With commercialization activities advancing and financing initiatives underway to support our U.S. launch strategy, we believe Conavi is entering an exciting new phase of growth.” Fiscal Q2 2026 Business and Operational Highlights FDA 510(k) Clearance of Next-Generation Hybrid Imaging SystemOn April 20, 2026, subsequent to quarter end, Conavi announced that it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) 510(k) clearance for its next-generation hybrid intravascular imaging system. The system integrates intravascular ultrasound (“IVUS”) and optical coherence tomography (“OCT”) into a single platform designed to provide simultaneous, co-registered imaging of coronary arteries within a unified workflow. The Company believes the clearance represents a major milestone for Conavi and positions the Company to initiate its targeted U.S. commercial launch expected in calendar H2 2026. The next-generation system includes enhancements designed to improve image quality, workflow efficiency, catheter deliverability, and overall ease of use for physicians performing image-guided coronary interventions. Industry Awards Recognize Innovation and Technology LeadershipDuring and subsequent to the quarter, Conavi received multiple industry recognitions highlighting the Company’s innovation in intravascular imaging technology. Conavi was named a winner in the Medical Device category at the 2026 MedTech Breakthrough Awards, an independent program recognizing leading companies and technologies in the global health and medical technology market. The award recognized Conavi’s next-generation hybrid IVUS-OCT imaging platform and its potential to improve physician workflow and clinical decision-making during coronary interventions. Conavi was also awarded a 2026 TAG Innovation Award recognizing innovation and leadership in advancing healthcare technology following the Company’s recent FDA 510(k) clearance announcement. Management believes these recognitions provide important third-party validation of Conavi’s technology and commercial opportunity within the growing intravascular imaging market. Commercial Readiness Activities ContinueFollowing FDA clearance, Conavi is focused on commercial readiness initiatives to support targeted U.S. market release activities in calendar H2 2026. Activities underway include manufacturing transfer and scale-up, reliability studies, inventory build, physician training preparation, and engagement with select U.S. clinical centers. The Company continues to believe that growing clinical evidence supporting intravascular imaging, combined with increasing physician adoption of image-guided PCI procedures, supports a significant long-term market opportunity for hybrid IVUS-OCT imaging technology. Participation in Healthcare Investor ConferenceDuring the quarter, Conavi announced participation in the 2026 Bloom Burton & Co. Healthcare Investor Conference, where management presented updates regarding the Company’s commercialization strategy and regulatory progress. Proposed Public Offering to Support U.S. Commercial LaunchOn May 11, 2026, subsequent to quarter end, Conavi announced a proposed public offering of common shares and/or pre-funded warrants pursuant to a preliminary short form prospectus filed in Canada. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to support a limited market release in the United States, working capital requirements, and general corporate purposes. OutlookWith FDA 510(k) clearance now secured, Conavi is focused on executing the next phase of its commercialization strategy, including manufacturing scale-up and targeted U.S. market release activities expected to begin in calendar H2 2026. Fiscal Q2 2026 Financial HighlightsAll amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Licensing and R&D services revenue for Fiscal Q2 2026 was $0.1 million compared to $0.1 million in the prior-year period. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, total revenue was $0.3 million compared to $8.7 million in the prior-year period, which included milestone revenue under a development agreement that did not recur in Fiscal 2026.

JenaValve Appoints Edward Sarnowski as Chief Technology Officer
IRVINE, Calif., May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — JenaValve Technology, Inc., developer and manufacturer of the Trilogy® Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System, today announced the appointment of Edward (Ed) Sarnowski as Chief Technology Officer. Ed will lead the company’s R&D organization and drive the next phase of innovation as JenaValve advances its transcatheter aortic valve programs following the recent U.S. FDA approval of the Trilogy THV System for symptomatic, severe aortic regurgitation (ssAR). Ed brings more than 20 years of medical device R&D leadership experience, with deep expertise in structural heart and transcatheter valve technologies. In this role, he will be instrumental in advancing JenaValve’s key innovation initiatives and expanding the Trilogy platform’s capabilities to safely and effectively serve the broadest possible population of patients suffering from aortic regurgitation. Most recently, Ed served as Vice President of R&D for TAVR and Congenital and subsequently Vice President of R&D, Mitral & Tricuspid at Medtronic Structural Heart, where he led a global R&D organization accountable for establishing transcatheter valve replacement therapies spanning R&D execution, clinical investigation, and portfolio strategy. Prior to Medtronic, Ed spent a decade at St. Jude Medical (acquired by Abbott) in senior R&D and business development leadership roles, where he drove FDA PMA submissions and built early-stage partnerships across cardiac and heart failure programs. Ed holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, a Master of Science in Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, and an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management. “Ed’s appointment marks an important step in the evolution of JenaValve as a company,” said John Kilcoyne, Chief Executive Officer of JenaValve. “With FDA approval now behind us and the U.S. commercial launch underway, we are entering a new phase of growth that demands R&D leadership of the highest caliber. Ed’s deep experience building and scaling global R&D organizations, delivering complex transcatheter programs from concept to commercialization, and navigating the regulatory rigor required in structural heart makes him exactly the right person to lead our technology organization. I am confident that under his leadership, we will continue to advance the science of TAVR for AR.” “I am honored to join JenaValve at such a transformative moment,” said Ed Sarnowski, Chief Technology Officer of JenaValve. “The Trilogy System represents a remarkable achievement — a purpose-built, first-of-its-kind transcatheter therapy that addresses a true unmet need in the structural heart space. I look forward to working alongside this exceptional team to build on the foundation that has been established, driving the meaningful innovation required to deliver life-changing solutions to cardiovascular patients worldwide.” About the Trilogy™ THV SystemThe Trilogy THV System is the first and only transcatheter heart valve in the United States indicated for native, symptomatic, severe aortic regurgitation in patients who are judged by a Heart Team to be at high or greater risk for surgical aortic valve replacement. The Trilogy THV System received CE Mark in 2021, and has now been used in more than 1,000 commercial procedures in Europe. The Trilogy System was purpose-built to address the unique anatomical challenges of aortic regurgitation (AR). Unlike conventional TAVR valves that rely on annular calcification for anchoring — which is typically absent in AR patients — the Trilogy System features three proprietary radiopaque locators that attach directly to the native aortic leaflets, enabling secure and stable implantation even in the absence of calcium. The locators also provide commissural alignment for precise valve positioning and ensure a reliable seal to minimize paravalvular regurgitation. The system’s large, open-cell nitinol frame is designed to preserve future coronary access. About JenaValveJenaValve Technology, Inc. is a medical device company focused on the design, development, and commercialization of innovative THV solutions for the treatment of patients suffering from heart valve disease. The Company’s Trilogy THV System is a TAVR system designed to treat patients with symptomatic, severe AR, and symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis (AS) who are at high surgical risk. The Trilogy THV System bears the CE Mark for the treatment of AR and AS and is FDA approved for the treatment of AR. JenaValve is headquartered in Irvine, California, with additional locations in Leeds, United Kingdom, and Munich, Germany.
