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, Dec. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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.
