Certain clinical assets, properties, and rights of the Clinic shall be excluded from the Purchased Assets, including patient lists, charts, records and ledgers, all contracts with Payors, and all Health Care Permits (collectively, the "Clinical Assets").

The APA contains a Purchase Price adjustment calculation whereby if the Post Closing Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, and if the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, which amount will be first set off from the Holdback Amount.

The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and its decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Company, or the Seller in lieu thereof, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Company or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Company and Buyer.

Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be due (x) within ten (10) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within ten (10) Business Days of the resolution described above.

Seller represents that it is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions or securities of companies in a similar stage of development and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the INVO Preferred. Seller also represents that it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the INVO Preferred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.5 <u>Receipt of Information</u>. Seller has received all the information such party considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to receive the INVO Preferred subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Seller represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the lawyer regarding the sale of the INVO Preferred and the business, properties, prospects, and financial condition of Buyer and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Buyer possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to the Seller or to which the Seller has had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify in any way the representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, or any of the rights of the Seller, as applicable, provided for under this Agreement or any other rights it may have under applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.6 <u>Accredited Investor</u>. Seller is an "Accredited Investor," as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, the Seller shall not own, invest in or otherwise have any interest of any kind, in any fertility practice located anywhere in the State of Indiana (other than Buyer) during such time period. The Seller shall not be prohibited from passively investing or trading in publicly traded stocks, publicly traded bonds, real estate (whether improved, unimproved, residential or commercial), or other forms of passive investment of any type, other than a human fertility practice, for his own account or for his family. It is understood and agreed that this covenant not to compete is given to protect proprietary interests and confidential and/or proprietary information of the Buyer, and is material to the formation of this Agreement and shall survive the termination of this Agreement for the period set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this <u>Section 7.5.1</u> shall not apply to any: (i) charitable medical services; (ii) unpaid medical services for friends and/or family members; (iii) giving or participating in any lectures or presentations regarding the practice of medicine; (iv) medical services provided by the Seller as an employee of the Company; or (v) those activities specifically set forth on Exhibit F (the "<u>Excluded Activities</u>").

In the event Buyer seeks injunctive relief, the Seller agrees that Buyer shall not be required to post a bond. The Seller hereby agrees and stipulates that the provisions of this <u>Section 7.5</u> are reasonable and necessary (i) to protect Buyer from any unfair competition on behalf of the Seller, (ii) to protect Buyer from the Seller taking advantage of any relationships, information, technology or know-how the Seller would not have enjoyed or known but for the Seller' relationship to the Company, to the detriment of the Buyer, and (iii) to otherwise protect the business of the Buyer and would not be unduly burdensome to the Seller and that the Seller is willing and able to compete in other geographical areas not prohibited by this <u>Section 7.5</u> without imposing a hardship on the Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.3 The Seller hereby agrees and stipulates that the damages which would be suffered by Buyer in the event Seller breaches any provision contained in this <u>Section 7.5</u> would be difficult to measure and would not be an adequate remedy to Buyer for the breach thereof; and, for this reason, and for other reasons, the Seller hereby agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to, in addition to injunctive relief, monetary damages resulting from the breach of any covenant contained herein. The Seller agrees that, in the event any litigation should ever arise concerning the non-competition or other restrictive provision contained in this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction shall be, and it is hereby, specifically authorized, but only if the same shall be necessary to enforce such provisions as written or as modified, to restrict the time, scope, area, amount or other enforceable aspect of such provision, by the least extent possible in order to enable the court to enter a judgment forcing such provisions to the greatest extent legally permissible, even if in modified form.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.4 The Seller further agrees that for the five (5) year period following the Closing, the Seller will not, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, hire, influence, or seek to solicit, hire, or influence any employee or contractor of the New PC or Buyer to terminate his or her employment or engagement with the New PC or the Buyer, or (ii) call on or solicit any patient, supplier, Payor, referral source or other business relation of the Buyer, the New PC or any of their respective Affiliates (including any Person that was a patient, supplier, Payor, referral source or other potential business relation of the Company at any time during the thirty-six (36) month period immediately prior to the date hereof), to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business with the Buyer, the New PC or any of their respective Affiliates or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such patient, supplier, Payor, referral source or business relation and the Buyer, the New PC or any of their respective Affiliates (including making any negative statements or communications about the Buyer, the New PC or any of their respective Affiliates); provided, however, that this provision is not intended to restrict patient choice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.5 The Seller agrees that during any period during which the Seller is in material breach of the covenant not to compete provided above, the time period of this covenant shall be extended for an amount of time that the Seller is in breach hereof. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that a full, valuable, and complete consideration for the agreement and covenant not to compete contained in this <u>Section 7.5</u> has been or will be received by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6 <u>Further Assurances</u>. From and after the Execution Date, upon the reasonable request of either the Seller or the Buyer, each of the parties hereto shall do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out and/or evidence the Contemplated Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 <u>Limitations on Liability</u>. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.1 to the contrary, the Company and the Seller will not have any obligation to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to <u>Section 10.1(a)</u> in respect of any Loss unless the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons pursuant to <u>Section 10.1(a)</u> exceeds $100,000, at which point the full amount of all such Losses shall be recoverable, starting from the first dollar of such Losses; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the foregoing limitations will not apply to (a) claims for indemnification pursuant to <u>Section 10.1(a)</u> in respect of breaches of, or inaccuracies in, the Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties set forth in <u>Sections 3.12</u> (<u>Tax Matters</u>.), (b) claims based upon fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, or (c) claims related to any Excluded Assets or any Excluded Liabilities.

The Buyer will not have any obligation to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to <u>Section 10.3(a)</u> in respect of any Loss unless the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to <u>Section 10.3(a)</u> exceeds $100,000, at which point the full amount of all such Losses shall be recoverable, starting from the first dollar of such Losses; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the foregoing limitations will not apply to (a) claims for indemnification pursuant to the representations and warranties set forth in <u>Sections 5.1 through 5.4</u>, (b) claims based upon fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, or (c) claims related to the operation of the Business or use of the Purchased Assets after Closing.

No claim may be made or suit instituted seeking indemnification pursuant to <u>Sections 10.1(a)</u> or <u>10.3(a)</u> for any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty unless a written notice describing such breach or inaccuracy in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnified Person, is provided to the Indemnifying Person: (a) at any time prior to the fifth (5) year anniversary of the Execution Date, in the case of any breach of, or inaccuracy in, the Fundamental Representations and claims of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation; or (b) at any time prior to the sixtieth (60th) day before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account any tolling periods and other extensions) for any other claims for indemnification.

All covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any writing or certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date in accordance with the term specified with respect thereto, and if no term is specified with respect thereto, until such covenant or agreement is fully performed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5 <u>Third Party Claims</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5.1 <u>Notice of a Claim</u>. If any third party notifies an Indemnified Person with respect to any matter which may give rise to an Indemnity Claim against an Indemnifying Person under this <u>Article 10</u> (a "<u>Third Party Claim</u>"), then the Indemnified Person promptly will give written notice to the Indemnifying Person of such Third Party Claim; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in notifying the Indemnifying Person will relieve the Indemnifying Person from any obligation under this <u>Article 10</u> except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices the Indemnifying Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5.2 <u>Assumption of Defense, etc</u>. The Indemnifying Person, at its sole cost and expense, will be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and will have the right to defend the Indemnified Person against the Third Party Claim by appointing reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person and so long as (a) the Indemnifying Person gives written notice to the Indemnified Person within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice of the Third Party Claim that it will defend the Indemnified Person against such Third Party Claim and irrevocably agrees in writing that it will indemnify the Indemnified Person against all Losses arising out of, or resulting from, such Third Party Claim, (b) the Third Party Claim involves only claims for monetary damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person, (c) the Indemnified Person has not been advised by counsel that a conflict exists between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, (d) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, (e) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or arise in connection with a Tax claim to which the Buyer is a party, (f) settlement of, an adverse judgment with respect to, or the Indemnifying Person's conduct of the defense of the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Person, likely to be adverse to the Indemnified Person's reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential customers, suppliers or other commercial relationships material to the conduct of its business) and (g) the Indemnifying Person conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnified Person may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Indemnifying Person will pay the fees and expenses of separate co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Person that are incurred prior to, and during the course of, the Indemnifying Person's assumption of control of the defense of the Third Party Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5.3 <u>Limitations on Indemnifying Person</u>. The Indemnifying Person will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (a) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Person of money as the sole relief for the claimant, (b) results in the full and general release of the Buyer Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, from all Liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim and (c) involves no finding or admission of any violation of Laws or the rights of any Person and no adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5.4 <u>Indemnified Person's Control</u>. If the Indemnifying Person does not deliver the notice contemplated by clause (a) of <u>Section 10.5.2</u> within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Person has given notice of the Third Party Claim, at any time fails to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently or is or becomes unable to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to <u>Section 10.5.2</u>, the Indemnified Person may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Person need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Person in connection therewith). If such notice is given on a timely basis and the Indemnifying Person conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently but any of the other conditions in <u>Section 10.5.2</u> is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnified Person may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that for purposes of determining whether the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by the entry of any such judgment consented to, or any such compromise or settlement effected, without its prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event that the Indemnified Person conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this <u>Section 10.5.4</u>, the Indemnifying Person will remain responsible for any and all other Losses that the Indemnified Person may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this <u>Article 10</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.6 <u>Direct Claims</u>. In the event that any Indemnified Person wishes to make a claim for indemnification under this <u>Article 10</u>, other than a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall give written notice of such claim to each Indemnifying Person. Any such notice shall describe the breach or inaccuracy and other material facts and circumstances upon which such claim is based and the estimated amount of Losses involved, in each case, in reasonable detail in light of the facts then known to the Indemnified Person; provided that, no defect in the information contained in such notice from the Indemnified Person to any Indemnifying Person will relieve such Indemnifying Person from any obligation under this <u>Article 10</u>, except to the extent such failure to include information actually and materially prejudices such Indemnifying Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.7 <u>Materiality Qualifications</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all references in this Agreement and the Schedules hereto to "material," "material respects" and "Material Adverse Effect" (and similar materiality qualifications) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder and for purposes of whether there has been a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.8 <u>Manner of Payment</u>. Any payment to be made by the Company, Seller, INVO or the Buyer, as the case may be, pursuant to this <u>Article 10</u> will be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Company, Seller, INVO or the Buyer, as the case may be, to an account designated by the applicable Indemnified Person, within ten (10) days after the determination thereof. The Buyer Indemnified Persons will be entitled to (but will not be required to) set off any amounts due or payable to any of the Buyer Indemnified Persons by the Seller pursuant to this <u>Article 10</u> by setting off against any other amounts otherwise due and payable by any of the Buyer Indemnified Persons or any of their Affiliates to the Seller. In the event any Loss to any Buyer Indemnified Person, the Seller's aggregate liability hereunder to such Buyer Indemnified Person will be reduced by the insurance proceeds actually received in connection with such Loss (less costs incurred for collecting such insurance proceeds and increases in premiums). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither Buyer nor the Seller shall be liable under this <u>Article 10</u> for any Losses that are for exemplary or punitive damages, except to the extent paid or payable to a third party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.9 <u>Additional Agreements</u>. The right of any Buyer Indemnified Person or the Seller Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this <u>Article 10</u> will not be affected by any investigation conducted by, for, or on behalf of any party, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time by any party or any party's Representatives, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.10 <u>Exclusive Remedy</u>. From and after the Closing, subject to any claim based on fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation which will not be so limited by this <u>Section 10.10</u> and the availability of specific performance pursuant to <u>Sections 7.5</u> or other equitable remedy, the indemnification provisions provided for in this <u>Article 10</u> will be the exclusive remedy for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.11 <u>Tax Treatment</u>. All indemnification and other payments under this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, be treated for all income Tax purposes as adjustments to the aggregate consideration paid hereunder. None of the parties shall take any position on any Tax Return, or before any Governmental Authority, that is inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by any applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.12 <u>Acknowledgment</u>. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that any Loss suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons may include, *inter alia*, not only Losses affecting the Buyer directly but also Losses affecting the Company. Any Loss affecting the Company shall also be deemed to be a Loss affecting the Buyer for purposes of this <u>Article 10</u>. With respect to such Losses, the Buyer (and not the Company or, following the Closing, the holder(s) of Equity Securities of the Company), shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.13 <u>Limited Right of Set-Off</u>. Upon the mutual agreement of Buyer and Company, Buyer may set off any amounts owed by Company and/or Seller against any payments otherwise due to Company and/or Seller under this Agreement. Except as mutually agreed, Buyer shall have no right to set off any sums claimed to be owed by the Company or Seller to Buyer against any payment due to the Company or Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Buyer's prohibition against a set-off under this <u>Section 10.13</u> shall not (i) preclude any other rights or remedies that may be available to the Buyer or any Buyer Indemnified Party, whether provided by law, equity, statute, any other agreement between the parties or otherwise, or (ii) impact the procedures set forth in <u>Section 2.10</u>.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1 <u>Fees and Expenses</u>. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated pursuant hereto, each party shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by it, in connection with, or in anticipation of, this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications required or permitted to be delivered, given or otherwise provided under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered, given or otherwise provided: (a) by electronic mail (in which case, it shall be effective on the Business Day sent or, if not sent on a Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day); or (b) by overnight delivery by a nationally recognized courier service (in which case, it will be effective on the Business Day after being deposited with such courier service), in each case, to the address listed below:

**INVO Fertility Signs Definitive Purchase Agreement to Acquire Indiana-Based Fertility Clinic "Family Beginnings"**

***Signing of definitive purchase agreement represents critical next step in completing previously announced acquisition***

 ****

SARASOTA, Fla. and INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., December 17, 2025 -- INVO Fertility, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVF) ("INVO" or the "Company"), a healthcare fertility company focused on the establishment, acquisition, and operation of fertility clinics and related businesses and technologies, today announced that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Family Beginnings, P.C., a respected fertility clinic serving patients across Indiana and the broader Midwest.

The execution of the purchase agreement marks a critical milestone following the Company's November 27, 2025 announcement of its intent to acquire Family Beginnings, and represents the next key step toward completing the transaction and advancing INVO's strategy to expand its footprint of fertility care centers across the United States.

Family Beginnings generated revenue of approximately $1.2 million and net income of approximately $0.2 million for the trailing 12-month period ended September 30, 2025.

"We are pleased to move forward with this strategic acquisition, which aligns with our mission to increase access to advanced fertility care," said Steve Shum, CEO of INVO. "Family Beginnings, under the leadership of James Donahue MD, brings a strong clinical reputation, an experienced team, and a shared commitment to patient-centered, cost-effective fertility solutions. The closing of the transaction remains subject to standard conditions and we expect it to occur no later than February 27, 2026. We look forward to integrating its operations into INVO and to working closely with the Family Beginnings team to expand on the solid foundation they have built and further grow the practice within the local market."

Founded in the late 1990s, Family Beginnings has served thousands of patients across Indiana and surrounding states. Known for its personalized care model and strong success rates, the clinic offers a full suite of reproductive services, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intravaginal culture (IVC) using our INVOcell device, intrauterine insemination (IUI), third-party reproduction services, fertility preservation, advanced diagnostic testing, and comprehensive patient education and support programs.

INVO will acquire the non-clinical assets of Family Beginnings through INVO Centers LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, for a combined purchase price of $750,000. Of this amount, $350,000 will be paid in cash at closing, less a holdback amount of $150,000, and $400,000 will be paid in the Company's preferred stock to be designated as Series D Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. Dr. Donahue will continue to lead the clinic under an agreement with an initial term of three years.

**About INVO Fertility**

We are a healthcare services fertility company dedicated to expanding access to assisted reproductive technology ("ART") care to patients in need. Our principal commercial strategy is focused on building, acquiring, and operating fertility clinics, including "INVO Centers" dedicated primarily to offering the intravaginal culture ("IVC") procedure enabled by our INVOcell® medical device ("INVOcell") and US-based, profitable in vitro fertilization ("IVF") clinics. We have two operational INVO Centers in the United States and one IVF clinic. We also continue to engage in the sale and distribution of INVOcell to third-party owned and operated fertility clinics. INVOcell is a proprietary and revolutionary medical device, and the first to allow fertilization and early embryo development to take place *in vivo* within the woman's body. The IVC procedure provides patients with a more connected, intimate, and affordable experience in comparison to other ART treatments. We believe the IVC procedure can deliver comparable results at a fraction of the cost of traditional IVF and is a significantly more effective treatment than intrauterine insemination.
