Company Announcement
Dear Shareholders,
As Chairman of the Board it is my honour to welcome everyone to Imagion Biosystems’ Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.
Before attending to the formal business of the meeting, I’d like to make a few remarks about Imagion,
and what we achieved in 2025, and our outlook for the remainder of this year.
Imagion presents a real opportunity to change and improve how medical imaging can be used to
diagnose and treat cancer. By using tiny magnetic particles instead of radioactive isotopes we can
combine the high-resolution imaging capabilities of MRI with the precision of targeted detection. With
our MagSense® technology we are creating a new class of imaging agents that could be safer, more
effective, and better for patient management than what exists today as standard of care. And
therefore, as a business opportunity we believe our MagSense® technology stacks up well compared
to the current market. Conventional contrast media for MRI have limitations that will make it nearly
impossible to achieve the kind of targeted specificity that our MagSense® technology is
demonstrating. And while PET imaging has good sensitivity, it lacks resolution and requires complex
infrastructure logistics because the tracer needs to be made locally to the hospital. Combine those
limitations with the fact that there are 5 times as many MRI scanners in use globally compared to PET
scanners, we believe the competitive advantages that our MagSense® technology could deliver will
result in significant strategic partnering opportunities.
We began the 2025 financial year a restructured organisation with a reduced cost base, and renewed
sense of purpose to continue the development of our proprietary MagSense® molecular imaging
technology. By mid-year we had successfully charted a clear path to continue to advance the
development our lead asset - a product that could significantly improve diagnosis and treatment
planning for HER2 positive breast cancer patients.
In the second half of 2025, following successful funding activity, we continued marching towards the
key milestone of submitting our first Investigational New Drug application, which was submitted in
January 2026. For those shareholders that might not be intimately familiar with the biotech and
pharmaceutical regulatory process, let me just say that filing an Investigational New Drug application
with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is a significant achievement. The submission encompasses
an extensive body of preclinical data, manufacturing and quality controls, as well as detailed clinical
trial protocols and procedures. This successful submission represents a highly complex,
resource-intensive milestone that underscores both scientific rigor, and execution capability.
Some initial administrative requests from the FDA were addressed in April 2026 and our application
for use of our MagSense® imaging agent in a Phase 2 study is now in the final stages of review by the
FDA. We anticipate being able to initiate the Phase 2 study as early as June 2026, subject to allowance
by the FDA.
In parallel to the IND submission, we have continued to make good progress in preparing for our
planned Phase 2 clinical trial. In addition to our clinical trial protocol optimisation and our
manufacturing activities through 2025, we have already identified multiple clinical sites that have
confirmed interest in participating in the study, and so our main focus for the 2nd half of 2026 will be

to open the study for enrolment and complete the first cohort of patients. There will be ample
opportunity to keep our shareholders apprised as the study progress.
While our core focus is our lead asset for HER2 breast cancer, it is important to acknowledge that the
technology has the potential for so much more. With both prostate cancer and ovarian cancer agents
as potential future indications in our pipeline, we believe there is significant upside for shareholder
value and strategic interests as and when we advance those towards the clinical.
Our MagSense® technology continues to show real promise as a first-of-its-kind breakthrough in
medical imaging with tremendous commercial potential.
We have been highly efficient in achieving the regulatory filing for the HER2 product with limited
resources and capital and now need to continue the development of our most reduced risk asset to
capitalise on its very commercially attractive opportunity. We are currently working on our funding
strategy for the Phase 2 clinical trial, and I encourage all our shareholders and interested investors to
review the updated investor deck we have lodged with the ASX today, which provides further context
on Imagion and our growth potential.
We remain steadfast in the belief that continuing to invest in the technology may result in meaningful
shareholder value, as well as improved patient outcomes. We look forward to delivering on our plans
through 2026.
My sincere thanks to all our shareholders and stakeholders for their support and I look forward to
keeping you up to date as things progress this year.
