announcement and provide a post-Proposed Transaction trading window which can be considered in our valuation.

9.2 Valuation of Invion having regard to a market-based approach
9.2.1 Derivation of pre-Proposed Transaction enterprise value
Our assessment of the value of Invion following the Proposed Transaction builds upon the valuation of Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction set out in Section 8.
As outlined in Section 8, we have adopted a value for Invion ordinary shares in the range of $0.1040 to $0.1820 per share on a controlling interest basis prior to the Proposed Transaction. To assess the impact of the Proposed Transaction at a company level, we have derived a pre-Proposed Transaction enterprise value (control basis) by applying the adopted control share price range to the issued ordinary shares and then adjusting for other equity claims (including options, which represent potential economic claims on the Company and therefore must be taken into account in deriving enterprise value), the January 2026 Convertible Note (treated at this stage as a debt-like, prior-ranking claim), and surplus cash.
Table 9.1 below summarises Invion’s pre-Proposed Transaction enterprise value on a control basis.
Table 9.1: Derivation of pre-Proposed Transaction enterprise value (control basis)

|---|---|---|
| Adopted share price (control basis) | $0.1040 | $0.1820 |
| No. of ordinary shares outstanding^{1} | 96,965,315 | 96,965,315 |
| Equity value of Invion to ordinary shareholders | $10,084,393 | $17,647,687 |
| Add: Value of options | $3,123,683 | $9,692,310 |
| Equity value of Invion | $13,208,076 | $27,339,997 |
| Less: Cash and cash equivalents^{2} | ($1,359,173) | ($1,359,173) |
| Add: Face value of January 2026 Convertible Note | $1,250,000 | $1,250,000 |
| Pre-Proposed Transaction enterprise value | $13,098,903 | $27,230,824 |
Source: Management Information, BDOCF analysis
2 As at 19 February 2026, Invion had a cash balance of $687,291. Invion has received $578,118 under the January 2026 Convertible Note, with the remaining $671,882 subject to Shareholder approval under Resolutions 4 and 5 of the Notice of Meeting. Having regard to Management’s expectation that these resolutions will be approved, and noting they are being considered contemporaneously with the Proposed Transaction, we have assumed receipt of the remaining $671,882 issuance proceeds for the purposes of our valuation.
Having regard to the information set out above, we consider it appropriate to adopt a pre-Proposed Transaction enterprise value for Invion on a control basis in the range of approximately $13.1 million to $27.2 million.
9.2.2 Expansion in total addressable market resulting from the Proposed Transaction
The principal value effect of the Proposed Transaction is the expansion of Invion’s territorial rights to the Photosoft™ technology for certain Licensed Indications, from regionally constrained arrangements to exclusive, perpetual global rights. This expansion applies to cancer and certain infectious and other disease indications. Invion’s rights for atherosclerosis and certain other infectious disease indications remain subject to territorial limitations and are not materially altered by the Proposed Transaction.
For the purposes of this valuation, TAM represents the estimated total market size for the treatment of each relevant indication across all therapeutic modalities, prior to allowing for clinical, regulatory or commercial constraints. TAM does not represent forecast revenues for Invion and should not be interpreted as such.
In order to isolate the value effect of the Proposed Transaction, our assessment of TAM has been limited to those Licensed Indications for which Invion’s territorial rights are materially expanded as a result of the Proposed Transaction. Accordingly, our analysis focuses on cancer and infectious and other disease indications where Invion transitions from territorially constrained rights to exclusive, perpetual global rights. Licensed Indications for which Invion’s territorial rights are not materially changed have been excluded from the TAM uplift analysis.
Prior to the Proposed Transaction, Invion’s Photosoft™ rights for cancer indications were limited to Australia and New Zealand and certain Asia-Pacific territories, while its rights for infectious disease indications were subject to a separate set of regional limitations. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, Invion will hold exclusive, perpetual global rights for the relevant Licensed Indications considered in this analysis (refer to the Table 9.2 territory source note).
Tables 9.2 below summarise our estimate of the TAM available to Invion for these Licensed Indications prior to and following the Proposed Transaction, respectively. These estimates are based on publicly available industry data and Management discussions and reflect the geographic scope of Invion’s rights before and after completion.

1. Pre-Proposed Transaction TAM for Cancer Territories was estimated by applying an approximate 12% share of global TAM. This reflects the oncology market distribution data showing APAC at -22% of global, adjusted to exclude Greater China (-8%) and Japan (2%). Individual indications use the same proportional allocation from global figures for consistency.31
2. Pre-Transaction TAM for AID Territories was estimated by applying 56% share of global TAM. This reflects regional market distributions across North America (-38%) and APAC excluding China (-18%) with Hong Kong included. HPV uses vaccine market data, periodontal uses human therapeutics market (animal component negligible in this territory).32
3. Prior to the Proposed Transaction (as announced in Invion's ASK release dated 3 December 2025), Invion's PhotosoftTM rights for cancer indications were available in Australia and New Zealand ('ANZ') and the Asia-Pacific ('APAC') region, excluding Greater China, Japan, Macau and Taiwan (together 'Cancer Territories'). Invion's PhotosoftTM rights for infectious disease indications were available in the APAC region, excluding China, Russia, Macau, Taiwan and the Middle East plus USA, Canada and Hong Kong (together 'AID Territories').

Table 9.3 below summarises the increase in TAM attributable to the Proposed Transaction, arising from the expansion of Invion's territorial rights for oncology and infectious and other disease indications from regionally constrained arrangements to exclusive, perpetual global rights for the relevant Licensed Indications.
We note that of the indications set out in Table 9.2 above, Invion's primary focus is oriented toward NMSC, Anogenital and Oesophageal cancers. In aggregate, the TAM for these three indications is indicated by the above figures to increase by US$15.8 billion should the Proposed Transaction be completed.
Table 9.3: Change in TAM attributable to the Proposed Transaction
| USD (B) | |
|---|---|
| Total TAM (pre-Proposed Transaction) | $13.4 |
| Total TAM (post-Proposed Transaction) | $86.6 |
| Absolute change in TAM | $73.2 |
| Increase multiple (x) | 6.46x |
Source: BDOCF analysis
The increase in TAM of 6.46x shown in Table 9.3 and attributable to the Proposed Transaction reflects the theoretical expansion of Invion's addressable market arising from the geographic broadening of its rights for the relevant Licensed Indications.
In translating this expansion into a valuation reference point, we have not assumed that the full headline increase in TAM would translate on a one-for-one basis into enterprise value. Such a proportional relationship would implicitly assume that the expanded market opportunity gives rise to a corresponding proportional increase in expected future cash flows. We do not consider those assumptions to be appropriate in the context of Invion's early-stage development profile.
In practice, differences in the relative attractiveness of geographies and indications, the long-dated and uncertain nature of potential revenues, and the fact that early-stage development programs do not capture addressable market opportunities uniformly across an expanded footprint, mean that the contribution of expanded TAM to value is expected to be attenuated relative to the headline increase in market size.
In our view, for valuation purposes, it is appropriate to adopt an indicative enterprise value uplift multiple of 3.2x, representative of approximately half of the uplift in TAM available to Invion post the Proposed Transaction.
In determining the indicative 3.2x uplift multiple, we also had regard to the fact that, under the pre-transaction arrangements, development expenditure for certain indications was contractually reimbursable by the Licensor, which, if realised, would have represented a benefit to Invion at no net cost. However, given the Licensor's historical failure to meet those reimbursement obligations, and the cessation of payments in recent years, we consider it possible that the market may have already discounted the expectation of reimbursement when valuing Invion prior to the Proposed Transaction. While the removal of that theoretical benefit results in Invion bearing full funding responsibility on a go-forward basis, no separate adjustment has been made for this factor. Nevertheless, the existence of the prior reimbursement structure, and its practical ineffectiveness, was considered in arriving at the selected 3.2x uplift multiple.
9.2.3 Royalty considerations
Under the Licence Agreement, Invion is required to pay NGPDT IP an ongoing royalty equal to 10% of net sales of completed, licensed drug products, together with revenue sharing on certain sublicensing or analogous commercialisation receipts (refer Section 4.4 and Appendix C).
The introduction of royalty obligations represents a material change to the economic arrangements applicable to Invion's Photosoft™ rights. While the Proposed Transaction materially expands Invion's commercial opportunity through the acquisition of exclusive, perpetual global rights for certain Licensed Indications, the royalty reduces the proportion of downstream value ultimately retained by Invion shareholders in the event of successful commercialisation.
For the purposes of assessing the uplift to enterprise value, it is necessary to consider the effect of the royalty on Invion's long-term future cash flows. Research into mature, fully commercialised biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies (adjusted for ongoing research and development expenditure) indicates that steady-state EBITDA margins are typically in the range of approximately 20% to 40%. At steady state, a 10% royalty on net sales represents a material and recurring leakage from operating cash flows. In margin terms, a 10% royalty would consume approximately 50% of EBITDA at a 20% margin, and approximately 25% of EBITDA at a 40% margin.
The terms of the License Agreement also dictate that an acquirer of rights to Photosoft™ will be subject to the same set of royalty requirements payable to NGPDT IP as Invion, should they successfully commercialise the IP.

9.2.4 Consideration of M&A participation payable to NGPDT IP
Under the terms of the Licence Agreement, Invion is required to pay NGPDT IP 20% of any consideration received in connection with a change-of-control, sale, assignment or analogous M&A transaction involving Invion or its Photosoft™ rights (refer Section 4.4 and Appendix C).
In considering the reasonableness of valuation outcomes, we have had regard to the likely pathway to value realisation for a company of Invion's profile. As an early-stage biotechnology company with no current revenues and a technology-centric asset base, Invion's long-term commercialisation outcomes are more likely to be achieved through strategic partnering, sublicensing or an M&A transaction, rather than through full independent development and commercialisation. This is consistent with observed outcomes for comparable biotechnology companies at a similar stage of development.
We consider it appropriate to assume that a change-of-control or similar transaction is a reasonably foreseeable value realisation scenario, rather than a remote or speculative event. On that basis, the contractual obligation to remit 20% of transaction proceeds to NGPDT IP represents a structural and unavoidable reduction in the economic value ultimately available to Invion shareholders in such an outcome.
To reflect this, we have adjusted valuation outcomes by applying an 80% factor to enterprise value measures that are intended to capture long-term value realisation, thereby removing the portion of value contractually payable to NGPDT IP in the event of an M&A transaction.
This approach is considered reasonable in the circumstances, as it avoids overstating shareholder value by implicitly assuming full retention of transaction proceeds in scenarios where contractual arrangements clearly provide otherwise.
9.2.5 Uplift to enterprise value following the Proposed Transaction
As outlined in Sections 9.2.2 and 9.2.3 above, the principal value effect of the Proposed Transaction is the expansion of Invion's long-term commercial opportunity through the acquisition of exclusive, perpetual global rights for certain Licensed Indications, partially offset by the introduction of ongoing royalty obligations.
In assessing the impact of the Proposed Transaction on Invion's value, and given the early-stage nature of Invion's development programs, we consider it appropriate to assess the uplift at the enterprise value level by applying an indicative uplift multiple to Invion's pre-Proposed Transaction enterprise value.
As discussed in Section 9.2.2, our view is that the expansion in TAM supports the application of an indicative enterprise value uplift multiple of 3.2x. However, as discussed in Section 9.2.3 and Section 9.2.4, the royalty and M&A arrangements under the Licence Agreement reduce the proportion of downstream value retained by Invion.
For the purposes of this assessment, we have considered a range of steady-state EBITDA margins of 20% to 40%, consistent with observed outcomes for mature biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies (adjusted for ongoing research and development expenditure). Within this range, we have adopted a base case EBITDA margin of 30% for the purposes of deriving an adjusted uplift to enterprise value.
On this basis, a 10% royalty on net sales represents approximately one-third of steady-state EBITDA, implying that approximately 67% of the enterprise value uplift associated with market expansion is retained by Invion. Accordingly, we have applied a 67% adjustment factor to the indicative uplift multiple.
Table 9.4 below summarises the adjustments we have made to Invion's TAM uplift multiple.

INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
We acknowledge that this approach is inherently high-level and does not involve a detailed bottom-up modelling of clinical development outcomes or commercial penetration, nor does it attempt to forecast the timing of future cash flows, which, if the technology is successfully commercialised, may not commence for a period of 10 years or more given the early stage of Invion's development programs. However, having regard to Invion's current stage of development and the nature of the Proposed Transaction, which primarily affects the scope of Invion's commercial rights rather than near-term operating performance, we consider this approach to provide a reasonable basis for assessing the effect of the Proposed Transaction on enterprise value.
For completeness, and to illustrate the sensitivity of valuation outcomes to different steady-state margin assumptions, we have also considered the impact of EBITDA margins at 20% and 40%, applied to both the lower (2.2x) and upper (4.2x) unadjusted uplift multiples. These sensitivities are illustrated in the equity value and per-share analysis set out in Section 9.2.6.
9.2.6 Equity value of Invion following the Proposed Transaction
We have converted the post-Proposed Transaction enterprise value from Section 9.2.5 into an equity value by adjusting for non-operating assets and considering the post-Proposed Transaction capital structure of Invion (being the direct economic claims on Invion's equity as at the expected date of the Proposed Transaction).
Treatment of consideration shares issued under the Proposed Transaction
Under the Proposed Transaction, Invion will issue up to 36.7 million ordinary shares as consideration for the acquisition of expanded Photosoft™ rights, comprising an initial tranche issued on completion and additional tranches issued upon the achievement of specified clinical milestones. All consideration securities, once issued, rank equally with existing ordinary shares.
For valuation purposes, we have assumed that all consideration shares are issued and have included them in the post-Proposed Transaction share count. While the issuance of certain tranches is contingent on the achievement of milestones, the shares, if issued, do not confer economic rights that differ from those attached to existing ordinary shares. A contingent ordinary share cannot have a value greater than, or meaningfully different from, an ordinary share once issued. Accordingly, a valuation must either apply a discount to reflect the probability of non-issuance or assume full issuance.
Given Invion's early-stage nature and the fact that the underlying equity value of the Company is largely dependent on the successful progression of its development programs, we consider it reasonable to assume that a market participant would expect the milestones to be achieved in a scenario where the Company has material value. On that basis, we have assumed full issuance of the consideration shares for valuation purposes.
Receivable owed by RMWCG
Management has explicitly advised that they will not be able to recover the $4.1 million receivable owed by RMWCG. We did not include this amount in our pre-Proposed Transaction valuation and have not made any adjustment post-Proposed Transaction for the $4.1 million receivable owed by RMWCG to Invion.
Treatment of Convertible Notes
Invion's January 2026 Convertible Note has a three-year maturity and remains convertible at the holder's election. As at the date of the Proposed Transaction, it represents a debt-like, prior-ranking economic claim on enterprise value. Accordingly, it has been deducted at its face value of $1.25 million in determining the equity value attributable to ordinary shareholders.
Management has advised that Invion propose to issue 11,318,060 ordinary shares on or around 5 March 2025 upon conversion of the October 2025 Convertible Note. Accordingly, these shares have been accounted for in Section 8 and 9 under ordinary shares on issue.
Treatment of Options
Invion has options on issue with varying exercise prices, expiry dates and trading characteristics. These Options represent claims on Invion's equity value and have been explicitly recognised in determining the equity value attributable to ordinary shareholders. The Options have been valued using an iterative Black-Scholes approach to maintain consistency between the implied share price, the option values and the residual equity available to ordinary shareholders. Further detail on the methodology and assumptions applied is set out in Appendix E.
Treatment of Resolution 8 - Equity Incentives to Mr Thian Chew
Under Resolution 8 of the Notice of Meeting, subject to completion of the Proposed Transaction and Mr Thian Chew raising at least $3.0 million during FY26, Invion will issue 5.0 million ordinary shares and 5.0 million options. For the purposes of this valuation, we have assumed that the Proposed Transaction completes and that the remaining capital required to satisfy this resolution is met. Accordingly, the additional 5 million ordinary shares have been included in the post-Proposed Transaction share count, and the 5 million options have been valued using the same iterative Black-Scholes methodology applied to Invion's existing options. These instruments represent additional economic claims on Invion's equity and have therefore been explicitly recognised in determining the equity value attributable to ordinary Shareholders following the Proposed Transaction.

For completeness, and to illustrate the sensitivity of valuation outcomes to different steady-state margin assumptions, we have also considered EBITDA margins of 20% and 40%, applied to a low multiple (2.2x) and high end multiple (4.2x), being 1 times less and more than our adopted, unadjusted TAM uplift multiple. For completeness, the figures in Figure 9.1 below have also been adjusted for M&A consideration payable to NGPDT IP.
Figure 9.1: Equity value sensitivities of Invion post-Proposed Transaction

Source: BDOCF analysis
These sensitivities are presented on a per-share basis to illustrate how alternative market participant assumptions regarding both the scale of the TAM uplift and the economic impact of the royalty translate into valuation outcomes. Specifically, the analysis considers uplift multiples at the lower and upper ends of the indicative TAM-based range of 2.2x and 4.2x, combined with EBITDA margin assumptions of 20% and 40%, which are used solely as a mechanism to assess the proportion of enterprise value diluted by the 10% royalty on net sales.
The EBITDA margin assumptions are not intended to represent forecasts of Invion's future operating margins. Rather, they provide a framework for translating the royalty obligation into an enterprise value adjustment under different views of long-term profitability. Under this framework, a market participant adopting a more conservative view on margins would attribute a greater proportion of enterprise value to the royalty, while a market participant assuming higher margins would view the relative impact of the royalty as less significant.
The sensitivity analysis reflects a range of reasonable market perspectives on both the extent of the uplift arising from the expansion in addressable market and the degree to which that uplift is moderated by the royalty structure. It does not represent a single point estimate of future performance or a forecast of operating outcomes.
9.2.7 Conclusion on the value of Invion post-Proposed Transaction based on the market-based approach
Having regard to the information set out above, and the sensitivity range presented, we consider it appropriate to adopt a value in the range of $0.1065 to $0.1981 per Invion share on a minority interest basis for the purposes of the analysis set out in this Report.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
For completeness, we note that Invion's ability to progress its development programs toward commercialisation remains dependent on the availability of funding to support ongoing and future clinical trials. While the valuation reflects the expansion in long-term commercial opportunity arising from the Proposed Transaction, it does not explicitly model the quantum, timing or terms of any future capital raisings or partnering arrangements that may be required. The need to secure such funding represents a key source of execution risk and may affect both the timing and magnitude of value realisation, including through further dilution. This risk is implicitly reflected in the valuation through calibration to observed market pricing of Invion's shares prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, which forms the basis for the pre-Proposed Transaction enterprise value to which the uplift has been applied for our post-Proposed Transaction valuation.
9.3 Replacement cost cross-check
For the purposes of this cross-check, we have considered the economic effort required to replicate Invion's position following the Proposed Transaction, comprising:
- The historical cost incurred to acquire and maintain contractual rights to the Photosoft™ IP; and
- The cumulative research and development expenditure undertaken to progress Photosoft™-dependent compounds to their current stage of development.
Together, these components reflect the minimum investment a third party would be required to incur to acquire access to the Photosoft™ technology and advance it to a comparable level of technical and clinical maturity.
The economic value of Invion's Photosoft™ IP is realised through the development and potential commercialisation of drug candidates that rely on the technology for therapeutic effect. While the Photosoft™ IP represents the foundational technology, its relevance from a valuation perspective is dependent on the investment required to operationalise the platform and progress Photosoft™-dependent compounds to their current stage of development.
Although Invion has historically expensed its R&D activities as incurred, the cumulative R&D expenditure attributable to Photosoft™-dependent compounds provides a relevant benchmark of the economic effort required to advance the technology beyond its initial acquisition. From the perspective of a third party seeking to replicate Invion's position, both the acquisition of contractual rights to the Photosoft™ IP and the subsequent development expenditure would be required to reach a comparable level of technical and clinical maturity.
For completeness we note that Management has advised that, aside from the R&D activities undertaken by Invion under its existing arrangements, the current owner of the Photosoft™ technology has not undertaken any material additional R&D that would give rise to incremental value beyond that reflected in Invion's historical investment.
Table 9.7 summarises Invion's historical acquisition and development expenditure in relation to the Photosoft™ platform. Taken together, this cumulative investment (approximately $29 million) provides an indication of the economic effort required to replicate Invion's current IP position and serves as a benchmark for assessing the reasonableness of the valuation outcomes derived under the market-based approach.
Table 9.7: Summary of Invion's investment in Photosoft™ IP rights
| 5000's | FY18 | FY19 | FY20 | FY21 | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | Dec-25 | Total |

| Acquisition expenditure | 5,500 | - | - | - | 7,250 | 2,500 | 900 | - | 16,150 | |
| R&D expenditure | 1,560 | 1,520 | 2,323 | 2,898 | 2,691 | 1,290 | 756 | 13,038 | ||
| Cumulative investment in Photosoft™ | 5,500 | 5,500 | 7,060 | 8,580 | 18,153 | 23,551 | 27,142 | 28,432 | 29,188 | 29,188 |
Source: Invion Annual Reports FY18, FY20-FY25, Management, BDOCF analysis
We note that Invion's cumulative historical acquisition and development expenditure on the Photosoft™ platform is between the lower end ($22.4 million) and the mid-point ($34.4 million) of the post-Proposed Transaction enterprise value range. While replacement cost is not relied upon as a valuation methodology, this proximity provides corroborative support that the valuation does not imply an implied IP value materially in excess of the economic effort required to establish and develop the platform to its current state.
For completeness, we note that the majority of development expenditure was incurred under the legacy arrangements where development activities were undertaken on behalf of RMWCG and Invion's long-term access to, and control over, the Photosoft™ technology was not assured. As a result, the economic relevance of this cumulative expenditure is more appropriately assessed in the post-Proposed Transaction context, where Invion holds exclusive, perpetual global rights to the relevant IP and is able to fully internalise the benefit of that historical development effort.
9.4 Guideline comparable cross-check
We have undertaken a guideline comparable cross-check focused on the implied market value attributed to Invion's intangible assets, in particular its Photosoft™ IP. Given Invion's early-stage, pre-revenue profile, and the absence of profitability in the near to medium term, conventional earnings-based valuation multiples are not meaningful.
This analysis is not relied upon as a primary valuation methodology. Rather, it is intended to provide a relevant reference point as to whether the valuation outcomes derived under the market-based approach are broadly consistent with observable market metrics for early-stage biotechnology companies with comparable therapeutic focus and stages of development.

9.4.1 Invion implied aggregate IP value
We have calculated Invion's implied IP value as enterprise value less net tangible assets ('NTA'). This approach is commonly applied to early-stage biotechnology companies where R&D expenditure is expensed as incurred and book values therefore do not reflect the economic value of technology platforms, pipeline progression or embedded optionality.
Invion's NTA is negative (approximately $2.0 million) per the December 2025 Management accounts, such that its implied IP value is mechanically greater than its enterprise value. This outcome is not unusual among early-stage biotechnology companies and reflects the expensing of development activities rather than any distortion in valuation.
Based on the enterprise values derived in Section 9.2.1 and 9.2.5, Table 9.8 summarises Invion's implied IP value before and following the Proposed Transaction.

9.4.2 Comparator group
The comparator group applied for this analysis is described in Appendix D and comprises listed biotechnology companies with broadly comparable characteristics to Invion, including a primary oncology focus, early-stage clinical development (generally Phase I to Phase II), limited or no recurring operating revenue, and value primarily derived from proprietary IP and pipeline optionality.
Table 9.9 below sets out the enterprise value, NTA and implied IP value for the selected comparator companies described in Appendix D. As outlined above, the implied IP has been calculated as enterprise value less NTA and is used as a proxy for the market value attributed to each company's intangible assets, including proprietary technology platforms, pipeline optionality and accumulated development programs.
For completeness, we have adjusted the enterprise values of each of the comparable companies in Table 9.9 to reflect a control premium, allowing for a like-for-like comparison with our estimation of Invion's EV. For further discussion of control premia, refer to Appendix B.

9.4.3 Comparison of Invion's implied IP relative to peers
This section considers Invion's implied IP value in absolute dollar terms relative to the distribution of implied IP values observed across the selected comparator group. The purpose of this analysis is to assess whether the valuation outcomes imply an aggregate value for Invion's intangible assets that appears out of proportion to those attributed by the market to comparable early-stage biotechnology companies at similar or more advanced stages of clinical development. This comparison is intended as a scale and positioning sense-check, rather than a point-estimate valuation of Invion's IP.
Visual comparison of the aggregate IP value
To aid this interpretation, Figure 9.2 illustrates the implied IP values for each comparator company alongside Invion's implied IP range prior to and following the Proposed Transaction. The figure is intended to provide a visual sense-check of Invion's relative positioning with the peer group, having regard to their stage of development, rather than imply precision or point-estimate comparability.

Figure 9.2: Implied market value of Invion and comparator group IP

Source: Capital IQ as at 18 February 2026, data retrieved 19 February 2026, BDOCF analysis
Across the comparator set, implied IP values generally increase with clinical maturity and pipeline breadth, with earlier-stage companies with narrower pipelines observed at the lower end of the range and companies with more advanced or diversified programs attracting higher market-attributed IP values, reflecting differences in perceived technical, clinical and execution risk.
Prior to the Proposed Transaction
Invion's implied IP value prior to the Proposed Transaction (approximately $15.1 million to $29.2 million) sits toward the lower end of the observable peer range illustrated in Figure 9.2. In our view, this positioning is broadly consistent with Invion's historical profile, including:
- Its early-stage clinical development status, with assets primarily in Phase I to early Phase II;
- Its historically constrained territorial rights under legacy licensing arrangements; and
- Its relatively narrow pipeline compared to certain peers described in Appendix D.
Across the comparator set, implied IP values range from $15.7 million to $80.2 million (refer to Table 9.9 and Figure 9.2). Companies at the lower end of this range, such as Chimeric Therapeutics Limited (implied IP value of -$15.7 million) and Amplia Therapeutics Limited (implied IP value of -$17.9 million), are generally characterised by earlier stage development profiles, with assets predominantly in pre-clinical or early Phase I trials and comparatively narrow pipelines. These characteristics are typically associated with higher development risk and lower market-attributed intangible value.
At the upper end of the range, Imugene Limited and Radiopharm Theranostics Limited exhibit implied IP values of approximately $80.2 million and $62.0 million, respectively. These companies have multiple oncology-focused assets progressing through Phase I and Phase II clinical development, broader pipelines spanning several indications, and, in some cases, more advanced clinical datasets. These attributes support higher implied valuations of intangible assets relative to earlier-stage or less diversified peers.
Post the Proposed Transaction
Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, Invion's implied IP value increases to a range of approximately $24.4 million to $48.5 million, reflecting the expansion of Invion's territorial rights to exclusive, perpetual global rights for certain oncology, and infectious disease indications. This represents a material expansion of Invion's territorial position relative to its prior, more constrained licensing arrangement, resulting in Invion moving toward the middle of the observable peer range illustrated in Figure 9.2.
Notwithstanding this uplift, Invion remains at an earlier stage of clinical progression relative to certain peers with more advanced datasets or broader and more diversified pipelines. Consistent with the comparator group, Invion will be responsible for ongoing R&D expenditure. However, Invion will also be subject to royalty and revenue-sharing arrangements which may reduce the proportion of future economic value attributable to equity holders relative to some broadly comparable companies.
9.5 Share transaction cross-check
Invion's shares have remained listed on the ASX and have continued to trade following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction on 3 December 2025, providing an observable reference point for the market's reaction.
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
Over the period from 3 December 2025 to 18 February 2026, Invion’s shares have traded at a daily VWAP in the range of $0.081 to $0.1013 with an overall VWAP for the period of $0.092 (refer Table 5.7). By comparison, in November 2025 (the month immediately preceding the announcement of the Proposed Transaction) the daily VWAP range was $0.076 to $0.087 with a period VWAP of $0.083. This suggests that the market may have attributed incremental value to the transaction relative to Invion’s pre-Proposed Transaction position. However, post-announcement trading prices remain materially below the upper end of the valuation range derived under the market-based approach set out in Section 9.2 above.
In our view, the difference between observed post-announcement trading prices and the upper end of the valuation range may be explained by a number of factors, including:
- The Proposed Transaction has not yet completed and remains subject to shareholder approval and other conditions. Until completion occurs, the market may apply a discount to reflect completion and execution risk;
- The progression of Invion’s development programs will require substantial funding over time. Market pricing may reflect concerns regarding the quantum and timing of future capital requirements and the potential for dilution if funding is not secured on favourable terms. By way of example, we note that the 2026 Convertible Notes allow the holder to convert at a share price between $0.09 and $0.11 and the Company has indicated its intention to raise additional capital in the near term. In circumstances that the share price does not increase materially, shareholder may be diluted by further capital at prices closer to the prevailing share price;
- While the Proposed Transaction materially expands Invion’s TAM through the acquisition of exclusive, perpetual global rights for certain Licensed Indications, this expansion does not directly translate into near-term financial outcomes. The relevance of the increased TAM is inherently long-dated and contingent on successful development progression;
- Potential monetisation may occur through direct commercialisation, sublicensing and/or revenue-sharing arrangements. There is uncertainty regarding the form, timing and economics of any such arrangements. Market participants may be cautious in attributing value to Invion until greater clarity emerges on potential pathways; and
- While post-announcement trading volumes are meaningful, they represent a limited proportion of shares outstanding. Short-term trading prices may reflect sentiment and incremental positioning rather than a fully informed reassessment of long-term value.
9.6 Conclusion on the value of Invion following the Proposed Transaction
Having regard to the analysis set out above, we consider it appropriate to adopt a value for Invion ordinary shares in the range of $0.0800 to $0.1981 per share on a minority interest basis following the Proposed Transaction.
In forming this view we considered:
- Our market-based valuation framework following the Proposed Transaction builds upon the Company’s pre-Proposed Transaction value and reflects the expansion in its long-term commercial opportunity. We consider this valuation the best comparison to our pre-transaction valuation methodology. In considering this valuation methodology, we note that the pre and post low valuation ranges are directly comparable and vice versa with the high end of the valuation range. For example, if the pre-transaction share price for Invion was at the high end of our range based on observable share data, we would expect the market’s perception of higher value to also flow through to the post-transaction share price (i.e. and it will also be at the upper end);
- The progression of Invion’s development programs will require substantial funding over time. We note that the 2026 Convertible Notes allow the holder to convert at a share price between $0.09 and $0.11 and the Company has indicated its intention to raise additional capital in the near term. In circumstances that the share price does not increase materially, shareholder may be diluted by further capital at prices closer to the prevailing share price. We have reduced the lower end of our valuation to $0.08 (based on the lower share trading values in the period post announcement of the Proposed Transaction) to allow for uncertainty associated with the prices that future capital may be raised at;
- As set out in Section 9.3 and 9.4, we have also undertaken a replacement cost and guideline comparable cross-checks to assess the reasonableness of the valuation outcomes derived under our market-based approach. The replacement cost cross-check in Section 9.3 considers the historical acquisition and development expenditure incurred to establish and progress the Photosoft™ platform, while the guideline comparable analysis in Section 9.4 assesses the implied IP value of Invion pre- and post-Proposed Transaction relative to values observable among a peer group of comparable companies. While neither of these cross-checks has been relied upon as a primary valuation methodology, together they provide support for the reasonableness of the valuation outcomes derived under our market-based approach; and
- While we acknowledge that the valuation range is wide, we don’t consider it unreasonable and note that the values of companies like Invion can move materially based on the operational milestones met or missed.

APPENDIX B: CONTROL PREMIUM ANALYSIS
A controlling interest in a company is usually regarded as being more valuable than a minority interest as it provides the owner with control over the operating and financial decisions of the company, the right to set the strategic direction of the company, control over the buying, selling and use of the company's assets, and control over appointment of staff and setting financial policies.
The increase in value for a controlling interest is often observed where an acquirer launches a takeover bid, or some other mechanism for control, for another company. For the purposes of our research on control premiums, we have defined a controlling interest to be an interest where the acquirer has acquired a shareholding of greater than 50% in the target company.
Generally, control premiums may be impacted by a range of factors including the following:
- Specific acquirer premium and/or special value that may be applicable to the acquirer;
- Level of ownership in the target company already held by the acquirer;
- Market speculation about any impending transactions involving the target and/or the sector that the target belongs to;
- The presence of competing bids; and
- General market sentiment and economic factors.
To form our view of an appropriate range of control premium applicable to Invion for the purposes of this Report, we have considered information which includes:
- Recent independent expert's reports which apply control premiums in the range of 20% to 40%;
- Various industry and academic research, which suggests that control premiums are typically within the range of 20% to 40%;
- Our own research on control premiums implied by the trading data of ASX listed companies. The average and median control premium found in our research are approximately within the range of 20% and 40%, based on one-day, one-week, and one-month prior trading prices;
- Various valuation textbooks; and
- Industry practice.
Having regard to the information set out above, in our view, it is appropriate to consider control premiums within the range of 20% to 40% for the purposes of assessing the Proposed Transaction within the context of this Report.

APPENDIX C: OVERVIEW OF THE LICENSE AGREEMENT
On 3 December 2025, Invion entered into the Licence Agreement with NGPDT IP, under which Invion will receive exclusive, perpetual global rights to the Photosoft™ technology. The following section covers the key terms associated with the License Agreement in support of our analysis of the Proposed Transaction set out in Section 4, and our valuation of Invion set out in Section 8 and Section 9. This section is set out as follows:
- Section C.1 summarises the consideration offered by Invion under the License Agreement
- Section C.2 summarises the expansion of Invion’s rights to commercialise under the License Agreement;
- Section C.3 summarises the expanded scope (by territory and disease indication), that Invion will have access to commercialise under the License Agreement;
- Section C.4 summarises the funding arrangements between Invion, NGPDT IP and third parties in relation to the production of drugs using the Photosoft™ IP under the License Agreement;
- Section C.5 summarises the economic arrangements (being cost and earnings sharing, and royalties) under the License Agreement; and
- Section C.6 sets out other key considerations relevant to Invion under the License Agreement.
C.1 Consideration offered
Under the License Agreement, Invion will issue 36,705,966 fully paid ordinary shares to RMWCG, in exchange for the expansion of their rights to Photosoft™ IP. The shares will be issued in three equal tranches of 12,235,322 shares, subject to the achievement of respective milestone triggers summarised in Table C.1 below.
Table C.1: Consideration offered
| Tranche | Shares Issued | Milestone trigger |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12,235,322 | All conditions precedent to the transaction (as set out in Section 4.3) are satisfied |
| 2 | 12,235,322 | First patient dosed in an IND-enabled Phase II clinical trial in any human cancer indication covered by the Agreement |
| 3 | 12,235,322 | First patient dosed in either: |
| ▶ A second (distinct) Phase II clinical cancer study, or | ||
| ▶ A Phase III/pivotal cancer study |
Source: The License Agreement, BDOCF analysis
Having regard to Table C.1, we note:
- Tranche 1 is payable upon completion of the Proposed Transaction and is not contingent on clinical development outcomes;
- Tranche 2 is contingent on the commencement of an IND-enabled Phase II clinical trial, being the dosing of the first patient following submission of sufficient pre-clinical safety, chemistry, manufacturing and controls and clinical protocol to the FDA prior to first-dosage of the trial.
Management have advised that achievement of this milestone is dependent on Invion’s ability to secure sufficient funding to progress to Phase II clinical development, noting that Invion is currently progressing a Phase I trial in NMSC and preparing for a further Phase I trial in anogenital cancer. Management considers the milestone to be scientifically achievable, subject primarily to funding availability; and
-
Tranche 3 is contingent on further clinical progression, being dosing of the first patient in either:
-
a second, distinct Phase II clinical cancer trial, which must be independent in design and conduct from the trial satisfied in Tranche 2 milestone; or
- a Phase III or pivotal cancer study, being a trial intended to provide the primary evidence required to support regulatory approval (noting that, in some circumstances, a single pivotal study supported by confirmatory evidence may be sufficient).
Management have advised that achievement of this milestone is dependent on both the availability of funding and successful progression through earlier clinical stages, including satisfaction of the Tranche 2 milestone.
If the conditions precedent (set out in Section 4.3) are not satisfied and the Proposed Transaction does not proceed, no consideration shares will be issued, and all tranches will be cancelled.
Consideration Shares in tranches 2 and 3 will remain unearned until either (a) the milestone occurs, (b) the parties amend the agreement or (c) the agreement is terminated.

C.2 Rights to commercialise
Invion will receive considerable expansion to their existing rights to commercialise drug products and drug substances under the License Agreement. In the License Agreement, to ‘commercialise’ is defined as:
“To register, use, market, distribute, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise commercialise the licensed products for the licensed indications in the licensed territories”
Where licensed products refer to complete drug products, that may treat the Licensed Indications, in the Licensed Territories as defined in the agreement (refer to Table C.2 below).
It is important to note the distinction between drug products and drug substances when assessing Invion with regard to the License Agreement. Broadly, the two can be described as follows:
- Drug substances are an active chemical compound manufactured in bulk that does the therapeutic job, but is not yet a finished medicine ready for patient administration. In the context of Invion, drug substances are compounds that rely on Photosoft™ technology for their development, such as INV043; and
- Drug products are finished products that are patient-ready, that uses a drug substance. A finished product means that the drug is properly formulated, dosed, packaged, labelled, and approved by the relevant regulatory body for a particular indication and territory.
At the time of this Report, Invion’s programs focus on drug substances (e.g. INV043) progressing toward eventual drug products. Commercialisation rights differ between the two distinctions.
Having regard to the distinction between the two drug designations, broadly, Invion’s commercialisation rights will include:
- Non-exclusive rights to manufacture drug substances (such as INV043) for licensed indications and territories. Invion’s rights regarding drug substances focus on the R&D and have a unique sales arrangement with NGPDT under the License Agreement (refer to Section C.5); and
- Perpetual, exclusive rights to commercialise finished drug products using Photosoft™ technology for defined indications and territories (see Section C.3 below). Invion also will obtain exclusive worldwide distribution rights for those products. Further, Invion will be permitted to sublicense Photosoft™ IP rights for a royalty fee payable to NGPDT IP.
C.3 Expansion of scope
Under the License Agreement, the scope of Photosoft™ drugs that Invion has the right to commercialise will increase materially from the legacy agreements, by indication group and territory. Table C.2 below summarised the Licensed Indications and Territories applicable to drug products under the License Agreement.
Table C.2: Commercialisation scope under the License Agreement
| Indication group | Indications | Territory included |
|---|---|---|
| Cancer (Human) | Anogenital | |
| Lung | ||
| NMSC | ||
| Nasopharyngeal | ||
| Oral | ||
| Brain | Global | |
| Cancer (Animal) | All animal forms of cancer, including those listed above | Global |
| Infectious & other diseases | Human Papilloma Virus | |
| Periodontal | Global (human & animal) | |
| Atherosclerosis | Atherosclerosis | AID Territories, with an option to expand² |
| Other infectious diseases | Except those listed above | AID Territories, plus USA, Canada and Hong Kong |
Source: The License Agreement, BDOCF analysis
1 Under the License Agreement, Invion received an option to purchase the rights to expand commercialisation of Atherosclerosis drugs into the USA, Canada and Hong Kong for a fee of $1.0 million. As at the time of this Report, Invion has not exercised this option.
Having regard to Table C.2 and the License Agreement, we note that restrictions of scope include:
- Any indication not listed above (we note that the License Agreement explicitly states that cosmetic and non-infectious skin disease applications are excluded from licensed indications); and
- Any territory outside of those listed for a given indication.
Any indication or territory, including any cancer type beyond the list of human cancers set out in Table C.2, is considered a reserved indication in the License Agreement and as such, controlled by the licensor (NGPDT IP). To expand, by indication or territory from what is listed in the table above, the agreement must be amended (i.e. a negotiated expansion with NGPDT IP).

C.4 Funding arrangements
The development of a drug to bring it to market can take a significant amount of time, and require significant resources. In prior agreements, Invion has received the majority of their funding for R&D expenses from RMWCG. In the License Agreement, the responsibility for funding and executing phases of drug development has been separated between Invion and NGPDT, as broadly summarised in Table C.3 below.
Table C.3: License Agreement funding arrangements
| Phase | Steps included | Role of Invion & NGPDT |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery and research, up to lead compound selection | ▸ Target identification | |
| ▸ Compound synthesis | ||
| ▸ Screening activities | ||
| ▸ Early proof-of-concept work | ▸ NGPDT is responsible for undertaking and funding all activities in this phase. | |
| ▸ Invion does not reimburse NGPDT for any associated costs. | ||
| ▸ Invion retains decision-making authority with respect to the selection of the lead compound | ||
| Development research (post-selection of lead compound) | ▸ Non-clinical studies | |
| ▸ Clinical trials across Phases I-III | ||
| ▸ Regulatory submissions | ||
| ▸ Commercialisation planning activities. | ▸ Invion undertakes and funds all development activities for Licensed Products, Indications and Territories. | |
| Chemistry, manufacturing and controls | ▸ Process development | |
| ▸ Analytical method development | ||
| ▸ Preparation of technical and regulatory documents relating to the drug substance for regulatory purposes. | ▸ NGPDT is responsible for executing and funding all CMC activities for the Drug Substance. | |
| ▸ NGPDT must maintain an appropriate manufacturing panel and provide technology transfer support. | ||
| ▸ If NGPDT or the appointed panel fails to deliver contracted supply, NGPDT is required to transfer the relevant manufacturing methods and know-how to Invion | ||
| Manufacturing (Drug substance) | ▸ Manufacturing batches of the lead compound | ▸ Manufacturing may be undertaking by a contracted manufacturer nominated by NGPDT or Invion, subject to governance process set out in the License Agreement |
| ▸ On a batch-by-batch basis, costs will be divided between Invion and NGPDT via a cost-share agreement (refer to Section C.5) | ||
| Manufacturing and commercialisation of the final product | ▸ Manufacturing of the finished drug product | |
| ▸ Commercialisation and bringing the product to market | ▸ Invion is responsible for nominating a manufacturer, and receives all profit (post-royalty payments) from sale of the drug |
Source: The License Agreement, BDOCF analysis
C.5 Economic Arrangements
Based on the type of product and the stage of development, there are a range of revenue and profit-sharing arrangements between Invion and NGPDT under the License Agreement, as outlined below.
Sales of drug substances
During the manufacturing of a drug substance, a third-party may pose a willing buyer for a batch (or multiple batches) of the drug substance. Given that the funding of the manufacturing costs of drug substances is decided based on an arrangement on individual batch basis, proceeds from the sale of any drug substances will be divided in alignment with the funding of the batch. The cost and revenue sharing agreement is as follows:
- Should NGPDT IP participate in batch and pay the remaining 50% of the costs up front, the batch will be a 'joint batch', and any revenue from the sale of the drug substance manufactured in the given batch will be distributed evenly between Invion and NGPDT; conversely
- Should NGPDT IP not confirm participation and pay its 50% share, the batch will become an 'independent batch'. Invion will therefore fund the entire batch and subsequently receive all proceeds from a potential sale of the given batch. Invion also reserves the right to fund a batch entirely on its own, by which it would receive all proceeds from a potential sale.
Invion sets the selling price of the drug substance, however if the gross profit margin implied by the selected price is less than 30%, NGPDT IP must provide approval to the price before the sale is executed. Any taxes, including VAT or
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
similar incurred during the sale and not paid by the buyer will be shared in accordance with the split of funding of the batch.
Sale of licensed products
Under the License Agreement, Invion will receive all proceeds from the sale of licensed products, less a royalty paid to NGPDT IP. Royalties are to be paid from net sales on a quarterly basis, calculated as follows:
- Gross revenue from the sales of the licensed product, less:
- Returns, credits or allowances associated with the sale of the licensed product;
- Normal and customary trade, cash or quantity discounts (including price rebates and credits);
- Transportation costs associated with the sale;
- Write-offs for uncollectible amounts; and
- Government-mandated fees and taxes.
Invion will pay 10% of net sales from licensed products as a royalty to NGPDT IP. The royalty agreement will continue on a per-product and country basis, until the latest of:
- Patent expiry of the last-to-expire patent covering that product in that country; or
- 12 years after the first commercial sale of the product in the relevant country; or
- Loss of market exclusivity in the respective country (defined as generics by third parties gaining greater than 30% of combined sales, by revenue or unit volume, of the license product plus generic drug during any calendar quarter).
In situations where the licensed product is being sold in a time period and country where a patent is unapplicable, or Invion is prosecuting/maintaining a patent in the given country, the royalty rate will decrease to 5%.
Sub-licensing
The License Agreement permits Invion to grant sublicenses of multiple tiers to its affiliates and other third parties within the initially licensed indications and territories. Each sublicensee must adhere to the contractual conditions of the License Agreement.
Invion will be required to pass through to NGPDT IP, 20% of one-time payments (such as upfront costs, establishment fees, payments for milestones, and asset sale proceeds related to the licensed product) and 20% of any royalties Invion receives from the sub-licensees.
Sale of the rights
Under the License Agreement, Invion is permitted to sell part or all of its rights to the Photosoft™ technology to an acquiring third party. Upon acquisition of those rights, the third party will be subject to the same terms and conditions as Invion under the License Agreement, in the absence of an amendment.
It is important to note that, a sale of the Photosoft™ IP rights is classified as a one-off payment under the License Agreement (as described above). Accordingly, Invion would be required to pay 20% of the proceeds from the sale of those rights to NGPDT IP.
For completeness, if Invion itself were to be acquired, the acquirer would remain subject to the terms of the License Agreement (in the absence of amendment) and would not be required to make any one-off payment to NGPDT IP.
C.6 Other considerations
Other considerations of the License Agreement include the following:
- During the 12 months following the effective date, RMWCG will transfer all Photosoft™-related IP to NGPDT IP, and will provide support to Invion in line with the terms set out in the License Agreement;
- Upon commencement of the Licence Agreement, any R&D funding obligations applicable to RMWCG under legacy agreements will be dissolved;
- The License Agreement is backed by a security agreement, which features a personal guarantee from Mr. Cho and an option for Invion to acquire the entirety of the Photosoft™ IP at fair market value in an insolvency event or leadership change at NGPDT IP;
- The License Agreement includes permission for Invion to use and reference all of NGPDT's relevant clinical, non-clinical and regulatory data for the licensed indications and territories without charge, and NGPDT IP must make these available; and
- The Licence Agreement does not restrict the development of physical Photosoft™ device technology, with no associated royalties, licence fees or IP encumbrances, allowing each party to independently develop and own device-related IP.

APPENDIX D: OVERVIEW OF BROADLY COMPARABLE TRADING COMPANIES
This appendix summarises a group of exchange-listed biotechnology and life sciences companies that we consider to be broadly comparable to Invion. The analysis is presented as a guideline reasonableness cross-check to our primary valuation methodology as set out in Section 9, rather than as a standalone valuation basis.
This section is set out as follows:
- Section D.1 sets out the criteria used to screen for companies similar to Invion, and the selected broadly comparable companies;
- Section D.2 provides a summary of the product pipelines for each of the comparable companies; and
- Section D.3 summarises the financial information each of the broadly comparable listed companies we used in our guideline comparable cross check in Section 9.3.3, in addition to providing a brief description of each company.
D.1 Selected comparable trading companies
In our view, the valuation of Invion presents several features that require careful consideration when selecting comparable companies. No single listed entity exhibits a risk, asset, or development profile that is directly analogous to Invion. As such, we have screened for companies that exhibit similarity across selected qualitative dimensions, rather than full equivalence.
In determining the comparable company set, we had regard to the following key criteria:
- Therapeutic focus: Invion’s rights to commercialise Photosoft™ extend across multiple disease indications, with a primary focus on oncology. Accordingly, we screened for companies with a principal focus on oncology or oncology-adjacent therapeutic area;
- Stage of clinical development: Invion’s development portfolio comprises compounds that are at early clinical stages, primarily between Phase I and Phase II. Given the significance of clinical progression in determining biotechnology valuations, we screened for companies with lead assets at comparable stages of development;
- IP ownership: Invion holds proprietary rights to the Photosoft™ technology platform and underlying IP used in its development programs. Consistent with this profile, we screened for companies that own, or have exclusive rights to, the IP underpinning their lead development assets, rather than acting solely as licensees with limited control;
- Historical earnings: Invion does not currently generate revenue from commercial operations and has historically been loss-making. Consistent with this profile, we screened for companies with limited or no recurring revenues and ongoing operating losses; and
- Size: We have screened for companies that are similar sized to Invion as measured by market capitalisation.
Table D.1 below sets out the four companies we consider to be most comparable to Invion for the purposes of this Report, as well as providing an overview of relevant financial information. For completeness, we have made no adjustments for control premia to the market capitalisations of the companies set out in the table below.

D.3 Financial information of comparable companies
To benchmark our respective valuations of Invion pre and post the Proposed Transaction, we considered the implied market value of the IP of each of the comparable companies. This methodology is appropriate when a company holds a large portion of its total asset value in intangible assets, as is the case with Invion and each of the comparable companies.
We have calculated the implied market value of IP for Invion and each of the comparable companies as the difference between the respective company's NTA position and its EV. In our view, this figure provides an appropriate proxy for the market value of the IP, however we acknowledge that it is not a perfect estimate.
As detailed in Sections 9.2.1 and 9.2.5, our calculations of Invion's EV pre and post the Proposed Transaction were performed on controlling interest bases. As such, we have adjusted the respective enterprise values of the comparable companies to represent a 30% control premium. This adjustment reflected the fact that the market value of trading companies is generally on a minority interest basis, and therefore at a discount. This adjustment allows for a more like-for-like comparison between Invion (on a controlling interest basis) and companies in the comparator group.
Table D.3 sets out our estimation of each of the market value of IP for each of the broadly comparable companies, adjusted for a controlling interest basis.
Table D.3: Financial information of comparable companies
| Company | EV ($m) | NTA ($m) | Implied IP value ($m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imugene Limited | 95.3 | 15.1 | 80.2 |
| Radiopharm Theranostics Limited | 66.8 | 4.9 | 62.0 |
| Amplia Therapeutics Limited | 52.9 | 35.0 | 17.9 |
| Chimeric Therapeutics Limited | 11.9 | (3.8) | 15.7 |
| Average | 56.7 | 12.8 | 44.0 |
| Median | 59.9 | 10.0 | 40.0 |
| Minimum | 11.9 | (3.8) | 15.7 |
| Maximum | 95.3 | 35.0 | 80.2 |

Although the comparable companies set out above may be considered broadly comparable to Invion, several differences exist between Invion and each of the selected peers that may lead to variation in the market's assessment of the value of their respective IP assets and, by extension, differences in implied IP values. Specifically, we note:
13 APRIL 2026
INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT
BDO
- Source of income: The comparator companies differ materially in their sources of operating revenue. In FY25, Imugene Limited and Amplia Therapeutics Limited derived operating revenue solely from government R&D grants, while Radiopharm Theranostics Limited reported revenue from a service-based, R&D contract;
- Balance sheet size: The comparator group varies significantly in terms of balance sheet size and specifically, asset balances. Larger companies such as Imugene Limited and Radiopharm Theranostics Limited reported total assets of $83.6 million and $86.5 million, respectively, while at the end of Chimeric Therapeutics Limited and Amplia Therapeutics Limited and Syntara Limited reported total assets of $21.6 million to $22.9 million. Invion, with total assets of $9.5 million at FY25, is materially smaller than each of the selected comparators;
- Asset composition: In addition to differences in balance sheet size, the comparator companies exhibit materially different asset compositions. In particular, Invion's intangible assets represent a higher proportion of total assets relative to the peer group, whereas the comparator companies generally maintain more diversified asset bases comprising cash, receivables and property, plant and equipment;
- Access to capital: Companies with stronger balance sheets and greater access to capital are generally better positioned to fund ongoing development, clinical trials and regulatory activities that enhance the value of underlying IP. Conversely, more constrained funding pathways (such as Invion's reliance on specific funding facilities) may affect the pace of IP advancement and the market's assessment of its standalone value;
- Capital structure differences: Differences in outstanding options, warrants, convertibles or other dilutive instruments (such as Invion's significant outstanding option balance) can affect market capitalisation comparability and investor perception of equity value;
- Domicile and regulatory environment: The comparator companies operate across different regulatory jurisdictions, each with distinct approval processes, development costs and timelines. Regulatory complexity and jurisdictional risk can materially affect development certainty and commercialisation prospects, which in turn influence how the market prices the economic value of IP assets;
- Therapeutic modality and mechanism: While the selected peers are oncology-oriented, they employ materially different therapeutic modalities and mechanisms (e.g., radiotheranostics, cell therapy). These differences affect development risk, timelines, trial design, regulatory pathways and commercial adoption;
- Stage of development and maturity of evidence: The comparator companies are at different stages of clinical development. IP assets supported by more advanced clinical data or later-stage trials typically benefit from lower perceived development risk, which can support higher implied IP values relative to earlier-stage assets with more limited datasets;
- Target indication and commercial potential: Differences in target disease indications can materially affect the market's assessment of the commercial potential and value of underlying IP. Variations in disease prevalence, unmet need, competitive intensity and pricing dynamics influence addressable market size and revenue potential, which can lead the market to perceive differing values to IP assets across the comparator group;
- Pipeline breadth: Some comparator companies maintain broader pipelines comprising multiple IP assets or development programs. A diversified IP portfolio may reduce asset-specific risk and enhance optionality, supporting higher aggregate IP valuations compared with companies whose value is concentrated in a narrower set of assets;
- Target indications and trial design complexity: Differences in target indications (for example, solid tumours versus haematological malignancies) and trial strategies (including diagnostic-led versus therapeutic programs) influence development complexity, timelines, probability of success and addressable market size. These factors directly affect the market's assessment of the commercial potential and value of underlying IP;
- IP ownership and economic interest: Comparability is further constrained by differences in IP ownership and licensing arrangements, including whether IP is owned or licensed, the scope of rights, exclusivity provisions, and milestone or royalty obligations. These factors materially affect the economic interest retained in IP assets and can significantly influence their implied market value; and
- Reliance on external partnerships: As a smaller company, Invion is heavily reliant on partnerships with external parties within the biotechnology and health sciences sector to progress its drug assets toward commercialisation. Larger companies may be able to fund more of their R&D activities internally and will display varying performance in terms of financial results.
D.4 Share price trend of comparable companies post the announcement of the Proposed Transaction
Figure D.1 below presents the indexed share price performance of Invion and the selected broadly comparable companies over the period from 3 December 2025 (being the announcement of the Proposed Transaction) to 18 February 2026. Share prices have been indexed to 100 at 3 December 2025 and presented on a 7-day moving average basis to reduce short-term volatility and assist comparability.

Source: Capital IQ, BDOCF analysis
Over the period considered, share price movements across the comparator group have been varied, albeit generally trending downward over time.
Invion's daily VWAP increased by approximately 26% immediately following the announcement to $0.1013, indicating a positive initial market response. Thereafter, Invion's share price gradually declined over the period assessed. Notwithstanding this moderation, Invion's share price at the end of the period considered remained slightly above its closing price immediately prior to the announcement (being 2 December 2025 at $0.082).
Across the comparator group, performance was mixed. While certain peers experienced periods of short-term appreciation during January 2026, these movements were not sustained with all comparators ending at or below the indexed share price. The overall pattern reflects the inherent volatility typical of early-stage biotechnology and life sciences companies, where share prices are sensitive to funding developments, clinical progress and broader market sentiment.

APPENDIX E: OVERVIEW OF BLACK-SCHOLES OPTION VALUATION
This section sets out a discussion of our calculation of the value of Invion's issued options, using a Black-Scholes option valuation methodology, as discussed in our valuations set out in Section 8 and Section 9. This section is set out as follows:
- Section E.1 provides a brief overview of the methodology we used to value the Options
- Section E.2 summarises the key terms of the Options
- Section E.3 sets out our analysis of Invion's historical share price volatility
- Section E.4 sets out our valuations of the Options
E.1 Valuation methodology
Black-Scholes option valuation methodology
We considered several commonly used option pricing models to value Invion's options. After assessing their respective terms, we determined that the Black-Scholes option pricing model is the most appropriate methodology. The Black-Scholes methodology provides a robust and widely accepted framework, and is most appropriate for options without complex vesting criteria (market-based or otherwise), such as those issued by Invion.
As outlined in Section 5.3.2, Invion's outstanding options include options that were issued under Invion's ESOP program. Invion Management have advised that ESOP plan options have no special vesting conditions that may impede the accuracy of a Black-Scholes valuation. Management have also advised that options with a $0.00 exercise price were issued to employees in lieu of cash.
For consistency across our valuations of Invion pre and post the Proposed Transaction, we valued the Options at unique instances to best match the respective valuation, as follows:
- Our valuation of Invion with regard to the replacement cost methodology (Section 8.3.5);
- Our derivation of Invion's EV prior to the Proposed Transaction (Section 9.2.1); and
- Our valuation of Invion with regard to the TAM uplift methodology (Section 9.2.5).
Iterative share price calculation
Given Invion's significant number of Options on issue relative to the number of ordinary shares outstanding, it is appropriate to adopt a starting share price input for the valuation of the Options that appropriately reflects the dilutive impact of their potential exercise across the assessed equity valuation range.
By way of illustration, at higher points within the valuation range, the exercise of Invion's Options may result in material dilution to the value attributed value per ordinary share. In such circumstances, the dilutive effect of these Options may cause the implied share price to fall below the relevant exercise prices, rendering the Options out of the money.
Accordingly, a Black-Scholes valuation that adopts a static starting share price derived by dividing an assumed equity value by the number of ordinary shares outstanding would fail to appropriately reflect the dilutive effect of the Options. In turn, this may result in an overstatement of their value.
To address this circularity, our valuation of Invion's Options in Sections 8.3.5 and 9.2.5 adopts an iterative calculation methodology. Specifically, we have used Microsoft Excel's Goal Seek function in tandem with the Black-Scholes model to determine a starting share price input such that the implied value per ordinary share, after accounting for the dilutive effect of the Options, is consistent with the equity value per share determined in our respective equity valuations of Invion.
E.2 Key terms of the Options
The key terms of each class of the Options are summarised in Table E.1 below.

Having regard to Table E.1 above, we note that the various key terms vary significantly between each class of the Options. We have considered the unique terms to each class respectively when performing our valuation of the Options, as set out in Section E.4 below.
E.3 Invion share price volatility analysis
To derive an appropriate share price volatility input for the Black-Scholes methodology, it is necessary to consider that of the target company over a range of periods. It is also useful to consider historical share price volatilities observable among peer group companies over the same period. We have considered Invion's historical share price volatility for 1, 2, 3 and 5-year periods, as well as those of the companies in the comparator group (as set out in Appendix D).
We have observed Invion's historical share price volatility for the periods listed above as at 18 February 2026, being the most recent available data at the time of writing this Report. Table E.2 below sets out the results of our analysis.
Table E.2: Invion and peer group historical share price volatility as at 18 February 2026
| Comp. Minimum | Comp. Average | Comp. Median | Comp. Maximum | Invion | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Year | 73.3% | 121.2% | 93.9% | 211.2% | 96.0% |
| 2 Year | 71.5% | 106.4% | 92.6% | 169.5% | 194.5% |
| 3 Year | 76.5% | 99.3% | 89.3% | 146.6% | 183.0% |
| 5 Year | 80.7% | 94.7% | 89.2% | 119.9% | 159.5% |
| Average | 158.3% |
Source: Capital IQ as at 18 February 2026, data retrieved 19 February 2026, BDOCF analysis
Having regard to the volatility statistics set out in Table E.2 above, we note:
- For the 2, 3 and 5-year periods, Invion exhibits share price volatility that is significantly higher than the maximum value among the comparator group; and
- Over the 1-year period ending 18 February 2026, Invion's share price volatility has normalised, to be lower than the comparator group average, and broadly consistent with the comparator group median.
In our view, it is appropriate to adopt a volatility input to value Invion's options in the range of 100.00% to 140.00%. Having regard to our adopted volatility range, we note:
- The lower end of the range (100.00%) reflects the normalisation of Invion's share price volatility and has regard to expectations of future growth and a further stabilisation in Invion's share price; and
- The upper end of the range (140.00%) reflects Invion's historically elevated share price volatility. We also note that adopting Invion's historical 2, 3 or 5-year average volatility (194.54%, 182.99% and 159.54%, respectively) would imply option values that exceed levels suggested by observable market behaviour and would overstate value relative to economically realistic outcomes.
We note that, of Invion's approximately 83.6 million options on issue, approximately 65.9 million are quoted and trade on the ASX under the ticker ASX:IVXO. These options were issued in July 2025 and, as at the date of this Report, have traded only a limited number of times. In our view, the observed trading activity is insufficient to reliably derive a volatility input based on implied price volatility from the listed options themselves.

E.4 Valuation of the Options
E.4.1 Inputs
In valuing Invion’s options, we have classified the Black-Scholes valuation inputs into those common across all option classes and those that are specific to the terms of each individual class. The inputs applied in our Black-Scholes valuation are set out below:
- Valuation Date: 28 February 2026;
-
Starting share price: As we valued the Options on three separate instances, unique starting share price inputs were required, as follows:
-
Section 8.3.5: $0.0666 (low end) and $0.1140 (upper end), determined using an iterative calculation methodology as described in Section E.1 above;
- Section 9.2.1: $0.1040 (low end) and $0.1820 (upper end). To value the Options for the purpose of determining Invion’s pre-Proposed Transaction EV, we adopted the pre-Proposed Transaction share price valuation range determined in Section 8.4 as the starting share price input. In our view, an iterative calculation methodology is not necessary in this context, as the starting share price is derived from observable trading data and therefore reflects the market’s assessment of the dilutive effect of the Options; and
-
Section 9.2.5: $0.1065 (low end) and $0.1981 (upper end), determined using an iterative calculation methodology as described in Section E.1 above.
-
Volatility: 100.00% (low case) and 140.00% (high case). We have adopted a volatility range informed by analysis of Invion’s historical share price volatility, based on our analysis set out in Section E.3; and
- Annual dividend yield: Assumed to be nil, as Invion does not currently pay dividends and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future.
The class-specific inputs used in our valuation are as follows:
- Time to maturity: Each option class has a unique expiry date and therefore a unique time to maturity. Time to maturity has been calculated for each class as the period between the valuation date and the relevant expiry date;
- Exercise price: The applicable exercise price for each option class has been adopted as the exercise price input; and
-
Risk-free rate: As the options have differing remaining terms to maturity, we have adopted risk-free rates that best correspond to the remaining life of each class. Specifically, we have used yields on 2-year and 3-year Australian Government bonds as at the valuation date, sourced from the Reserve Bank of Australia. For options with a remaining term of less than 2.5 years, the 2-year rate has been applied, while the 3-year rate has been applied to options with a remaining term exceeding 2.5 years. The adopted rates are as follows:
-
2-year rate: 4.05%
- 3-year rate: 4.13%
Table E.3 below summarises the inputs specific to each class used in our valuation.

| Exercise Price | The exercise price of each Option is 14 cents (Exercise Price). |

| Rights to participate | Holders of Options do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company made to Shareholders generally during the currency of the Options without exercising the Option.

| ○ a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Option other than those expressly set out in the Option Plan; and | |
| ○ a Participant is not entitled to: | |
| ■ notice of, or to vote or attend at, a meeting of the shareholders of the Company; and | |
| ■ receive any dividends declared by the Company, |
69
| | by virtue of holding an Option.
• A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with an Option that has been granted to them unless the relevant dealing is effected by force of law on death or legal incapacity to the Participant’s legal personal representative. The Company may require that an Option be forfeited if a sale, assignment, transfer, dealing or grant of a security interest occurs or is purported to occur other than in accordance with the Option Plan.
• A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to an Option that has been granted to them.
• Each Option granted under the Option Plan must be registered in the appropriate register of the Company.
• Unless determined otherwise by the Board in its absolute discretion, an Option granted under the Option Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. |
| --- | --- |
| Who can participate? | The Board may from time to time determine that an ESS Participant may participate in the Option Plan (Eligible Participant). |
| How are Eligible Participants invited? | The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Option Plan by inviting the person to apply for the grant of Options. The invitation may be made on the terms determined by the Board, including as to:
• the number of Options for which the participant may apply;
• the date on which the Options are granted;
• the exercise price for the Options;
• the vesting conditions of the Options; and
• the forfeiture of the Options.
The Eligible Participant must return the application form duly completed and signed to the Company by the due date and time, together with a cheque for any amount payable in respect of the grant of the Options (if any). |
| How are Options granted? | After the Company accepts a duly completed application form, the Company will grant the relevant number of Options to the Participant, and issue a certificate evidencing the grant of the Options. |
| Will Options be listed on the ASX? | Unless determined otherwise by the Board in its absolute discretion, an Option granted under the Option Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. |
| Are there any vesting conditions? | The Board may determine in its sole discretion the nature of any vesting conditions. The vesting conditions will be contained in the invitation to participants. Options may not be exercised unless the vesting conditions (if any) have been met.
Options will vest when both of the following have occurred:
• the vesting conditions applicable to that Option have been determined by the Board (acting reasonably) to be satisfied, are waived by the Board, or are deemed to have been satisfied under the Option Plan; and |
70
| | • the Company has issued a ‘Vesting Notice’ to the Participant informing him or her that the Option has vested.
A vesting condition may, subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules (where applicable) and any other applicable laws and regulations, be waived by the Board by written notice to the relevant Participant and on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board and set out in that notice. |
| --- | --- |
| How are Options exercised? | After the Options have vested, the participant must give a notice of exercise to the Company and pay the exercise price (if any) prior to the expiry date of the Option, as specified in the invitation.
After a participant has validly exercised the Options, the Company will issue to the participant the number of Invion Shares the participant is entitled to through the exercise of the Options. |
| Are the Options transferable? | A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with an Option that has been granted to them unless the relevant dealing is effected by force of law on death or legal incapacity to the Participant’s legal personal representative. The Company may require that an Option be forfeited if a sale, assignment, transfer, dealing or grant of a security interest occurs or is purported to occur other than in accordance with the Option Plan. |
| Leaver and Forfeiture | Unless an invitation to a Participant provides otherwise, within 20 business days of a Participant becoming a Good Leaver, the Board may issue a written notice that certain Options will not be forfeited. Subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules (where applicable) and any other applicable laws and regulations, the Board may determine in its discretion that some or all of the Options retained by a Good Leaver are deemed to have vested.
Unless otherwise stated in the invitation to a Participant or determined by the Board in its discretion, all unvested Options held by a Participant will be forfeited on the date determined by the Board where that Participant becomes a Bad Leaver.
An Option will also be forfeited where:
• any applicable vesting conditions have not been met by the due date; or
• the Board determines a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or has wilfully breached his/her duties to the Company; or
• a participant becomes insolvent.
The Board has discretion to determine that, notwithstanding a forfeiture event, the Options are not forfeited. |
| Change of Control Event | Unless otherwise stated in the Invitation, notwithstanding any other provision of these Rules, if a ‘change of control event’ (which effectively is an event where a person acquires 50% or more of the issued capital, a voluntary winding up, a compulsory winding up or such other event determined by the Board in good faith) occurs, or the Board determines such event is likely to occur, the Board may in |
71
| its absolute discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Options (whether vested or unvested) will be dealt with including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the ‘change of control event’. | |
|---|---|
| Adjustments | If there is a reorganisation of capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of capital), the rights of each participant will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules. |
If there is a bonus issue or pro rata issue (as those terms are defined under the ASX Listing Rules) the Board may determine that the exercise price (if any) for all Options issued under the Option Plan will be adjusted in the manner specified in ASX Listing Rule 6.22. |
| Can the Option Plan be amended? | The Board may at any time amend the Option Plan, including the terms and conditions upon which any Options have been granted under the Option Plan.
However, no such amendment may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any holder of Options issued to them prior to the date of the amendment, other than an amendment that is introduced primarily:
• for the purpose of complying with or conforming to present or future legislation governing or regulating the maintenance or operation of the Option Plan;
• to correct any manifest error or mistake;
• to allow the implementation of an employee share trust arrangement;
• to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications in respect of the plan including changes to applicable tax legislation or the interpretation of that legislation by a court of competent jurisdiction or any rulings from taxation authorities administering such legislation,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all participants adversely affected by the proposed amendment. |
| Who manages and administers the Option Plan? | The Option Plan is managed and administered by the Board. |
| Option Plan limits | • An Invitation for Monetary Consideration must comply with the applicable requirements of section 1100Q of the Corporations Act.
• At the time of making an Invitation for Monetary Consideration, the Company must reasonably believe that:
