Immuron Letter to Shareholders – Projects Update

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC; NASDAQ: IMRN), an Australian based and globally integrated biopharmaceutical company is pleased to provide shareholders with a brief update on progress with a number of projects.

As announced on July 17, Immuron achieved record sales up to Financial Year ending June 30, 2025.Immuron is on track to exceed FY24 first quarter sales. First quarter FY25 sales will be reported inmid-October.Please note that Travelan®is imported into the United States from Australia as a dietary supplement. It is not a pharmaceutical product and is not anticipated to be impacted by announcements regarding tariffs on pharmaceutical products.

Immuron has three therapeutic products under development: IMM-124E (Travelan®) for traveler’s diarrhea; IMM-529 for Clostridioides difficile infection and IMM-986 for Vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

Immuron reported on May 30 that we anticipated the final visit of the Last Patient for the Uniformed Services University Travelan®field study would be in July 2025 with topline results to follow in October 2025. The Company continues to anticipate topline results of this trial will be released inOctober 2025.

It is hoped that this trial will enable Travelan®to be recommended in traveler’s diarrhea guidelines thereby increasing its market potential as well as enhancing the long standing relationship with the US Department of Defense.

Following these results Immuron will request the end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA forIMM-124Ewhich all act as a precursor to commencement of a Phase 3 clinical program.

Immuron is progressing with a new Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate the clinical development ofIMM-529for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and prevention of recurrence of CDI.

Immuron reported on September 16 that we anticipated IND submission to the FDA by the end of September 2025. Immuron now anticipates submission inmid-October 2025. Approval of this IND submission by the FDA is a precursor to commencement of a Phase 2 clinical program.

Immuron reported on September 16 that it anticipated launch of ProIBS in Q1, calendar 2026. Immuron now anticipates a limited launch inQ4, calendar 2025with a full launch in Q1, calendar 2026.

ProIBS®is a European certified medical product for the treatment of symptoms related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) such as abdominal pain, bloating and changes in bowel movement (i.e., diarrhea and/or constipation). Immuron has listed ProIBS®in Australia as a listed complementary medicine. Immuron is purchasing the product fromCalminoand anticipates making a gross margin typical for a consumer health product in Australia. The IBS treatment market in Australia is estimated to be a part of the broader “Digestives & Intestinal Remedies” market, generating a revenue of aroundA$221 millionin 2025, with a projected annual growth rate of 3.28%.

On January 5Immuron reported a research collaboration with Monash University to develop a new therapeutic against Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Immuron has named this drug candidateIMM-986. VRE antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to healthcare systems worldwide. AMR can lead to more severe and harder-to-treat infections in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and nursing homes. These infections often result in longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased mortality rates. In the U.S., the estimated national cost to treat these infections exceeds $4.6 billion annually (CDC Antimicrobial Resistance Facts and Stats).

VRE-specific vaccines have been successfully developed and administered to animals. The VRE colostrum harvested from these immunized subjects has been processed into a freeze-dried powder for use in this program. Monash has completed the development of analytical assays to characterize the antibody response in IMM-529. Preliminary analyses have confirmed that IMM-986 exhibits high levels of reactive antibodies targeting vaccine VRE bacterial antigens, as demonstrated through endpoint ELISA and Western Blot assays. These findings indicate a robust antibody response to VRE. Further characterization of the specificity and broad-spectrum cross-reactivity of IMM-986-derived antibodies against other enterococcal strains is currently underway.

Monash are planning initial pre-clinical studies to be performed by theend of calendar 2025. Key milestone dates, including the anticipated timing of the initial pre-clinical study results, will be communicated in due course following the receipt of ethics approval.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
