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 British stocks, typically moving 9.3% 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 Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 25% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (135% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (UK£2.8m net loss in 2 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.3% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (UK£18.8m market cap, or US$25.2m). Announcement • May 13

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 135% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 25% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (135% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (UK£2.8m net loss in 2 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (UK£15.3m market cap, or US$20.7m).

IXICO plc Presents Automated Capabilities to Measure Brain Volume Loss on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Within its IXI Platform IXICO plc announced it has presented new demonstrating that automated capabilities to measure brain volume loss on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within its IXI Platform are at a minimum matching, and in some measures exceeding, the performance of semi-manual methods which require manual analysis by (human) experts. The accurate measurement of brain volume shrinkage (brain atrophy), caused by the loss of brain cells and the breakdown of connections between them, is fundamental to developing new treatments for a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's Disease (HD). Traditionally, researchers have relied on a semi-manual approach to measure brain volume loss, known as the Boundary Shift Integral (BSI) which is currently considered to be the 'gold standard' method of analysis. In a recent study conducted by IXICO and a large US pharmaceutical partner, the results show that automated capabilities to measure brain atrophy on MRI within its IXI Platform match or exceed the performance of the semi-manual BSI method, providing an advanced, cost-effective and scalable solution to support clinical trials in HD. Of the three approaches evaluated to measure brain atrophy, IXICO demonstrated it was the most sensitive method for detecting whole brain and caudate (a small region deep in the brain impacted early in HD) volume loss.

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: UK£7.07m (US$9.54m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization 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 Risks Earnings have declined by 64% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£7.07m market cap, or US$9.54m). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (UK£1.6m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.7% average weekly change). Announcement • Feb 06

IXICO plc Announces FDA Clearance of New Alzheimer's Disease Blood Based Diagnostic Biomarker IXICO plc outlined its role in the validation of a new Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnostic biomarker for client Fujirebio Diagnostics Inc. ("Fujirebio"), a global leader in the field of high-quality in vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing. The imaging analysis, conducted via IXICO's AI-driven platform, has supported Fujirebio's 510(k) FDA clearance for a new blood-based test that will help advance diagnosis and drug development in AD. The analysis included datasets from the Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation's Bio-Hermes-001 study, of which both Fujirebio and IXICO are partners. As Bio-Hermes' imaging partner, IXICO led the standardisation, collection and expert analysis of PET data which served as the gold standard assessment of amyloid pathology in Fujirebio's FDA filing. On 16 May Fujirebio announced that it received clearance for its Lumipulse®? G pTau 217/b-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) test for the assessment of amyloid pathology In adult patients, aged 50 or older, being evaluated for Alzheimer's disease and other causes of cognitive decline. The test, which was granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA, is the first FDA cleared blood-based IVD test in the U.S. to aid the identification of patients with amyloid pathology associated with AD. Fujirebio's FDA clearance is based on data from a multi-center clinical study of 499 individuals in which amyloid positivity derived from the Lumipulse G pTau217/ss-Amyloid 1- 42 Plasma Ratio has been shown to be sufficiently comparable with results obtained through amyloid PET scan or CSF tests. These findings indicate that the new blood test can reliably predict the presence or absence of amyloid pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease at the time of the test in patients who are cognitively impaired. The test is intended for patients presenting at a specialized care setting with signs and symptoms of cognitive decline. The results must be interpreted in conjunction with other patient clinical information. The analysis by IXICO corresponds to the announcement made by the Company on 27 February 2025 that it had won a contract with an, at the time, undisclosed multinational biotechnology company. IXICO is now able to confirm that this company was Fujirebio. The imaging element of the clinical trial conducted on behalf of Fujirebio marks an expansion in IXICO's neuroimaging biomarker analyses capabilities beyond therapeutic clinical trial assessment to the analysis and validation of clinical diagnostic biomarkers.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 14% 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 14% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£3.45m market cap, or US$4.38m). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.4% average weekly change). Announcement • May 08
