New Risk • May 16
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 44% 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (44% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (NZ$18m net loss in 2 years). Duyuru • May 15

Pacific Edge Seeks NZ$24 Million for Medicare Reinstatement and Cxbladder Expansion Pacific Edge has launched a NZ$24m capital raise, comprising an NZ$18m institutional placement and a NZ$6m retail offer at NZ$0.17 per share, alongside a temporary trading halt on the NZX and ASX.
The company plans to use the new capital to support efforts to regain US Medicare coverage for its Cxbladder bladder cancer tests, strengthen its balance sheet and continue product development following losses linked to the earlier Medicare non-coverage decision.
Pacific Edge has set 25 May 2026 for its FY26 results release and will host an investor call, with management flagging growing global uptake of Cxbladder tests and wider use among urologists and public health systems.
The capital raise and upcoming results date together frame a key period where investors will receive more clarity on how Medicare reimbursement efforts and global Cxbladder adoption are affecting Pacific Edge’s commercial trajectory and cash position.
A central risk to keep in mind is the company’s reliance on a positive Medicare coverage outcome, which remains unresolved and could materially influence future revenue mix and funding needs. Breakeven Date Change • May 12
Forecast to breakeven in 2028 The 2 analysts covering Pacific Edge expect the company to break even for the first time. New consensus forecast suggests losses will reduce by 5.2% per year to 2027.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: NZ$174.9m (US$99.9m) This is considered a minor 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 Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-NZ$32m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (8.4% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (NZ$16m net loss in 2 years).

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of New Zealander stocks, typically moving 6.8% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility 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. It may also indicate 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-NZ$32m free cash flow).

Pacific Edge Limited Announces Medicare Coverage of Cxbladder Tests in the US Market is Expected to Cease from 17 July 2023 Pacific Edge announces Medicare coverage of Cxbladder tests in the US market is expected to cease from 17 July 2023. This development follows the finalization of a Local Coverage Determination (LCD) (L39365) by Novitas, the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) with jurisdiction for Pacific Edge's laboratory in Hershey Pennsylvania. The finalized LCD, which includes Cxbladder and tests provided by other companies, specifically notes the Cxbladder tests Triage, Detect, Monitor, Resolve and Detect+ as `not considered medically reasonable and necessary', the threshold required for coverage under the US Social Security Act. A number of other companies are also affected by the LCD. Over the coming days Pacific Edge will seek to explore all available legal options (including a potential appeal) with US-based lawyers, the key opinion leaders among customers, partners at The Coalition for 21st Century Medicine, and other impacted companies. Pacific Edge is currently unable to fully determine the impact of the new LCD on test volumes in the US market for the 2024 financial year. For the immediate future, the company will continue to promote Cxbladder and process all tests ordered by US clinicians whilst it further considers its strategy and future options. The company believes that in the short term it is prudent to continue to support Cxbladder as it determines the best path forward, but the approach will be accompanied by cost containment initiatives including, but not limited to an immediate hiring freeze and a halt on discretionary spending and new capital expenditure. In light of this new LCD, management and the Board at Pacific Edge are reviewing the scenario planning commenced last year to determine a strategic path forward that potentially includes: a) legal challenges or appeals, b) seeking to regain coverage through Novitas, c) seeking to be awarded coverage through an alternative MAC, d) alternative billing practices that would increase patient responsibility and e) remaining open to other strategic alternatives. Which of these the company adopts, will be determined by considering a number of factors including the potential impact on revenue, expenditure and cash reserves, the time and resources required to regain coverage, shareholder value implications, and the expected likelihood of success.

Pacific Edge Announces the Acceptance for Publication of New Clinical Evidence That Shows Significant Improvements in the Performance of its Genomic Diagnostic Cxbladder Tests Pacific Edge announced the acceptance for publication of new clinical evidence that shows significant improvements in the performance of its genomic diagnostic Cxbladder tests. These performance improvements were achieved by the addition of DNA biomarkers to Cxbladder Triage (CxbT) and Cxbladder Detect (CxbD), Pacific Edge's products for hematuria evaluation. Pacific Edge also announced its intent to focus further clinical evidence generation efforts on the enhanced test, Cxbladder Detect+ (CxbD+), extending Pacific Edge's first mover advantage in providing best-in-class diagnostic tools for the detection and management of bladder cancer. The results of the study are to be published in the prestigious American Urological Association (AUA) Journal of Urology. The study enrolled 804 patients (344 from the US and 460 from Singapore), and the data shows an improvement in all performance characteristics over the existing versions of CxbT and CxbD. Notably, CxbD+ delivered Sensitivity of 97% (+23% compared with CxbD), Specificity of 90% (+8%), Negative Predictive Value of 99.7% (+2.5%), Positive Predictive Value of 44% (+19%) and Rule-out Rate of 83% (+5%). CxbD+ was developed including a Southeast Asian patient population, further strengthening the evidence for genomic biomarker tests in genetically diverse populations, and specifically validating Cxbladder for use in Southeast Asia. Pacific Edge expects no impact to revenue from existing products - commercial Triage and Detect customers will only be transitioned to CxbD+ after reimbursement is established. The company will continue to explore whether DNA markers will have a similar impact on the performance of Cxbladder Monitor for recurrence of disease. Major Estimate Revision • Dec 01

Pacific Edge Limited Announces It Is Advancing Its Clinical Evidence Generation Program with Lobster nPacific Edge Limited announced it is advancing its clinical evidence generation program with LOBSTER - a clinical study focused on demonstrating the clinical utility of Cxbladder Monitor for surveillance of recurrent urothelial cancer against the current American Urological Association (AUA) standard of care targeting existing guidelines language for greater inclusion of Cxbladder.Pacific Edge has contracted two sites, has initiated one site to date, and expects to enrol the first patient in LOBSTER this quarter. Cxbladder Monitor is a urine-based gene expression biomarker test for the surveillance of recurrent disease in bladder cancer patients. International peer reviewed publications1,2,3 have already shown the test's success in identifying those patients with a prior history of urothelial cancer that have a low probability of disease recurrence. By identifying these patients, healthcare providers are able to introduce a significant change in clinical practice, enabling all patients who test negative, to safely undergo cystoscopies at longer intervals than submitting to a cystoscopy at every visit, the AUA's current standard of care.This outcome significantly reduces the burden of invasive and expensive cystoscopic evaluations; spares patients the potential risks, discomfort and anxiety from cystoscopy, without compromising detection rates. It can also free up resources to be focused on patients most in need and facilitate compliance with cancer surveillance and management regimes. Board Change • Apr 27
