***Our Business***

Anavex Life Sciences Corp. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of differentiated therapeutics by applying precision medicine to central nervous system ("<u>CNS</u>") diseases with high unmet need. We analyze genomic data from clinical trials to identify biomarkers, which we use in the analysis of our clinical trials.

Our focus is on developing innovative treatments for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and rare diseases, including Rett syndrome, and other CNS disorders.

Our research and development pipeline includes ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 currently in three different clinical trial indications, and ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>3-71 currently in one clinical trial and several other compounds in different stages of clinical and pre-clinical development.

***Clinical Program Overview***

*Alzheimer's Disease*

In November 2016, we completed a Phase 2a clinical trial, consisting of Part A and Part B, which lasted a total of 57 weeks, for ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's patients. This open-label randomized trial in Australia met both primary and secondary endpoints and was designed to assess the safety and exploratory efficacy of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in 32 patients. ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 targets sigma-1 and muscarinic receptors, which have been shown in preclinical studies to reduce stress levels in the brain believed to restore cellular homeostasis and to reverse the pathological hallmarks observed in Alzheimer's disease. In October 2017, we presented positive pharmacokinetic ("<u>PK</u>") and pharmacodynamic ("<u>PD</u>") data from the Phase 2a clinical trial, which established a concentration-effect relationship between ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 and trial measurements. These measures obtained from all patients who participated in the entire 57 weeks include exploratory cognitive and functional scores as well as biomarker signals of brain activity. Additionally, the clinical trial appeared to show that ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 activity was enhanced by its active metabolite (ANAVEX19-144), which also targets the SIGMAR1 receptor and has a half-life approximately twice as long as the parent molecule.

Two consecutive trial extensions for the Phase 2a trial have allowed participants who completed the 52-week Part B of the trial to continue taking ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73, providing an opportunity to gather extended safety data for a cumulative time period of five years. In August 2020, patients completing these Phase 2a trial extensions were granted continued access to treatment with ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 through the Australian Government Department of Health - Therapeutic Goods Administration's compassionate use Special Access Scheme.

In July 2018, we presented the results of a genomic DNA and RNA evaluation of the participants in the Phase 2a clinical trial. More than 33,000 genes were analyzed using unbiased, data driven, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) system for analyzing DNA and RNA data in patients treated with ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73. The analysis identified genetic variants that impacted response to ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73, among them variants related to the SIGMAR1, the target for ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73. Results showed that trial participants with the common SIGMAR1 wild type gene variant, which is estimated to be about 80% of the population worldwide, demonstrated improved cognitive (MMSE) and functional (ADCS-ADL) scores. The results from this evaluation supported the continued evaluation of genomic information in subsequent clinical trials, since these signatures can now be applied to neurological indications tested in future clinical trials with ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease dementia and Rett syndrome.

ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 data met prerequisite information in order to progress into a Phase 2b/3 placebo-controlled trial. This larger Phase 2b/3 double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in early Alzheimer's disease commenced in August 2018. The trial enrolled 508 patients, which were treated with a convenient once-daily oral formulation of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 for 48 weeks, randomized 1:1:1 to two different ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 doses or placebo. The trial took place at 52 sites across North America, Europe and Australia. Primary and secondary endpoints to assess safety and both cognitive and functional efficacy, were measured through the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale test ("<u>ADAS-Cog</u>"), Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living ("<u>ADCS-ADL</u>") and Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes for cognition and function ("<u>CDR-SB</u>"). In addition to these endpoints, the ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 Phase 2b/3 trial design incorporated pre-specified statistical analyses related to potential genomic precision medicine biomarkers previously identified in the ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 Phase 2a clinical trial. The trial was completed in mid-2022 and, in December 2022, the Company presented topline results from the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial. All statistical analyses were performed by outside consultancy companies.

Furthermore, all pre-specified clinical endpoints were analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). Under the multiplicity control rule, a trial is successful in meeting the co-primary endpoints if the significance of each endpoint is P < 0.05, or if the significance of only one co-primary endpoint is P < 0.025. If only one primary endpoint is significant at an α level of 0.025, then the secondary endpoint will be evaluated at the same level of 0.025. The trial was successful, the differences in the least-squares mean (LSM) change from baseline to 48 weeks between the ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 and placebo groups for ADAS-Cog13 was significant at a level of P < 0.025 and for CDR-SB was significant at a level of P < 0.025, in the patients with early Alzheimer's disease.

The comparison of individual dose groups vs placebo also supports blarcamesine's efficacy. For the primary endpoint ADAS-Cog13, blarcamesine is significantly better than placebo (-2.027; P = 0.0079) as well as for both the 50 mg (-2.149; P = 0.021) and the 30 mg (-1.934; P = 0.026) blarcamesine dosage groups at Week 48, representing that blarcamesine slowed clinical progression at 48 weeks by 36.3% and by 38.5% and 34.6% in 50 mg and 30 mg groups vs. placebo, respectively. The functional co-primary endpoint, ADCS-ADL, was trending in a positive direction but did not reach significance at Week 48. The key secondary endpoint CDR-SB was significantly improved vs. placebo (-0.483, P = 0.0104) as well as in both 50 mg (-0.465; P = 0.045) and 30 mg (-0.502; P = 0.020) groups at Week 48. Clinical Global Impression - Improvement ("<u>CGI-I</u>") was also significantly improved vs. placebo (-0.278, P = 0.004) as well as in both the 50 mg (-0.314; P = 0.008) and the 30 mg (-0.248; P = 0.024) groups at Week 48. The findings are supported by biomarkers, including plasma Aβ42/40-ratio and reduction of brain atrophy. Blarcamesine significantly slowed brain atrophy in key regions of interest, including the whole brain by 37.6%, total grey matter by 63.5%, and lateral ventricles by 25.1%.

In the respective safety population, common treatment-emergent adverse events included dizziness, which was transient and mostly mild to moderate in severity, and occurred in 120 participants (35.8%) during titration and in 76 participants (25.2%) during maintenance with ANAVEX®2-73 and 10 (6.0%) during titration and 9 (5.6%) during maintenance with placebo.

In November 2024, we announced the submission of a Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), under the centralized procedure, for ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and, in December 2024, the EMA accepted the submission for scientific review. The MAA, if approved, would allow direct market access throughout the European Union for oral ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 (blarcamesine) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. A company seeking to market a new pharmaceutical product through the centralized procedure must file safety data and efficacy data as part of the MAA. After the EMA evaluates the MAA, it provides a recommendation to the European Commission ("<u>EC</u>") and the EC then approves or denies the MAA. Throughout the scientific review process with the EMA, we may receive feedback or comments which, while not a conclusive decision, could suggest the application provided is insufficient to support the marketing authorization. We may not be able to sufficiently address these comments or requests. Alternatively, these comments or requests could lead us to decide, after consultation with our advisors or the regulatory authorities, to withdraw or amend our MAA for blarcamesine. The Company plans to announce the results when the EMA review and decision-making is finished and does not plan to provide interim updates.

A long-term open label extension study of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73, referred to as the ATTENTION-AD trial was initiated for patients who completed the 48-week Phase 2b/3 placebo-controlled trial referenced above. This trial extension for a duration of up to 96/144 additional weeks was completed in June 2024. The trial extension demonstrated that blarcamesine-treated patients continued to accrue benefit through up to 4 years, as measured by the clinical endpoints ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-ADL. Delayed-start analysis of treatment with oral blarcamesine was significant, reflecting the importance of early treatment initiation. No new safety findings were observed with continued blarcamesine treatment over three years, confirming good comparative safety profile and no associated neuroimaging adverse events.

*Parkinson's Disease*

In September 2016, we presented positive preclinical data for ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in an animal model of Parkinson's disease, which demonstrated significant improvements on behavioral, histopathological, and neuroinflammatory endpoints. The study was funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Additional data announced in October 2017 indicated that ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 induced robust neurorestoration in experimental Parkinsonism. We believe the encouraging results we have gathered in this preclinical model, coupled with the favorable profile of this product candidate in the Alzheimer's disease trial, support the notion that ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 has the potential to treat Parkinson's disease dementia.

In October 2020, we completed a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept Phase 2 trial with ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in Parkinson's disease dementia in Spain and Australia, to study the effect of the compound on both the cognitive and motor impairment of Parkinson's disease. The trial enrolled approximately 132 patients for 14 weeks, randomized 1:1:1 to two different ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 doses, 30 mg and 50 mg, or placebo. The ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 Phase 2 Parkinson's disease dementia trial design incorporated genomic precision medicine biomarkers identified in the ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 Phase 2a Alzheimer's disease trial.

The trial demonstrated that ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 was safe and well tolerated in oral doses up to 50 mg once daily. The results showed clinically meaningful, dose-dependent, and statistically significant improvements in the Cognitive Drug Research ("<u>CDR</u>") computerized assessment system analysis. Treatment with ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 also resulted in clinically meaningful improvements as measured by the global composite score of Parkinson's disease symptom severity, MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale ("<u>MDS-UPDRS</u>") total score on top of standard of care including dopaminergic therapy, levodopa and other anti-PD medications after 14 weeks of treatment, suggesting ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73's potential capability of slowing and reversing symptoms that progress in Parkinson's disease. In addition, the trial confirmed the precision medicine approach of targeting SIGMAR1 as a genetic biomarker in response to ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 may result in improved clinical outcomes.

A 48-week OLE ANAVEX2-73-PDD-EP-001 Phase 2 trial was offered to participants after completion of the double-blind placebo-controlled ANAVEX2-73-PDD-001 Phase 2 trial discussed above. The OLE trial assessed safety, tolerability and efficacy, measuring among others, MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Parts I, II, III, REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ), CGI-I, as well as cognitive efficacy endpoint Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) over a 48-week period.

In March 2023, we reported the preliminary ANAVEX2-73-PDD-EP-001 OLE trial data, which demonstrated longitudinal beneficial effects of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 on the pre-specified primary and secondary objectives. Preliminary analysis reveals that ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 was found to be generally safe and well tolerated; and safety findings in this trial were consistent with the known safety profile of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73. In respect to efficacy, across all efficacy endpoints, patients performed better while on ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73. While all patients were on drug holiday due to COVID-19 between the double-blind study (DB EOT) and the OLE Baseline, the respective efficacy endpoints, including the MDS-UPDRS Part II + III and CGI-I, measured at the end of trial of the DB EOT and the OLE Baseline, were worsening, as expected in a progressive disease like Parkinson's. However, when patients resumed daily oral ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 treatment, a consistent improvement was observed during the extension phase from OLE Baseline through OLE Week 24 and OLE Week 48, respectively. These results are consistent with the pattern observed for all efficacy measures in the extension phase.

We anticipate conducting further clinical trials of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in Parkinson's disease dementia after submitting the results of the trial to regulatory authorities to obtain regulatory guidance.

Also with respect to Parkinson's disease, in January 2021, we were awarded a research grant of $1.0 million from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research to explore utilization of PET imaging biomarkers to enable measurement of target engagement and pathway activation of the SIGMAR1 with clinically relevant doses including in people with Parkinson's disease.

*Rett Syndrome* 

In February 2016, we presented positive preclinical data for ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in Rett syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disease. The data demonstrated dose related significant improvements in an array of behavioral and gait paradigms in a mouse model with an MECP2-null mutation that causes neurological symptoms that mimic Rett syndrome. The study was funded by the International Rett Syndrome Foundation.

Our Rett syndrome program includes several clinical trials that were conducted in a range of patient age demographics and geographic regions, utilizing an oral liquid once-daily formulation of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation and the Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) designation for the treatment of Rett syndrome. The RPD designation is intended to encourage the development of treatments for rare pediatric diseases. Additionally, the FDA has granted Fast Track designation for the ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 clinical development program for the treatment of Rett syndrome. The FDA Fast Track program is designed to facilitate and expedite the development and review of new drugs to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of serious and life-threatening conditions. An earlier application for a proposed Rett syndrome study in the United States resulted in the FDA requesting additional information. The resulting clinical hold and subsequent partial clinical hold have since been removed after the Company satisfactorily provided the additional information requested. At the present time, the Company does not plan to conduct a clinical trial in the United States. The following is a summary of clinical trials conducted by the Company in Rett Syndrome. The first Phase 2 trial, (ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73-RS-001), took place in the United States, and was completed in December 2020. This trial was a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy trial of oral liquid ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 formulation in 25 adult female patients with Rett syndrome over a 7-week treatment period including ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73-specific genomic precision medicine biomarkers. The primary endpoint of the trial was safety. The dosing of 5 mg ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 was well-tolerated and demonstrated dose-proportional PK. All secondary efficacy endpoints of the trial showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful response in the Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire ("<u>RSBQ</u>") response, when compared to placebo, in the intent to treat ("<u>ITT</u>") cohort (all participants, p = 0.011). 66.7% of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 treated subjects showed a statistically significant improvement in RSBQ response as compared to 10% of the subjects on placebo in the ITT cohort (all participants, p = 0.011). ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 treatment resulted in a sustained improvement in CGI-I response throughout the 7-week clinical trial, when compared to placebo in the ITT cohort (all participants, p = 0.014). Consistent with previous ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 clinical trials, patients carrying the common form of the SIGMAR1 gene treated with ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 experienced stronger improvements in the prespecified efficacy endpoints. This clinical trial was funded, in part, by a financial grant from the International Rett Syndrome Foundation of $0.6 million. No other clinical trials with ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 related to Rett syndrome have been conducted in the United States.

The second, international trial of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 for the treatment of Rett syndrome, called the AVATAR trial, commenced in June 2019. This trial took place in Australia and the United Kingdom using a higher dose than the U.S. based Phase 2 trial for Rett syndrome. The trial was a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in 33 adult patients over a 7-week treatment period including ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 specific precision medicine biomarkers. Based upon the input from the successful U.S. Phase 2 Rett syndrome trial (ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73-RS-001), we updated the endpoints for the AVATAR trial (ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73-RS-002) to appropriately assess the clinically meaningful outcome following International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. These updates were approved by the respective regulatory authorities in the U.K. and in Australia, respectively, where the AVATAR trial was conducted.

The data from the AVATAR trial was released in February 2022. The clinical trial met all primary and secondary efficacy and safety endpoints, with consistent improvements in primary efficacy endpoint, RSBQ response (p = 0.037), and secondary efficacy endpoints, Anxiety, Depression, and Mood Scale (ADAMS) (p = 0.010) and CGI-I (p = 0.037) response. Efficacy endpoints demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in Rett syndrome symptoms. Convenient once daily oral liquid doses of up to 30 mg of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 were also well tolerated with good medication compliance. All patients who participated in the trial were eligible to receive ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 under a voluntary open label extension protocol and subsequent Compassionate Use Program.

The very first trial of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 in pediatric Rett syndrome patients, the EXCELLENCE trial, completed enrollment in February 2023. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 trial in pediatric patients with Rett syndrome included trial sites in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. 92 pediatric patients with Rett syndrome between the ages of 5 through 17 years were treated daily with up to 30 mg ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73. Participants were randomized 2:1 (ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73:placebo) for 12 weeks, followed by a week 16 safety visit and topline results from this trial were announced in early January 2024.

After 12 weeks, the study showed improvement on the key co-primary endpoint RSBQ, which is a detailed 45-item questionnaire for assessing multiple Rett syndrome characteristics by the patients' caregivers. The other co-primary endpoint, the CGI-I, which represents a less granular assessment by the site investigators using a seven-point scoring (one="very much improved" to seven="very much worse"), was not met.

In an ad-hoc analysis, using the predefined mixed-effect model for repeated measure (MMRM) method, after 12 weeks of treatment, ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73-treated patients improved LS Mean (SE) -12.93 (2.150) points on their RSBQ total score compared to LS Mean (SE) -8.32 (2.537) points in placebo-treated patients. The LS Mean difference (SE) of -4.61 (2.439) points between treated and placebo groups did not reach statistical significance (n=77; p=0.063). ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73-treated patients demonstrated a rapid onset of action with improvements at 4 weeks after treatment with a RSBQ total score LS Mean (SE) -10.32 (2.086) points in the drug-treated group compared to a LS Mean (SE) -5.67 (2.413) points in placebo-treated patients. The LS Mean difference of -4.65 (2.233) points between treated and placebo groups was statistically significant (n=77; p=0.041).

The key secondary endpoint, the ADAMS, trended favorably. In the same analysis, scores for all RSBQ and ADAMS subscales improved over the course of the study. Collectively, the RSBQ and ADAMS demonstrated improvements in multiple areas, impacting positively in particular repetitive movements, nighttime disruptive behaviors, and social avoidance.

A preliminary review of the safety results indicates there were no new safety signals in the EXCELLENCE study, reinforcing the favorable and manageable safety profile observed with ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 to date.

All patients who participated in the trial were eligible to receive ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 under a voluntary open label extension protocol, which was completed in June 2024.

A high enrollment rate in the Open Label Extension ("<u>OLE</u>") of over 91% and the high level of requests for the Compassionate Use Program (93%) provide solid numerical evidence for the reported positive Real World Evidence (RWE) from patients with Rett syndrome under Compassionate Use Authorization. Families whose children were previously on drug or placebo in the placebo-controlled trial commented favorably on the improvement of their child's daily life due to ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>2-73 treatment in the Compassionate Use Program.

*Schizophrenia*

In March 2024, we commenced the U.S. FDA-cleared ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>3-71-SZ-001 clinical trial: a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial in schizophrenia. The trial consists of two parts to explore multiple ascending doses in individuals with schizophrenia followed by a 28-day treatment period in a larger cohort. The trial will utilize standard clinical outcome measures for schizophrenia including the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS), and novel fluid and electrophysiological biomarkers will also be assessed, leveraging several advances in electroencephalography/event-related potential (EEG/ERP) biomarkers in schizophrenia developed in collaboration with the industry-led ERP Biomarker Qualification Consortium. In addition to the electrophysiological biomarkers, we are also applying novel neuroinflammatory, metabolomic, and transcriptomic biomarkers at the intersection of schizophrenia pathophysiology and ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>3-71's novel, dual mechanism of action.

Preliminary results from Part A of the ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>3-71-SZ-001 clinical trial, consisting of a multiple ascending dose study in 16 participants, demonstrated a dose-dependent effect of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>3-71 on two key EEG biomarkers in patients with schizophrenia. The effects were most pronounced in the higher dose group indicating a dose-dependent pharmacodynamic effect. The observed changes reversed known electroencephalography (EEG) and ERP biomarker abnormalities associated with schizophrenia. These EEG biomarkers correlate with positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia.

In May 2025 we announced the completion of enrollment of Part B of the placebo-controlled Phase 2 study, which includes more participants and a longer treatment duration, and will provide more comprehensive data on the efficacy and safety of ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>3-71 in schizophrenia. We expect to report top-line data of the Phase 2 ANAVEX<sup>®</sup>3-71-SZ-001 clinical trial in the second half of 2025.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds to us from the sale of our securities under this prospectus. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we currently expect to use the net proceeds that we receive from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The expected use of net proceeds of this offering represents our current intentions based on our present plans and business conditions. We cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this offering.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, "at-the-market" offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through one or more underwriters or dealers (acting as principal or agent), through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

● at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

● at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

● at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

● at negotiated prices.

A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

● the name or names of the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any;

● the purchase price of the securities or other consideration therefor, and the proceeds, if any, we will receive from the sale;

● any over-allotment or other options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

● any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents' or underwriters' compensation;

● any public offering price;

● any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

● any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any over-allotment option. If a dealer is used in the sale of securities, we or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time.

We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

We may provide agents, underwriters and dealers with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents, underwriters or dealers may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents, underwriters and dealers, or their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

All securities we may offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

Any underwriters that are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid, however, the passive market maker's bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

**Nevada Anti-Takeover Law and Charter and Bylaws Provisions**

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.3793 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. Our bylaws provide that these sections do not apply.

There are no provisions in our articles of incorporation or our bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our Company.

**Indemnification Of Directors And Executive Officers And Limitation On Liability.**

Our Bylaws provide that any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law against expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such proceeding.

The Bylaws also provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law or otherwise, as well as their rights under the Bylaws.

The Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another Company, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person.

Nevada Revised Statutes 78.751 and 78.7502 have provisions that provide for discretionary and mandatory indemnification of officers, directors, employees, and agents of a corporation. Under these provisions, such persons may be indemnified by a corporation against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter, the Nevada Revised Statues provide that he must be indemnified by the Company against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statues also provides that any discretionary indemnification, unless ordered by a court or advanced by the Company, may be made only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: by the stockholders; by the Company's Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to that act, suit or proceeding; if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

**Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.** 

Our Bylaws provide that any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law against expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such proceeding.

The Bylaws also provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law or otherwise, as well as their rights under the Bylaws.

The Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another Company, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person.

Nevada Revised Statutes 78.751 and 78.7502 have provisions that provide for discretionary and mandatory indemnification of officers, directors, employees, and agents of a corporation. Under these provisions, such persons may be indemnified by a corporation against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter, the Nevada Revised Statues provide that he must be indemnified by the Company against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statues also provides that any discretionary indemnification, unless ordered by a court or advanced by the Company, may be made only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: by the stockholders; by the Company's Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to that act, suit or proceeding; if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person connected with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

† Filed herewith.

\* To be filed by amendment or as an exhibit to a document to be incorporated by reference herein in connection with an offering of the offered securities.

**Item 17. Undertakings.** 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" exhibit attached to the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

*Provided, however,* Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
 Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included
 in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof. *Provided, however,* that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, that the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**SIGNATURES** 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of New York, state of New York, on July 14, 2025.

Re: Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Anavex Life Sciences Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 and the related prospectus (the "Registration Statement") filed on the date of this letter by the Company, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to the registration of up to an aggregate amount of $300,000,000 of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this opinion letter have the meanings given to those terms in the Registration Statement.

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of 17 CFR § 601(b)(5)(i), and no opinion is expressed in this letter as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, other than as expressly stated in this letter with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

You have requested our opinion as to the matters set forth below in connection with the Registration Statement. For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Company's articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, and the corporate action of the Company that provides for the issuance of the Shares, and we have made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. We have examined and relied upon certificates of public officials and, as to certain matters of fact that are material to our opinion, we have also relied on certificates made by officers of the Company. In rendering our opinion, in addition to the assumptions that are customary in opinion letters of this kind, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on the documents we have examined, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, that the Registration Statement has become effective and has been properly filed, and that the Company will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of common stock available with respect to any of the Shares issued after the date of this letter. We have not verified any of these assumptions.

Anavex Life Sciences Corp. July 14, 2025 Page 2

This opinion is rendered as of the date of this letter and is limited to matters of Nevada corporate law, including applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other state, the federal law of the United States, or the effect of any applicable federal or state securities laws.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, when an issuance of the Shares has been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Company, and, when such Shares have been issued and paid for as described in the Registration Statement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption "Legal Matters". In giving our consent we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations under the Securities Act.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Snell & Wilmer L.L.P.
