Molecure Receives Positive IDMC Recommendation To Continue The KITE Clinical Trial Without Changes To The Study Protocol Molecure S.A. has received a positive recommendation from the IDMC to continue the Phase II KITE clinical trial without protocol changes. The trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of OATD-01, a first-in-class CHIT1 inhibitor, in active pulmonary sarcoidosis patients. The IDMC reviewed data collected following the 12-week treatment period for the first 30 patients receiving either OATD-01 or a placebo, recommending that the trial continue in its current form. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommended continuation of the global Phase II PoC study in patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis without changes to the current protocol. The recommendation followed the IDMC’s review of the complete safety and efficacy dataset for an interim analysis in 30 patients. Based on unblinded data, a futility analysis indicated sufficient probability of achieving the primary endpoint—based on differences in PET/CT imaging—and selected secondary endpoints. Preliminary biomarker analysis of blinded data showed inflammatory biomarker trends consistent with OATD-01's expected biological response. Molecure is currently randomizing 20 additional patients for the second and final interim analysis, which will involve a statistical re-evaluation of the required trial size. Biomarker analysis is an important component of this early trial stage. The Company analyzed blinded data from 23 patients, focusing on inflammatory biomarkers. The observed trends suggest anti-inflammatory activity, though definitive conclusions cannot be drawn until the study is unblinded. The KITE study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trial conducted at nearly 30 sites across the US, EU, Norway, and the UK, evaluating a fixed 25 mg dose of OATD-01 over 12 weeks. OATD-01 has therapeutic potential in interstitial lung diseases, including sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, as well as MASH. Ankündigung • Jun 04

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 50% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-zł69m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 50% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.5% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (22% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$5m (zł5.9m revenue, or US$1.7m).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Polish stocks, typically moving 6.6% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-zł69m free cash flow). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (zł20m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.6% average weekly change).

New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: zł31m Forecast net loss in 3 years: zł34m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 20% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-zł81m free cash flow).

Molecure S.A. Receives Approval to Initiate A Phase II Clinical Trial (KITE) for OATD-01 for the Treatment of Pulmonary Sarcoidosis in Selected Countries of the European Union and Norway Molecure S.A. announced that it has received national regulatory approvals from Denmark, France, Greece, Germany and Norway to conduct a Phase II clinical trial for OATD-01, a first-in-class chitotriosidase 1 (CHIT1) inhibitor with disease-modifying potential in pulmonary sarcoidosis. The Phase II clinical trial for OATD-01 is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OATD-01 in approximately 100 patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis, including patients previously receiving other therapies with no clinical improvement and patients previously untreated. Due to the requirement for double blinding in the study, the final unblinded results publication will occur after its completion and is scheduled for the end of 2025. To measure efficacy of OATD-01 in the study, an innovative primary endpoint has been agreed upon with the regulatory authorities, which is the response to 12-week administration of OATD-01, measured by the degree of granulomatous inflammation reduction in the lung parenchyma, assessed by PET/CT imaging. Following the completion of full dosing along with a monitoring period involving approximately 50 patients, an interim analysis (intermediate checkpoint) is planned to evaluate the statistical results by an independent committee and make decisions regarding the study's continuation in terms of patient numbers in early First Quarter of 2025. The study will involve approximately 20-30 centers in the USA, European Union, Norway, and the United Kingdom. The renowned Contract Research Organization (CRO) responsible for organizing and conducting the comprehensive study is Simbec Orion. OATD-01 is an oral, once-daily, first-in-class, and highly selective CHIT1 inhibitor for potential use in the treatment of sarcoidosis. The CHIT1 enzyme is a promising molecular target due to its role in transforming local anti-inflammatory macrophages into pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic types. Blocking CHIT1 activity by OATD-01 has resulted in documented anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects. The OATD-01 molecule has shown strong anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in various disease models and has high therapeutic potential in diverse inflammatory and fibrotic diseases with unmet medical needs, such as sarcoidosis, as well as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), recently relabeled as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). Molecure has obtained orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA for OATD-01 in the indications of sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and has received approval to initiate a Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis in the US, UK, selected countries of the European Union, and Norway. Sarcoidosis is a multi-organ disease of unknown etiology characterized by the formation of granulomatous structures in various organs, primarily in the lungs and lymphatic system. It is a globally occurring disease affecting both men and women with an estimated incidence of 5-50 cases per 100,000 population, with 70% of patients being between 25-45 years old. The most serious and common complication of sarcoidosis is pulmonary fibrosis, usually associated with significant impairment of lung function. Pulmonary fibrosis is the cause of most sarcoidosis-related deaths in Western countries. Ankündigung • May 21

Molecure S.A. Announces First Patient in the OATD-01 Phase 2 KITE Study in Pulmonary Sarcoidosis Molecure S.A. has started the clinical trial where OATD-01 is being administered to patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis as part of a Phase II clinical trial (proof-of-concept in human). The world's first administration of the chitotriosidase 1 (CHIT1) inhibitor (or placebo) to patient took place at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh. As part of the trial, patients will take a daily fixed dose of 25 mg OATD-01 or placebo tablets for 12 weeks. Patient safety will be monitored regularly through laboratory tests, neurological examinations and ECG and spirometry. The Phase II clinical trial for OATD-01 is designed as a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the oral CHIT1 inhibitor (OATD-01) in approximately 100 patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis, including patients both previously receiving other therapies and previously untreated. The study will involve approximately 20-30 centres in the US, the European Union, Norway and the UK. The renowned CRO (Contract Research Organisation) Simbec Orion is responsible for the organization and comprehensive conduct of the study. Due to the double-blinding requirement of the study, publication of the final unblinded results will follow completion of the study and is anticipated by the end of 2025. For the efficacy trial, an innovative primary endpoint has been agreed with the FDA, namely the response to 12-week administration of OATD-01 as measured by the degree of reduction in granulomatous inflammation in the lung parenchyma, as assessed by PET/CT imaging. After approximately 50 patients have completed their participation in the study, a sub-analysis (intermediate checkpoint) will be scheduled to statistically evaluate the results by an independent committee and decide how to proceed with the study in terms of the number of patients.
