Final Day Trading 
 
 
Tampere, Finland and Guildford, UK. 23 June 2009, Inion (LSE: IIN.L), a company 
focused on the development and commercialisation of novel biodegradable medical 
implants, announces that today is the last day its Ordinary Shares will be 
listed on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading 
on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities. Inion Ordinary 
Shares will be cancelled from admission to the Official List effective from 8.00 
am on 24 June 2009. 
 
 
The Directors believe that following the Delisting, the Company will be better 
placed as an unlisted company either (i) to secure potential investors and/or 
buyers of certain assets in order to raise the necessary funds to execute the 
business plan, focused on the spinal implant range, or (ii) failing such 
additional investment/disposals, to facilitate a liquidation of the Company. 
 
 
Chris Lee, Inion's CEO, said: "2009 has been difficult for Inion given the 
operational progress the Company made during 2008, particularly in the US. We 
are pleased with the way discussions are progressing across a range of strategic 
options, which, if they come to fruition, will allow us to refocus on 
operational activities to build the business. We still face many challenges, but 
the Directors believe that the increased flexibility of being unlisted positions 
Inion better to progress these discussions to a satisfactory conclusion for our 
shareholders." 
From 24 June, investors will be able to receive news and information about Inion 
from the Company's website www.inion.com  and can register for news updates to
