Operating & financial review
1. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the company during the half year focused on the ongoing clinical development of Xanamem®
(emestedastat), a unique inhibitor of the 11β- HSD1 enzyme that achieves target engagement in the brain. It is an oral
medication for neurological diseases amenable to its mechanism of controlling cortisol in brain cells. Brain cortisol is associated
with a number of neurological diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and
neuropsychiatric diseases like major depressive disorder (MDD).
2. OPERATIONS REVIEW
XanaMIA pivotal Alzheimer’s trial progress and commercial readiness preparation
Highlights
• Completed accelerated enrolment in the XanaMIA phase 2b/3 AD trial, randomizing the final (247th
) participant in
December 2025
• Received a positive interim safety and efficacy futility analysis recommendation from the trial’s independent Data
Monitoring Committee (DMC) on 30 January 2026 to continue the trial without amendment following a prior positive safety
review in November 2025
• Open‑label extension (OLE) phase of the XanaMIA trial to commence Q1 2026, allowing all participants access to active
Xanamem 10 mg once daily for a longer treatment period of up to 25 months
• Achieved a common understanding with the FDA on the pathway to marketing approval in AD, including agreement on the
streamlined design of one further pivotal AD trial of Xanamem 10 mg vs. placebo commencing in 2027
• Successfully completed a pharmacokinetic trial confirming that the intended commercial Xanamem formulation achieves
consistent and therapeutic blood concentrations under both fed and fasted conditions, supporting full dosing flexibility
• Completed commercial‑grade manufacture of 10mg Xanamem tablets at Catalent (USA) for use in the OLE phase of the
XanaMIA trial
• Continued commercial readiness activities, including refinement of communication materials for scientific, medical and
business audiences, and establishment of a new AD clinical advisory board
• Continued strengthening of IP protection through active national phase patent filings
• Launched Actinogen’s InvestorHub platform to facilitate direct investor engagement
• Received a total of $7.4 million R&D tax incentive cash rebate relating to expenditures in the 2025 financial year.1
XanaMIA phase 2b/3 AD Trial – Enrolment complete and positive interim analysis outcome
Enrolment for the pivotal XanaMIA phase 2b/3 Alzheimer’s disease trial was successfully completed in December 2025, with
247 participants recruited across 35 sites in the United States and Australia — exceeding the original target of 220. The trial
targets individuals with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease and elevated plasma pTau181, a diagnostic biomarker also
associated with faster disease progression.
A major milestone was achieved on 30 January 2026, when the trial’s independent Data Monitoring Committee completed its
fully confidential interim analysis. After reviewing unblinded safety and efficacy futility data covering approximately 37% of the
final dataset2
, the DMC recommended that the trial continue without amendment. All Actinogen staff and XanaMIA trial
personnel remain fully blinded to participant treatment assignment.
The positive interim assessment reinforces confidence in the trial design and supports progression to the topline final results
expected in November 2026, following the last patient’s final evaluation visit anticipated in September 2026.
Planning has now commenced for a second pivotal Alzheimer’s disease trial. This trial will be similar in design to XanaMIA but
larger in scale and is expected to commence in 2027 across multiple countries, including Australia, with the broader program
including a limited number of open-label and clinical pharmacology trials conducted in parallel.

XanaMIA trial open‑label extension (OLE) phase to commence in Q1 2026
The open-label extension phase of the XanaMIA AD trial will open during the current quarter (Q1 2026). The OLE allows all
participants from the blinded phase to receive Xanamem 10 mg once daily for up to 25 months. This long-term extension is
designed to provide access to active Xanamem therapy to all participants and gather extended safety data and observational
information on key efficacy endpoints — including CDR-SB,3
cognition, and activities of daily living.
Regulatory & development pathway
Actinogen’s regulatory position strengthened considerably following its Type C written response meeting with the US Food &
Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2025.
The FDA and Actinogen established a common understanding of the pathway to potential marketing approval for Xanamem in
Alzheimer’s disease, including agreement on regulatory starting materials, drug substance synthesis requirements, and the
streamlined design of one additional pivotal clinical trial of Xanamem 10mg vs. placebo, supported by a limited suite of clinical
pharmacology and non-clinical studies.
The agreements with the FDA’s Neurology-I Division mark a significant milestone for the company as it prepares for the earliest
possible US marketing approval submission and subsequent global regulatory filings. Very recently, the FDA announced a
policy change to accept one pivotal trial instead of two, provided there is adequate supportive evidence from other sources.
Actinogen will explore this opportunity with the FDA as soon as the current XanaMIA trial results are in hand.
A similar regulatory interaction with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) will occur in Q2 2026, followed by expected
engagement with other regulators. Actinogen’s FDA agreement is aligned with the increasing global urgency to find safer and
more effective Alzheimer’s disease therapies given the limited effectiveness of currently available treatments.
The FDA’s feedback also supports commercial and partnering discussions by providing external validation of Xanamem’s
late-stage development pathway and the feasibility of an efficient route to marketing approvals.
Successful pharmacokinetic trial
A clinical pharmacokinetic trial completed in August 2025 confirmed that the intended commercial Xanamem tablet formulation
achieves consistent therapeutic blood levels in both fed and fasted states. These results demonstrate full dosing flexibility—an
important consideration for real-world treatment adherence — and support continuation of the 10 mg once-daily dosing
regimen across all ongoing and planned clinical studies.
Manufacturing (CMC)
The company continued to advance its Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) program - a critical component of
late-stage clinical development. During the period, Actinogen successfully imported a scaled-up batch of drug substance into
the United States for commercial-grade tablet manufacture. Catalent (USA) subsequently used this material to produce 10 mg
tablets intended for the OLE phase and broader late-stage development requirements.
Commercial Planning & Partnering
Actinogen continued to invest strategically in its commercial readiness as the Xanamem program advances toward key value-
inflection milestones. Activities included refinement of communication materials for medical, scientific, investor and corporate
audiences, incorporating insights from independent market research and external expert input.
The company also convened its inaugural Alzheimer’s Disease Clinical Advisory Committee — comprising nine globally
recognised AD experts — to guide ongoing clinical and commercial planning.
Partnering engagement remains active, with growing interest from regional and global parties as the XanaMIA trial approaches
topline final results in November 2026 and now carries a positive DMC interim analysis recommendation.
Intellectual Property
The company continues to enhance long-term protection for Xanamem through active national-phase patent prosecution
covering novel methods of use, manufacturing processes, and chemical matter. These new applications are designed to
extend exclusivity well beyond statutory data-exclusivity periods. Together with existing granted patents, Actinogen maintains
a robust IP portfolio that supports commercial viability and future partnering or market entry.
Investor engagement
Actinogen launched its InvestorHub platform in September 2025 to strengthen transparency and extend direct communication
and engagement with investors. The site provides consolidated access to announcements, presentations and a direct Q&A
interface with company management.

R&D tax incentive rebate
The company received the final $1.9 million cash instalment of its FY25 R&D tax incentive rebate in early February 2026,
bringing the total FY25 R&D expenditure rebate received in FY26 to $7.4 million. These funds continue to provide valuable
non‑dilutive support for Actinogen’s late‑stage clinical development program.
Scientific, clinical and industry engagement
Actinogen maintained a strong presence at major scientific, clinical and investor conferences during the first half of FY26,
including the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC 2025) in Toronto, the Bioshares Biotech Summit in
Hobart, and the Canaccord Drug & Device Conference. In Q4 2025, the senior management team also participated in the BIO
Europe partnering conference in Vienna and the Bell Potter Virtual Healthcare Conference in Australia.
In January 2026, senior leadership attended the Sachs Neuroscience Innovation Forum in San Francisco and held extensive
meetings during JPM Week to broaden global networks and deepen interest in the company’s rapidly advancing Alzheimer’s
program.
These engagements continue to highlight the company’s clinical development progress and Xanamem’s differentiated
mechanism of action, while supporting sustained investor education and brand visibility.

4. MATERIAL RISKS
In addition to risks associated with any business there are specific, material risks that, either individually or in combination, may
materially and adversely affect the future operating and financial performance and prospects of Actinogen and the value of its
shares. Some of these risks may be mitigated by Actinogen’s internal controls and processes but some are outside the control
of Actinogen, its directors and management. The material risks identified by management are described below:
Risk Implication Mitigation
Research and
Development
Activities
Actinogen’s future success is dependent on the performance of
Actinogen’s lead molecule, Xanamem, in clinical trials and whether it
proves to be a safe and effective treatment. Xanamem is an experimental
product in late-stage clinical development. Product commercialization
resulting in potential product sales revenues are likely to be some years
away without any guarantee that it will be successful. It requires
additional research and development, including ongoing clinical evaluation
of safety and efficacy in clinical trials and regulatory approval prior to
marketing authorization. Until Actinogen is able to provide further clinical
evidence of the ability of Xanamem to improve outcomes in patients, the
future success of its technology remains speculative. Research and
development risks include uncertainty of the outcome of results,
difficulties or delays in development and generally the uncertainty that
surrounds the scientific development of pharmaceutical products.
Mitigation measures include
‘following the science’ of the data
generated for Xanamem to date,
hiring expert clinical development
professionals to design, oversee and
analyse the trial program,
engagement of leading contract
research organisations to manage
components of the trials and drive
recruitment as well as engagement
of well-qualified clinical sites
experienced in clinical trial execution
and in the relevant therapeutic
areas.
Regulatory
Approvals
Actinogen operates within a highly regulated industry, relating to the
manufacture, distribution and supply of pharmaceutical products. There is
no guarantee that Actinogen will obtain the required approvals, licenses
and registrations from relevant regulatory authorities in jurisdictions in
which it operates. The commencement of clinical trials may be delayed
and Actinogen may incur further costs if the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and other regulatory agencies are tardy or observe deficiencies that
require resolution or request additional studies be conducted in addition
to those that are currently planned. A change in regulation may also
adversely affect Actinogen’s ability to commercialize and manufacture its
treatments.
Mitigation measures include
operating under a US FDA
Investigational New Drug (IND)
process, engagement of suitably
qualified and experienced persons
with expertise in the regulation of
small molecule therapies,
establishing relationships with
regulators to facilitate feedback and
guidance from them, regular review
of evolving regulatory requirements
and analysis of the company’s
activities and plans against
regulatory expectations in key
jurisdictions, and ensuring that the
expectations and uncertainties
related to regulatory approvals, and
the timing of such approvals, are
included in business plans.
Intellectual
Property
Securing rights in technology and patents is an integral part of securing
potential product value in the outcomes of biotechnology research and
development. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of
technology and the complex nature of technologies can lead to patent
disputes. Actinogen’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain
patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing
the proprietary rights of third parties. Because the patent position of
biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and frequently involves
complex legal and factual questions, neither the breadth of claims allowed
in biotechnology patents, nor their enforceability can be predicted. There
can be no assurance that any patents which Actinogen may own, access
or control will afford Actinogen commercially significant protection of its
technology or its products or have commercial application or that access
to these patents will mean that Actinogen will be free to commercialize its
technology. Competitors may file patents which could limit the company's
freedom to operate for its technologies. The granting of a patent does not
guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed or that competitors
will not develop technology or products to avoid Actinogen's patented
technology. Actinogen’s current patenting strategies do not cover all
countries which may lead to generic competition arising in those markets.
Mitigation measures include use of
expert patent attorneys, regular
review of the relevant patent
landscape, filing of additional
patents and maintenance of patents
in a broad geography covering major
pharmaceutical markets. The
company also has significant
protection by virtue of data
exclusivity regimes, which in most
countries afford extensive multi-
year protection from the date a
marketing approval is obtained in
relation to data generated in the
clinical and non-clinical trial
processes undertaken in the
process of obtaining such an
approval.
Page | 8
Risk Implication Mitigation
Partnership
Model
While undertaking its phase 2/3 clinical program the company is actively
pursuing value-add partnership(s) to expand the trial program further and
secure commercialization pathways in one or more territories. This model,
which typically involves entering into commercial arrangements with other
companies in which Actinogen would license its Xanamem technology to
the partner in one or more indications and/or geographies and the partner
assumes some or all responsibility for progressing, and paying for, the
clinical trials and eventual commercialization. This strategy involves the
risk that the company will lose some or all control of the development
timetable of its products to its commercial partner(s), which may give rise
to an unanticipated delay in any commercial returns. Further, the company
may be unable to enter into arrangements with suitable commercial
partners in respect of relevant indications. If either of these outcomes
occurred, the company’s business and operations may be adversely
affected.
Mitigation measures employed by
the company include using expert
business development professionals
to build relationships with potential
partners, performing rigorous due
diligence, ensuring that the
commercial terms negotiated are fair
and utilising expert legal advice to
ensure that appropriate warranties
and commitments are included in
contracts, and that the contracts
reflect the agreed commercial
position. The company has proven
its ability to continue to obtain
funding to pursue its drug
development programs using its
own resources, without being reliant
on obtaining one or more partners.
The company also seeks to form
partnerships with relevant regulatory
agencies including the FDA, EMA,
and MHRA.
Manufacturing The company’s products are manufactured using a specialised
manufacturing process at an expert third party facility, as is the norm in
the industry. An inability of these third-party contract manufacturing
organisations to continue to manufacture the company’s products in a
timely, economical and/or consistent manner, including any scale up of
manufacturing processes, or to maintain legally compliant manufacturing
to maintain product supply, could adversely impact on the progress of the
company’s development programs and potentially on the financial
performance of the company.
Mitigation measures include
performing rigorous due diligence on
contract manufacturers, engaging
contract manufacturers with strong
track records and sufficient
capability to meet the company’s
foreseeable needs, employing senior
managers responsible for managing
and monitoring the performance of
contract manufacturers, gradually
scaling up batch production runs to
ensure scalability and maintenance
of quality systems and related
documentation.
Fundraising
risk
Actinogen is reliant upon fundraising to fund its operations. Funds may be
available in the future from grants, development and commercial
partnerships, tax incentives and capital markets but are not guaranteed.
Capital market volatility may impact Actinogen’s ability to raise future
funds. Currency market fluctuations could impact the amount of funding
required where expenditure is denominated in currencies other than the
Australian dollar.
Mitigation measures include prudent
cash flow forecasting, potential filing
of grant applications, key
management focus on partnership
relationships, use of specialist
advisors in tax, business
development and investor relations,
maintaining high quality analyst
coverage, frequent communications
to retail and institutional investors
and having a presence at many
scientific and business conferences.
The company has a track record of
successfully raising new equity and
debt funding, as well as obtaining
R&D Tax Incentive rebates under the
AusIndustry and Australian Taxation
Office R&D incentive scheme.

5. BUSINESS STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
Actinogen’s FY2026 strategic priorities remain focused on four core elements:
• Accelerating clinical development of Xanamem in Alzheimer’s disease
• Advancing commercial readiness to prepare the market for Xanamem and support partnering
• Scaling manufacturing and strengthening patent protection
• Proactively engaging with prospective development and commercial partners
Accelerating clinical development of Xanamem in Alzheimer’s disease
Following the release of the 2025 Annual Report, enrolment in the pivotal XanaMIA phase 2b/3 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) trial
was completed in December 2025, with 247 participants recruited across 35 sites in the United States and Australia - above
the original target of 220 participants.
A major milestone was achieved on 30 January 2026, when the trial’s independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC)
completed its confidential interim analysis of safety and efficacy futility and recommended the trial continue without
amendment.4
The positive recommendation reinforces confidence in the trial design and supports continuation to topline final
results expected in November 2026, following the last patient’s final evaluation visit anticipated in September 2026.
In September 2025, the company also achieved a common understanding with the FDA on the regulatory pathway to marketing
approval in AD including the streamlined design of one more, final pivotal clinical AD trial of Xanamem 10 mg vs. placebo
beginning in 2027. A similar engagement with the European Medicines Agency will take place during the second half of the
financial year.
Key features of the current XanaMIA phase 2b/3 trial include:
• Targeted enrolment of the same patient population in whom a large Xanamem treatment benefit on the Clinical Dementia
Rating Scale – Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) endpoint was observed in a prospective reanalysis of the prior XanADu phase 2a
trial (the analysis used available data from 72 patients with mild or moderate AD, 34 of whom had elevated pTau181 protein
in the blood)
• Reduced high screen failure costs traditionally associated with AD trials through rapid, cost-efficient pre-screening of
potential participants using blood pTau181
• A 36-week blinded treatment period, designed to demonstrate a clinical benefit for Xanamem versus placebo, after which
all participants will have the opportunity to receive active Xanamem 10mg once daily in the OLE phase commencing Q1
2026, allowing collection of longer‑term safety and efficacy observational data
• Rigorous rater training and standardization to minimize variance in key endpoints such as the CDR-SB primary endpoint
• ‘Hands on’ clinical operations managed in Australia, complemented by select US contractors to optimize quality, timelines
and cost.
Planning has commenced for the second pivotal AD trial, similar in design to XanaMIA but larger in scale. This trial is expected
to commence in 2027 across multiple countries including Australia, with a limited number of open-label and clinical
pharmacology trials conducted in parallel.
Plan for commercial readiness to prepare the market for Xanamem and support future partnerships
Consistent with its late stage of clinical development position, Actinogen has progressed qualitative and semi-quantitative
assessment of Xanamem’s Target Product Profile across key markets, initially focused on the United States.
Activities completed to date include:
• Appointed Mr Andrew (Andy) Udell as Chief Commercial Officer in October 2024, based in the US
• Unique INN and USAN name emestedastat granted for Xanamem
• Convened an Advisory Board meeting of key opinion leaders to review the XanaCIDD phase 2a depression data
• Established an Alzheimer’s Disease Clinical Advisory Committee, comprising nine globally recognised AD experts, to guide
ongoing AD clinical and commercial planning
• Engaged with key US Alzheimer’s opinion leaders at International scientific meetings, US clinical sites and through direct
interactions
• Developed a high-tech educational animation illustrating Xanamem’s novel mechanism of action and its differentiated
therapeutic profile
• Conducted in-depth qualitative and quantitative market research with neurologists and high-volume AD-treating physicians
to assess reaction to Xanamem’s draft Target Product Profile, current treatment dynamics and Xanamem’s potential value
proposition.

Scale up manufacturing and enhance patent protection
Actinogen continued to advance its Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) program, an essential component of
late-stage clinical development. Significant progress was achieved during FY2025 in scaling the synthesis of Xanamem’s
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API). More than 15 kg of API was successfully manufactured with improved yield by
Asymchem, a highly respected manufacturer. Previously, the largest API batch size produced was 3.2 kg. Further API
manufacturing runs are planned for 2027.
The scaled-up drug substance batch was imported into the United States and used by Catalent (USA) to manufacture
commercial-grade 10 mg tablets for the OLE phase trial and broader late-stage requirements.
In parallel, the company progressed national phase patent filings covering multiple manufacturing process patents and a patent
for the tablet formulation.
Proactively engage with prospective development and commercial partners
Actinogen continues to actively engage potential partners - large and small, regional and global – who have an interes
