New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Australian stocks, typically moving 15% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (89% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (AU$34m net loss in 2 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$5m (AU$3.9m revenue, or US$2.8m). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$54.1m market cap, or US$38.5m). Board Change • May 20

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 32% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 32% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (84% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Revenue is less than US$5m (AU$3.9m revenue, or US$2.9m).

Imugene Limited Announces Outstanding Response Rates from the Phase 1b Trial of the Azer-cel Allogeneic CAR T in 3L+ DLBCL Imugene Limited announced new data from its Phase 1b clinical trial evaluating azer-cel (azercabtagene zapreleucel) in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In February 2025, Imugene announced that a total of four out of seven patients had achieved a Complete Response (CR), defined as the disappear of all signs of cancer in response to treatment. Azer-cel is being developed as a potential allogeneic, off-the-shelf, CAR T-cell therapy, addressing key limitations of approved autologous CAR T drugs, including geographical access to treatment centres, manufacturing complexity and time to receive treatment (on-demand). Based on the updated response rate and maturing durability data, as well as having been awarded FDA Fast Track Designation for DLBCL in March 2025, Imugene will request a Type B (End of Phase 1) Meeting in Fourth Quarter 2025, with the US FDA to present the data and to discuss designs for a pivotal /registrational trial for azer-cel. The azer-cel allogeneic CAR T trial is an ongoing, open-label, multi-centre Phase 1b clinical trial in the U.S. and Australia, for CAR T relapsed patients with DLBCL. Treatment with azer-cel, lymphodepletion (LD) and IL-2 is showing promising results with evidence of meaningful clinical activity, and durability of response. Board Change • Feb 04

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: AU$150m Forecast net loss in 3 years: AU$8.3m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$111m free cash flow). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (AU$8.3m net loss in 3 years).

New major risk - Financial position The company has less than a year of cash runway based on its current free cash flow trend. Free cash flow: -AU$111m This is considered a major risk. With less than a year's worth of cash, the company will need to raise capital or take on debt unless its cash flows improve. This would dilute existing shareholders or increase balance sheet risk. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$111m free cash flow).

Imugene Limited Announces Promising Results from its Phase 1b Clinical Trial with Azer-Cel Imugene Limited announced promising results from its Phase 1b clinical trial with azer-cel (azercabtagene zapreleucel, an allogeneic off-the-shelf CD19 CAR T), in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). All enrolled patients had cancer that had returned following autologous CAR T therapy, a high unmet need for this patient population. Patients in the trial are being recruited across 15 leading cancer centres in the U.S. including, Columbia University, University of Minnesota, Emory, and Moffitt Cancer Centres and plans are ongoing to open up to 5 sites in Australia. Results: Evaluable: patients who qualify for at least their first 28-day scan; Overall response rate (ORR): the percentage of people in the study who have a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to the treatment as confirmed by scan; Responses: a complete response (CR) is defined as disappearance of all tumours; a partial response (PR) is defined as a reduction in tumours as confirmed by scan; Durability of Response (DOR): how long responses last. Nine (9) patients total from Cohorts A and B are considered evaluable (qualified for at least day 28 scan). One (1) patient (Cohort B) has been treated and is awaiting their 28-day scan: Of the 6 evaluable patients in Cohort A: 1 CR, 1 PR = 33% Overall Response Rate (ORR);1 CR = 17% CR; Durability of response was < 60 days; All patients no longer on trial. Of the 3 evaluable patients in Cohort B: 2 CRs = 67% ORR; 2 CRs = 67% CR; 1 Stable Disease (SD): On PET/CT scan imaging, patient’s tumour has decreased however, due to potential T-cell infiltration, noted an increase in signal intensity. This could represent pseudoprogression. The patient remains on trial and continues to be assessed for response at the follow up scans. Durability of response thus far: >120 days and >90 days (all patients are ongoing) All 4 patients (including 1 patient awaiting 28-day scan) continue on trial. The company will continue to enrol additional patients in Cohort B and follow patients for durability of response with the goal of providing a comprehensive package to the FDA for the potential Phase 2/3 registrational trial. Subject to patient recruitment, the company aims to provide an interim Phase 1b data update. If successful, azer-cel has the potential to become the first approved allogeneic CAR T cell therapy for blood cancer. Beyond studying its efficacy in blood cancers, in the future, Imugene plans to combine azer-cel with its novel onCARlytics program for the treatment of patients with solid tumours, opening a potentially large market for azer-cel in the 90% of cancer not classified as blood cancers.

New major risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$1m in revenue. This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-AU$111m). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (7.5% increase in shares outstanding). Breakeven Date Change • Jun 30

Imugene Limited Announce Enrolment Opened for Its Expansion Study in Bile Tract Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma) Patients Imugene Limited announced that enrolment has opened for its expansion study in bile tract cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) patients, having completed the fifth, high dose cohort in the intratumoural (IT) arm of the monotherapy dose escalation study evaluating its cancer-killing virus CF33-hNIS (VAXINIA). The expansion of the MAST (Metastatic Advanced Solid Tumours) Phase 1 trial is planned for 10 patients with bile tract cancers, after early positive responses were observed in gastrointestinal cancers, particularly in cholangiocarcinoma. Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the bile ducts. It is difficult to treat and generally responds poorly to immunotherapy drugs. One patient with cholangiocarcinoma who had failed three prior lines of therapy received a mid-dose of IT-administered monotherapy VAXINIA achieved a complete response, meaning the disappearance of all signs of cancer in response to treatment, with no known recurrence in more than 430 days. A second patient with cholangiocarcinoma, who has also progressed on prior drug therapies, achieved stable disease for more than four months upon receiving IV-administered VAXINIA. In November 2023, the FDA granted the VAXINIA MAST clinical program Fast Track Designation for the treatment of bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), which allows Imugene closer cooperation with the FDA to expedite the program and potential approval process. This designation followed the promising data detailing Phase 1 efficacy and tolerability. On Friday 12 April 2024, the Cohort Review Committee cleared the fifth cohort in the IT arm of the monotherapy dose escalation portion of the MAST trial, with no safety signals seen to date. In addition to the patients dosed in the monotherapy dose escalation portion of the trial, enrolment is ongoing for the VAXINIA and pembrolizumab combination portion of the trial, with 16 patients dosed to date. The multicenter, Phase 1, MAST trial commenced by delivering a low dose of VAXINIA to patients with metastatic or advanced solid tumours who have had at least two prior lines of standard of care treatment. With no safety signals identified to date, the trial has since progressed through the monotherapy dose escalation cohorts as well as the combination study, whereby VAXINIA is administered with well-known checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. CF33 oncolytic virus, developed by City of Hope, has been shown to shrink colon, lung, breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer tumours in preclinical laboratory and animal models. Further dose escalation to continue as long as no safety issues are observed. Annuncio • Mar 12
Imugene Limited Announces Phase 1 onCARlytics Solid Tumour Trial Advances to Combination Arm Treatment Imugene Limited announced that its Phase 1 clinical trial of CD19 oncolytic virotherapy drug candidate onCARlytics (on-CAR-19, CF33-CD19 HOV4) has cleared its first cohort within the intratumoral monotherapy arm of the study and is therefore ready to commence combination dosing solid tumour patients with CD19 targeting drug blinatumomab (Blincyto marketed by Amgen). Known as OASIS, the first-in-class clinical trial is targeting adult patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumours, and aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two routes of administration, intratumoral (IT) injection and intravenous (IV) infusion, either alone, or in combination with blinatumomab. The combination arm of the study will see onCARlytics combined with CD19 targeting bispecific monoclonal antibody blinatumomab (marketed as Blincyto by Amgen which currently is specifically approved only for liquid blood cancers). onCARlytics has the potential to target and eradicate solid tumours that otherwise cannot be treated with Blincyto therapy alone and will represent a paradigm shift in solid tumour treatment. OASIS is a dose escalation trial that will be conducted across multiple sites across the United States, with 52 patients proposed to take part in the trial. onCARlytics is a CD19-expressing oncolytic virus that enters tumour cells and forces them to express the CD19 protein on the cell surface, presenting a target for CD19 targeting therapies.
