Clinical Screens in Melbourne, Data in Chicago, Foundational Models in Hangzhou: Tracing Medical AI’s Trillion-Dollar Value

EQS Newswire / 09/10/2026 / 14:11 UTC+8

Today, after a patient completes a chest CT scan, clinicians pull up the images, review prior test results and treatment histories, and interpret what the new findings signify. Tomorrow, the next wave of trillion-dollar medical AI companies will likely emerge from three pillars: clinician workflow systems used day-to-day, datasets spanning the entire patient care journey, and foundational models that continuously deliver new diagnostic capabilities.

Tracing this trajectory reveals three global hubs. Pro Medicus (ASX: PME) in Melbourne, Australia, built its business around imaging workflows; Tempus AI (NASDAQ: TEM) in Chicago, US, focuses on diagnostics and patient data; Diagens Tech (HKEX: 2526) in Hangzhou, China, innovates with medical imaging foundational models. As of 8 October 2026, their respective market capitalisations stood at approximately RMB 78 billion, RMB 84 billion, and RMB 22 billion.

Each company began with a distinct business focus: Pro Medicus primarily sells imaging software; Tempus generates most of its revenue from molecular diagnostics and data services; Diagens Tech deploys medical imaging large foundational models into hospitals and clinical practice. Together, they illuminate a critical industry question: if workflows and data already command high valuations, could models that continuously generate clinical capabilities become the third high-value asset class in medical AI?

This article argues that Diagens Tech is positioning itself to occupy exactly this niche. By expanding from one regulated use case to additional specialties and hospital sites, it empowers clinical specialists to build, deploy and operate thousands of custom models on one unified foundation. As AI infinitely amplifies specialist expertise, medical imaging foundational models evolve from standalone technology products into scalable platform assets.

 

A Paradigm Shift: Health Demands Answers, and Above All, Evidence

The arrival of large models in healthcare reshapes how people engage with health information. In 2026, OpenAI rolled out health features that connect to medical records and Apple Health with user consent, reporting that more than 300 million people submit health queries to ChatGPT each week. Health management may shift from sporadic web searches to continuous insight, reminders and follow-up queries. Even so, while large language models can interpret reports, they cannot validate tumour shrinkage or organ damage from that data alone, let alone deliver reliable forecasts of disease progression.

On another frontier, AI is transforming drug discovery. Google DeepMind’s AlphaGenome examines how genetic variants alter molecular properties; NVIDIA and Eli Lilly announced up to USD 1 billion joint investment over five years; Rentosertib, a candidate drug co-developed by Insilico Medicine, entered Phase Ⅲ trials in 2026. From molecular hypotheses to clinical trials, models now contribute to discovery and R&D decisions. Health management seeks to understand what occurs within the body, while drug development explores how treatments alter disease outcomes. Both rely on reproducible, observable clinical evidence.

As the primary source of clinical evidence, medical imaging covers roughly 14,000 indication-specific tasks across CT, MR, ultrasound, endoscopy, pathology, microscopy, dermatoscopy and fundus imaging, accounting for 80% of all global clinical data. According to the World Health Organization, over 25 billion medical imaging scans are performed worldwide each year. This massive volume makes imaging one of the richest, most reliable observation layers within healthcare systems. Medical records, comparatively, are human-language documentation of those core observations.

Model development and clinical trials are converging in medical imaging. Google’s MedGemma 1.5 delivers interpretation for 3D CT, MRI and pathology images, while Microsoft’s CARE‑X focuses on chest X-ray reading and lesion localisation. The Swedish MASAI randomised trial enrolled approximately 106,000 women. Within a defined breast screening pathway, the AI-assisted workflow achieved higher breast cancer detection sensitivity (80.5% versus 73.8%), with comparable false positive control (98.5% specificity in both arms). Advances in technical performance and clinical evidence are converging. The next question defining industry value centres on integrating these capabilities into clinicians’ daily tools and building sustainable revenue streams.

 

Pro Medicus’ Screens in Melbourne: Imaging Information Management Software — Embedded in Clinicians’ Daily Workflows

The “screens” referenced here refer to end‑to‑end workflow management software for clinicians to view, compare and analyse medical images. Pro Medicus’s Visage7 integrates image viewing, archiving and workflow management. Clinicians open, review and compare imaging data on this system every day. Going forward, once hospitals organise image reading, reporting and cross‑institutional collaboration around this platform, the software may become central to clinical operations.

This pathway has delivered tangible commercial outcomes. In fiscal2026, Pro Medicus recorded approximately AUD261.7million in revenue and AUD127.5million in operating cash inflow, with disclosed minimum contracted revenue of around AUD1.3billion over the next five years. The market assigns it a valuation well above its current‑period revenue. Long‑term contracts, workflow‑embedded products and proven cash‑generating capacity underpin this valuation.

Melbourne demonstrates the first key insight: in high-frequency, trust-reliant healthcare settings, the daily access portal used by clinicians is itself a valuable asset. Yet smooth image visualisation only addresses operational needs. To interpret what imaging findings mean for an individual patient, clinicians also require the patient’s diagnostic, examination and treatment context.

 

Tempus’ Data in Chicago: Connecting Single Tests to a Patient’s Lifelong Care Journey

Tempus offers a second benchmark. Its core revenue comes from molecular diagnostics – understanding disease via genetic and molecular information – linking test results, clinical records, data applications and pharmaceutical R&D needs. Its implications for the industry are that value can extend beyond diagnosis when textual data connects a patient’s long‑term disease trajectory, treatment decisions and real‑world outcomes.

In Q2 2026, Tempus generated USD382.5million in revenue, including USD289.3million from diagnostics and USD93.2million from data and applications. Tempus also disclosed delivery of the first version of its oncology foundational model to AstraZeneca. Tempus’s valuation reflects data generated by its diagnostic business, capabilities for deploying data to clinicians and pharmaceutical companies, and its sustained revenue growth.

 

Diagens Tech’s Foundational Model in Hangzhou: Turning Clinicians from Users into Creators

The promising future of medical AI emerges from a recent in-depth conversation between Dr. Ning Song, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Diagens Tech and Kevin Kelly, founding editor-in-chief of WIRED, the renowned global technology publication. Dr. Song drew an analogy between print shops and office productivity software. Document creation once required outsourced typesetting and printing, a slow and costly process. After document-editing tools became accessible on personal computers alongside printers, the volume of documents people could create exploded. Yet global healthcare still operates differently: vendors select disease areas, build AI tools independently and hand finished products to hospitals. Spending RMB 300 million over three years to build one disease-specific imaging AI tool remains common. Dr. Song envisioned a comparable shift: radiologists can leverage state-of-the-art imaging foundational models to train custom diagnostic AI rapidly, accurately and affordably for their own specialties. He described this future medtech ecosystem as “a flourishing bloom of custom clinical AI solutions”. While endorsing this innovative framework, Kevin Kelly noted that for a world-leading medical AI company, the journey to realise this vision forms its strongest competitive moat.

Medical imaging foundational models operate on a simple principle: learn general anatomy and lesion characteristics from vast libraries of CT, ultrasound and pathology scans, then adapt to targeted clinical assessments using specialty-specific patient cases. The shared foundation absorbs the heavy upfront investment, allowing new use cases to reuse existing capabilities. Diagens Tech discloses its iMedImage® foundational medical imaging model spans 19 imaging modalities and 26 clinical specialties. For certain low-data scenarios, a specialty model can be trained within two to three months using roughly 200 imaging samples. Its iMedMaaS® model training and deployment platform enables clinicians to run no-code training and on-premise deployment using in-hospital datasets. Hospitals thereby shift from purchasing off-the-shelf algorithms to defining clinical challenges and co-building tools.

For this production system to work, image volume is only the starting point; clinical expertise must be integrated into datasets. Diagens Tech reports that iMedImage® was trained on more than 80 million medical images. Its iMedLoop™ medical imaging AI R&D and production acceleration platform hosts 28.95 million annotated records, built with contributions from over 3,000 specialised professionals. A “record” refers to one sample entry, which may contain multiple images – much as a single CT scan generates sequential slices. Raw scans expose the model to diverse anatomical variations, while expert annotations identify lesion locations and classification rules. Annotation, quality control and evaluation transform raw image data into usable clinical knowledge for model training. Hospitals can also train models locally using their own data. As of mid-2026, Diagens Tech had partnered with 99 hospitals to deliver 158 model projects. New clinical challenges defined by hospitals, paired with annotation and evaluation frameworks co-developed by specialists, form building blocks for future applications. Notably, the number of models Diagens Tech trains within a single year exceeds the total volume of medical imaging AI models developed across China in the past decade.

Translating this production capacity into clinical adoption requires market-ready products and paying customers. AI AutoVision®, built on iMedImage®, is software designed to help clinicians analyse karyograms and detect abnormalities. It obtained Class III medical device registration from China’s NMPA in May 2026. In its clinical trial, the “clinician+AI” workflow delivered readings in an average of 11.3 minutes, compared with 34.1 minutes for conventional workflows. In the first half of that year, Diagens Tech generated RMB 94.541 million in model service revenue via model and technology licensing, cloud services and on-premise deployment, marking year-on-year growth of 101.1%. The registered product demonstrates how foundational models translate into clinical use, while model service revenue confirms customers are paying for model generation and delivery capacity. The vision of “flourishing bloom” therefore gains commercial substance: clinicians define new clinical challenges, and the platform continuously delivers specialty capabilities using a unified toolset.

 

The Trillion-Dollar Question: From an Imaging-AI Factory to Disease-Interpretation Infrastructure

What challenges does this “factory” need to tackle? Medical imaging diagnostics cover 14,000 indication-specific tasks. This count refers neither to hardware nor individual images, but to distinct examinations designed for separate clinical objectives. Even for chest CT, lung cancer screening, pulmonary embolism detection and pneumonia assessment represent separate indications, requiring different imaging protocols and clinician interpretation workflows. Each task demands specialised capabilities; medical imaging forms a vast, fragmented landscape of clinical requirements.

Scale brings its own constraint: many clinical conditions lack sufficient patient samples. A study published in Nature Communications identified 5,568 imaging-linked diseases and anomalies across more than 40,000 patient cases, many represented by fewer than 30 samples. The traditional “one model for one disease” paradigm requires fresh case collection, expert annotation, training and validation for every new task. Costs and timelines compound when addressing tens of thousands of niche use cases. Cross-task reusable foundational models embed shared imaging comprehension within a single foundation, allowing clinicians to adapt models using specialty-specific samples. This makes it feasible to cover these long-tail clinical needs at a manageable cost. The true expansion enabled by foundational models lies in the total volume of clinical capabilities that can be built.

This factory unlocks another capability: supporting researchers to frame new questions about disease progression. Imaging captures physical changes within the body. When linked to pathology, genetics, treatment records and patient outcomes, models can probe: which early markers signal recurrence? Which patients will respond best to a given therapy? This is AI for Science in medical imaging: identifying correlations from large-scale clinical observations and generating testable medical hypotheses. Research published in Nature Cancer has sought to infer tumour gene expression from pathology slides to predict therapeutic response.

Diagens Tech’s research advances along this same path. Its iMedImage® technical report reveals the team combined contrast-enhanced CT, clinical and pathological data to predict one-year post-surgical recurrence risk for pancreatic cancer, achieving an AUC of 0.78 across 89 external test samples. An AUC value closer to 1 denotes stronger ability to stratify patients by risk. A separate study combines cervical ultrasound and maternal clinical histories to forecast preterm birth risk. Model research is shifting its focus from “what can be observed today” to “how disease may evolve over time”. In September 2026, Diagens Tech established a joint laboratory with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to investigate medical imaging analysis, healthcare foundational models and research workflow automation.

The logical thread spanning these three cities now forms a complete loop. Pro Medicus owns the daily software access portal for clinicians; Tempus integrates textual findings into AI-powered long-term patient journey databases for diagnostics and pharmaceutical R&D; Diagens Tech builds a production platform empowering clinicians worldwide to build new models. Its growth follows two clear vectors: expanding into more hospitals, and addressing numerous specialty AI diagnostic needs within each site. Shared foundational models cut development costs for new tasks. Extending beyond diagnosis into prognosis, patient stratification and treatment response research opens opportunities to serve academic institutions and life science companies. This reveals a new dawn for human health management, as the field shifts from Cure Medicine toward Care Medicine.

Amid the promising outlook for human well-being, the three cities, three pathways and three sets of valuations remain underappreciated. Diagens Tech’s growth journey represents humanity’s quest to manage health more effectively and precisely.

Melbourne shapes clinicians’ daily workflows, Chicago maps patients’ lifelong care journeys, and Hangzhou establishes a new benchmark for human health. At the frontiers of AI, we welcome a new era of human well‑being.

  • Exclusive product access: Cantourage strengthens its premium portfolio across Europe and reinforces its role as a gateway to European markets for Canadian producers.
  • Greater supply-chain resilience: Direct imports of EU-GMP-certified finished products increase flexibility and strengthen supply-chain resilience.
  • Additional manufacturing capacity: Shifting production steps to certified cultivation partners creates additional capacity.

Cantourage Group SE (ISIN: DE000A3DSV01) is strengthening its position as a leading European platform for medical cannabis. Its long-standing Canadian partner Green Karat obtained EU-GMP certification effective 1 October 2026. Cantourage supported the certification process as sponsor and certification partner and is Green Karat’s exclusive distribution partner for products manufactured by Green Karat in the European Union and the United Kingdom.

The certification marks an important step in Cantourage’s strategy of helping leading international cannabis producers access the European market while securing attractive products and brands for its core European markets through exclusive partnerships.

The partnership between Cantourage and Green Karat is built on a long-standing relationship of trust. EU-GMP certification takes the collaboration to the next level: Cantourage will be able to import finished products manufactured by Green Karat directly from Canada in accordance with EU-GMP standards. This can help make products available to pharmacies across Europe sooner after harvest.

“Cantourage has been an important and trusted partner for us in Europe for many years. The company combines deep regulatory expertise with strong access to the European markets that matter to us and a clear understanding of high-quality cannabis products. Working with Cantourage on the EU-GMP certification process was therefore a natural next step. The certification creates the basis for bringing our products to patients in Europe more directly and quickly, and for continuing to grow our presence across Europe together,” said Jen-Frederick Nadeau, founder and CEO of Green Karat.

“Green Karat has been a trusted partner for many years, and this certification marks an important next step in our collaboration. By supporting our partners through EU-GMP certification, we are building a more flexible and resilient supply chain and strengthening access to high-quality products for patients and customers across Europe,” said Philip Schetter, CEO of Cantourage Group SE.

At the same time, the model offers Cantourage tangible strategic and operational benefits. Shifting production steps to EU-GMP-certified cultivation partners gives Cantourage greater flexibility across its value chain and opens up additional manufacturing capacity. A broader production footprint also reduces operational concentration risk and strengthens supply-chain resilience. This positions Cantourage to expand its business with premium products from international partners efficiently and at scale.

Green Karat is one example of Cantourage’s broader certification strategy. Cantourage is already working with other leading international producers on certification processes, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The company is continuing to strengthen its role as a certification partner and as a gateway to the European market for Canadian and other international cannabis producers.

For Cantourage, the combination of exclusive partnerships, regulatory expertise and an international network of high-quality producers is a key pillar of its European growth strategy. The company intends to further develop its role as a link between leading international cannabis producers and European markets.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Bio-Gate AG Reports First-Half Results for 2026

  • First-half revenue of 2.8 million euros, down from the previous year (3.4 million euros)
  • EBIT loss of 927 TEUR; cost-saving measures taking effect
  • Forecasts for full-year 2026 revenue and earnings adjusted
  • Revenue growth in the Veterinary and Measurement Technology; Derma-Cosmetics and Wound Care business segment with a temporary decline in revenue

 

Nuremberg/Bremen, October 9, 2026 – Bio-Gate AG (ISIN DE000BGAG981), a leading provider of proprietary antimicrobial technologies for human and veterinary medicine, generated consolidated revenue of 2.8 million euros in the first half of 2026 (as of June 30), a decline of just under 18 percent compared to the same period last year. Changes in the product portfolio and organizational restructuring—particularly in the derma-cosmetics and wound care business segments—led to significantly lower order volumes from two major customers for human and animal care products, respectively. The medical technology segment, which includes implant coatings, performed in line with expectations. However, revenue growth was weaker due to timing shifts related to specific dates in the completion of milestones. This was caused by delayed partial deliveries from a project partner. By contrast, the Veterinary and Measurement Services business segments increased their revenue contributions.

 

At the half-year mark, Bio-Gate reported a loss of 814 TEUR at the EBITDA level (previous year: -723 TEUR) and a loss of 927 TEUR at the EBIT level (previous year: -840 TEUR). As a result, the losses—relative to the decline in revenue—were significantly lower due to positive effects from cost-saving and efficiency measures already implemented.

 

The Executive Board is confident that the decline in revenue will be only a temporary phenomenon. Revenue is expected to return to 2025 levels as early as 2027. Growth momentum is expected to come, for example, from a new Bio-Gate medical device for scar treatment developed for a dermocosmetics customer. Preparations for the market launch are already underway. In addition, Bio-Gate is achieving significant cost savings through the reorganization of its corporate structures and processes along the value chain, thereby strengthening its profitability.

 

2026 Full-Year Forecast Revised

For the full year 2026, the Executive Board expects consolidated revenue to range between 6.0 and 6.9 million euros (previous forecast from May 2026: ±7% of the prior-year level, i.e., approximately 6.9 to 7.9 million euros; previous year’s consolidated revenue: 7.4 million euros). EBITDA is expected to range between -0.9 and -1.1 million euros, which—despite the lower revenue—is at or slightly below the previous year’s level (-0.9 million euros), as cost savings will offset part of the impact of the revenue decline. Management anticipates EBIT of between -1.1 and -1.5 million euros (previous year: -1.1 million euros).

Galimedix Therapeutics presents strong pharmacokinetic profile of next-generation oral Alzheimer’s candidate at AD/PD™ 2026

  • Prodrug of oral amyloid beta aggregation modulator demonstrated improved absorption characteristics, leading to substantially higher systemic peak drug level and, ultimately, to sufficient exposure with lower doses
  • Superior PK profile enables significantly reduced oral dosing amount, supporting this next-generation compound as a promising new oral development candidate for Alzheimer’s disease

Kensington, MD, USA and Munich/Martinsried, Germany, March 20, 2026 – Galimedix Therapeutics, Inc. (“Galimedix”), a Phase 2 clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel oral and topical neuroprotective therapies with the potential to revolutionize the treatment of serious brain and eye diseases, presented preclinical data showcasing the improved pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of a next-generation amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation modulator for Alzheimer’s disease. The poster, entitled, “New oral prodrug of the Aβ aggregation modulator GAL-201 shows significantly improved pharmacokinetic profile”, was presented at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and related neurological disorders (AD/PD™ 2026: advances in science and therapy), being held in Copenhagen, Denmark, March 17-21, 2026. 

“The data presented at AD/PD™ 2026 demonstrate the rapid absorption and significantly higher peak plasma concentrations of this new prodrug compared to the parent compound,” said Hermann Russ, MD, PhD, Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Galimedix. “These characteristics make this prodrug a promising new oral Aβ-targeting development candidate that could offer enhanced efficacy and patient-friendly dosing for the long-term treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.”

Prodrug demonstrates rapid and complete absorption, enabling reduced oral doses, important for long-term administration
Galimedix has several compounds in development that neutralize soluble, toxic forms of Aβ early in the aggregation process, and thereby prevent neurodegeneration. Preclinical studies show consistent disease-modifying effects across Alzheimer’s, glaucoma and dry AMD models mediated by peak plasma concentrations. While the oral bioavailability in rats was shown to be acceptable, improved bioavailability would reduce oral drug doses, which would be an advantage for patients. Thus, Galimedix derived next generation molecules with the goal of improving PK properties based on absorption and systemic exposure considerations.

This superior PK profile enables significantly reduced oral doses, which is particularly important given the need for long-term administration for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

  • S10: Unique Benefits of Evenamide on Social Functioning and Life Engagement in Patients with Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia or Inadequate Response to Second-Generation Antipsychotics
     

About ENIGMA-TRS
The ENIGMA-TRS pivotal Phase III program consists of ENIGMA-TRS 1 and ENIGMA-TRS 2. ENIGMA-TRS 1, initiated in August 2025, is an international, one-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in at least 600 patients to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of evenamide 15 mg and 30 mg twice daily as an add-on therapy to current antipsychotics, including clozapine, compared to placebo. ENIGMA-TRS 2, initiated in December 2025, is a Phase III, international, 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of evenamide 15 mg twice daily as an add-on therapy to current antipsychotics, including clozapine, compared to placebo, in patients suffering from TRS. ENIGMA-TRS 2 will enroll at least 400 patients.

About evenamide
Evenamide is a novel, orally available new chemical entity with a unique mechanism of action distinct from all currently marketed antipsychotics. It acts by selectively blocking voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) and exhibits no biological activity at more than 130 other central nervous system (CNS) targets. It normalizes glutamate release induced by aberrant sodium channel activity (veratridine-stimulated), without affecting basal glutamate levels, due to inhibition of VGSCs. Combinations of subtherapeutic doses of evenamide and other APs, including clozapine, were associated with benefit in animal models of psychosis, suggesting synergies in mechanisms that may provide meaningful benefits for patients who do not adequately respond to current APs, including those on clozapine. Importantly, the benefits seemed to persist for a substantial time after evenamide had been degraded, explaining the long-term effects seen in clinical studies. Through its novel glutamatergic modulation, evenamide represents a first-in-class approach aimed at addressing the unmet needs of patients with schizophrenia who are resistant to existing treatments.

About treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS)
A significant proportion of patients with schizophrenia show virtually little to no beneficial response to currently available antipsychotic (AP) treatments, leading to a diagnosis of treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). TRS is defined as no or inadequate symptom relief despite treatment with therapeutic doses of two APs from two different chemical classes for an adequate period. It is estimated that approximately 15% of patients develop TRS from the onset of illness, and about one-third to 50% of patients with schizophrenia overall. Emerging scientific evidence supports abnormalities in glutamate neurotransmission in TRS, not targeted by current APs, along with normal dopaminergic synthesis, to explain the lack of clinical benefit of most typical and atypical antipsychotics, which act primarily on dopamine receptors. These insights underline the need for novel therapeutic approaches that target the underlying glutamatergic dysfunction in schizophrenia, offering hope for patients who currently have limited or no effective treatment options.

About Newron Pharmaceuticals
Newron (SIX: NWRN, XETRA: NP5) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative therapies for patients with diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. Headquartered in Bresso near Milan, Italy, the Company has a strong track record of advancing neuroscience-based treatments from discovery to market. Newron’s lead compound, evenamide, is a first-in-class glutamate modulator and has the potential to be the first add-on therapy for treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) and for poorly responding patients with schizophrenia. Evenamide is currently developed in the global pivotal ENIGMA-TRS Phase III development program. Clinical trial results to date demonstrate the benefits of this drug candidate in the TRS as well as poorly responding patient population, with significant improvements across key efficacy measures increasing over time, as well as a favorable safety profile, which is uncommon for available antipsychotic medications. Newron has signed development and commercialization agreements for evenamide with EA Pharma (a subsidiary of Eisai) for Japan and other Asian territories, as well as Myung In Pharm for South Korea. Newron’s first marketed product, Xadago®/safinamide has received marketing authorization for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in the European Union, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, Australia, Canada, Latin America, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Japan and South Korea. The product is commercialized by Newron’s partner Zambon, with Supernus Pharmaceuticals holding marketing rights in the U.S., and Meiji Seika responsible for development and commercialization in Japan and other key Asian territories.

Marinomed Biotech AG has decided to conduct a cash capital increase to cover short-term capital requirements of approximately EUR 2 million

Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by EQS News – a service of EQS Group.

Ad hoc announcement

Marinomed Biotech AG has decided to conduct a cash capital increase to cover short-term capital requirements of approximately EUR 2 million

 

Korneuburg, Austria, March 19, 2026

The Executive Board of Marinomed Biotech AG (“Company”) resolved today, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to carry out a capital increase against cash contributions—while preserving the subscription rights of existing shareholders—by partially utilizing the authorized capital provided for in Section 5(6) of the Articles of Association, in order to meet short-term capital requirements, and to increase the share capital from the current EUR 1,839,940 by up to EUR 459,985 through the issuance of up to 459,985 new no-par value bearer shares (“New Shares”) with a notional proportionate amount of the share capital of EUR 1.00 per share to up to EUR 2,299,925 (the “Capital Increase”). Existing shareholders of the Company (“Existing Shareholders”) will be granted subscription rights (“Subscription Rights”) on a 4:1 basis, i.e., for every four existing shares, one New Share may be subscribed for at a subscription price of EUR 14.00 per New Share (“Subscription Price”). The goal of the transaction is to generate gross proceeds of at least EUR 2 million.

Because the Company has not yet received sufficient payments from the transfer of the Carragelose business to Unither Pharmaceuticals (“Unither”), the Company has a short-term capital requirement to cover its anticipated liquidity needs of approximately EUR 2 million until mid of the fiscal year 2026. The net proceeds from the capital increase are therefore to be used to fulfill the restructuring plan and close the financing gap.

The Company will make use of the prospectus exemptions provided for in Article 1(4)(db) and Article 1(5)(ba) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (“Prospectus Regulation”), as amended, in connection with the offering of the New Shares and the admission of the New Shares to trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange. The document required for this purpose pursuant to Annex IX of the Prospectus Regulation will be filed in electronic form with the Financial Market Authority (FMA), as the competent authority of the home Member State, prior to the commencement of the public offering and will be made available to the public at the same time as it is filed with the FMA via the website www.marinomed.com.

The record date for the entitlement of existing shareholders to subscribe for New Shares is March 25, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CEST (“Record Date”). The subscription period is scheduled to begin on March 26, 2026 9:00 a.m. Central European Time and is expected to end on April 9, 2026 5:40 p.m. Central European Time, although the subscription period may be extended at any time. The subscription rights will not be tradable on the Vienna Stock Exchange. Any New Shares not subscribed for through the exercise of subscription rights in connection with the subscription offer (“Rump Shares”) will be offered following the subscription offer as part of a prospectus-exempt private placement (“Rump Placement”) to eligible institutional investors and selected non-institutional investors within the European Economic Area at the Subscription Price. A binding commitment has been received from an institutional investor who, as of today, does not yet hold any shares in the Company, to subscribe for and acquire New Shares in the total amount of EUR 1 million at the Subscription Price as part of the Rump Placement.

This announcement is made in accordance with Article 17 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014.

Disclaimer:

The New Shares and Subscription Rights have not been and will not be registered under any foreign securities laws—in particular under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) – with foreign securities authorities and may not be offered or sold, in particular in the United States of America (“U.S.”), without registration or an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. This announcement is not intended for distribution in the U.S. or within the U.S. and may not be distributed or forwarded to publications with general circulation in the U.S. Foreign shareholders may be subject to restrictions on the exercise of their subscription rights. Foreign shareholders are therefore urged to inform themselves of the restrictions applicable to them regarding the exercise of subscription rights. This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or purchase securities in countries where such an offer or solicitation is legally prohibited.
