Key Markets Update

• Uzbekistan First Sales Contract Signed
• Central Asia sales commenced
• Zimbabwe: Positive Completion of re-Validation Study, tender for SUS imminent
• Europe Distribution Network Expanded
• China on track to meet FY2026 forecast

TruScreen Group Limited (NZX/ASX: TRU), (“TruScreen” or “the Company”), a global leader in AI-
enabled cervical cancer screening, is pleased to update investors of activities in its key markets.
Uzbekistan Sales Contract Signed
TruScreen has signed its first sales contract for distribution in Uzbekistan with an order of 8 of its unique
AI enable cervical cancer screening devices to be shipped during the March quarter of FY2026. The sale
of 8 devices and 8,280 Single Use Sensors (SUS) will be used for public screening programs, training and
distribution to private women’s health clinics.
The shipment of the 8 devices and SUS will enable the training of clinicians for a 500-patient pilot program
to facilitate public screening in Uzbekistan and commercial activity with private and public hospitals.
The first stage of distribution focuses on the capital, Tashkent.
The pilot program will assess cervical screening options for women of Uzbekistan and the benefits of
TruScreen when used for public screening for cervical cancer. The pilot will compare the efficacy of
TruScreen to Pap tests in detecting early cancerous changes in the cervix.
TruScreen’s Uzbekistan partner is also collaborating with the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of
Uzbekistan, for training of clinicians and marketing TruScreen’s effectiveness as a non-invasive,
accurate, and real-time screening solution for a low pathology infrastructure environment.
Cervical cancer is the second most frequent cancer among women in Uzbekistan. It is estimated that
each year in Zimbabwe 1,887 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 1,103 die from the
disease*. Uzbekistan has over 11 million women of screening age**.
Central Asia sales commenced
TruScreen’s Central Asia program has commercial success with the sale of 18 devices and 3,240 SUS to
our distributor, JSC IMS. This sale will support programs in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Armenia and
Belarus, which have a combined screening age population of over 12 million women**.
When combined with the Uzbekistan sales contract above, this provides 26 TruScreen AI enabled
devices and 11,520 Single Use Sensors (SUS) to be used to screen a small fraction of the more than 23
million** screening aged women of our Central Asian markets.

Zimbabwe re- validation completed and report released
The re-validation study in Zimbabwe was completed by the National Microbiology Reference Laboratory,
validating the suitability of TruScreen’s AI-enabled, real-time screening device for Zimbabwe’s public
cervical cancer screening initiatives.
The re-validation study evaluated TruScreen and HPV DNA tests on 139 women. The study confirms that
the TruScreen results were in the expected range of prevalence (the percentage of HPV positive women
who have high grade pre-cancerous changes in the cervix) and recommended TruScreen as a primary
screening test for locations where HPV DNA testing is not available and as a confirmation test for HPV
positive women in Zimbabwe.
The re-validation was a pre-requisite to TruScreen being used in ongoing screening nationally in
Zimbabwe. Truscreen anticipates that over 20,000 Zimbabwean women will undergo cervical cancer
screening using Truscreen in public screening programs in CY2026.
Cervical cancer is the most frequent cancer among women in Zimbabwe, with an extremely high cervical
cancer mortality rate – estimated at 64 per 100,000, 38 times higher than New Zealand and Australia’s
1.7 per 100,000
*
, with an estimated 3,043 new cases of cervical cancer each year and 1,976 deaths
annually
*
. The high HIV prevalence in Zimbabwe exacerbates the cervical cancer infection - women living
with HIV are 6 times more likely to develop cervical cancer compared to women without HIV.

TruScreen European distribution network expanded
Following the recently announced appointment of Renovate Biologicals as TruScreen’s commercial
partner in Western Europe and the Middle East, TruScreen will also be launched into Romania and Italy
following the authorisation of Chinni Oy Euro Asia SRL to carry out commercial activities in these two
countries.
Chinni is commercialising TruScreen in Europe and Central Asia. With a combined screening age
population of 25 million women**, both Italy and Romania are European Union members and
TruScreen’s existing EU certification forms their regulatory approval for sale.

China on track to meet FY26 sales forecasts.
TruScreen’s largest and oldest market, China, is on track to meet its FY2026 sales forecasts. Adding to
this are sales into India and Indonesia – the world’s first and fourth most populous countries supported
by on track sales performance in Mexico and Vietnam. Moving into FY2027 the growth of all these
markets will be enhanced by expansion in South Africa, Nigeria, Rwanda and Eswatini in Africa, and
Thailand and Malaysia in the ASEAN region.

Glossary:
Pap test/smear (the Papanicolaou smear) test involves gathering a sample of cells from the cervix, with
a special brush. The sample is placed on a glass slide or in a bottle containing a solution to preserve the
cells. Then it is sent to a laboratory for a pathologist to examine under a
microscope. https://www.cancer.net/navigating-cancer-care/diagnosing-cancer/tests-and-
procedures/pap-test
LBC/TCT (the liquid-based cytology) test, transfers a thin layer of cells, collected with a brush from the
cervix, onto a slide after removing blood or mucus from the sample. The sample is preserved so other
tests can be done at the same time, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV)
test https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/cervical-cancer/diagnosis

HPV is a virus and is short for human papillomavirus and are a group of more than 200 related viruses.
Each HPV type has a number. For example, HPV 6, HPV 11, HPV 16, and HPV 18 are just 4 types of HPV
that a person might have. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/risk-prevention/hpv/what-is-hpv.html

HPV DNA is the genetic material of the human papilloma virus.

HPV (human papilloma virus) test is done on a sample of cells removed from the cervix, the same
sample used for the Pap test or LBC. This sample is tested for the strains of HPV most commonly linked
to cervical cancer. HPV testing may be done by itself or combined with a Pap test and/or LBC. This test
may also be done on a sample of cells which a person can collect on their own.
https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/cervical-cancer/screening-and-prevention An HPV test looks for
cervical HPV infection. It detects high-risk types of HPV that are more likely to cause precancers and
cancers of the cervix. But an HPV test cannot detect precancer or cancer itself.

Sensitivity and specificity mathematically describe the accuracy of a test which reports the presence
or absence of a condition. If individuals who have the condition are considered "positive" and those who
don't are considered "negative", then sensitivity is a measure of how well a test can identify true positives
and specificity is a measure of how well a test can identify true negatives:
• Sensitivity (true positive rate) is the probability of a positive test result, conditioned on the
individual truly being positive.
• Specificity (true negative rate) is the probability of a negative test result, conditioned on the
individual truly being negative (Sensitivity and specificity – Wikipedia).
