New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 40% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders.

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.

Tenax Therapeutics, Inc. Announces FDA Clearance of IND for TNX-103 for the Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension with Heart Failure Tenax Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has reviewed and cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) Application for TNX-103 (oral levosimendan) for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF), enabling the Company to launch its LEVEL trial, and initiate Phase 3 sites in the fourth quarter of 2023. First Phase 3 study of TNX-103 in PH-HFpEF patients to start in Fourth Quarter 2023 (The LEVEL Study), FDA agreement that 6MWD will be the primary endpoint for both Phase 3 studies, Phase 3 program designed to satisfy FDA’s request for subject drug exposure of 300 patients for 6 months, 100 patients for 1 year (minimum requirements per ICH guidelines), No FDA requirement for a cardiovascular outcomes trial, Oral levosimendan use in PH-HFpEF is protected by USPTO granted patent that will not expire until the end of 2040, There are no FDA-approved treatments for PH-HFpEF, with an estimated prevalence of more than 2,000,000 patients in North America by 2030. Tenax Therapeutics and its CRO partner have already selected more than two-thirds of the research sites targeted to participate in the LEVEL Study, including many of the leading cardiovascular centers in the United States and Canada. Every investigative site that enrolled patients in the HELP Study has been invited to participate in LEVEL, and already 90% have agreed to take part. Levosimendan is a unique potassium ATP channel activator and calcium sensitizer that affects the heart and vascular system through multiple mechanisms of action. Initially discovered and developed by Orion Corporation in Finland, intravenous levosimendan is approved in 58 countries outside the United States for use in hospitalized patients with acutely decompensated heart failure. Tenax Therapeutics has North American rights to develop and commercialize IV (TNX-101), subcutaneous (TNX-102), and oral (TNX-103) formulations of levosimendan. Results of Tenax Therapeutics’ Phase 2 HELP trial of levosimendan in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) demonstrated that IV levosimendan produces potent dilation of the central and pulmonary venous circulations which translates into an improvement in exercise capacity, a discovery that forms the basis for the Phase 3 investigation of Tenax Therapeutics’ potential therapy. To date, no other drug therapy has improved exercise tolerance in patients with PH associated with HFpEF, “a growing epidemic with high morbidity and mortality and no treatment. The clear unmet need and lethal nature of PH-HFpEF must be met with novel solutions at all levels of therapeutic development” (AHA Scientific Advisory, “A Call to Action,” 2022). Tenax Therapeutics is developing novel dosing and a unique formulation of imatinib mesylate, a kinase inhibitor that has received FDA’s orphan designation (March 2020) for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The IMPRES trial, a previous Phase 3 trial, demonstrated that oral imatinib may produce a markedly greater, and much more durable, treatment effect on exercise tolerance, than any other available PAH treatment, alone or in combination, based on the results observed in those patients who were maintained on the full imatinib dose for the majority of the trial. Despite the availability of several classes of pulmonary vasodilators, no existing treatment has been shown to halt progression or induce regression of the disease. Imatinib acts on underlying cellular proliferative pathways associated with PAH and has the potential to be approved as a disease modifying therapy for PAH. New Risk • Nov 14

As previously disclosed, on March 29, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Company no longer satisfied the Bid Price Rule and was therefore subject to delisting (the “Original Notification”). The Company had 180 days, or until September 25, 2023, to achieve compliance with the Bid Price Rule. The Company applied for an extension of the compliance period with Nasdaq, as permitted under the Original Notification. The Company indicated to Nasdaq that it met the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly-held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and provided notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the extended compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by March 25, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notice to the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. The request for a hearing will stay any suspension or delisting action pending the issuance of the hearing panel’s decision. The Extension Notice has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company is currently evaluating its options for regaining compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, even if it maintains compliance with the other listing requirements. Ankündigung • Jul 22

Receives a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its Patent Application Tenax Therapeutics, Inc. announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its patent application with claims covering the use of TNX-103, oral levosimendan, titled: “LEVOSIMENDAN FOR TREATING PULMONARY HYPERTENSION WITH HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION (PH-HFpEF).” The patent, once granted, will have a patent term through December 2040. It will provide the Company with substantial added intellectual property (IP) protection in the United States; Tenax will now have secured IP rights surrounding the use of oral, subcutaneous, and intravenous (IV) administration of levosimendan for the treatment of PH-HFpEF. The patent covering the use of oral levosimendan for the treatment of PH-HFpEF is based on key discoveries from the HELP Study, in which levosimendan-treated PH-HFpEF patients benefited from a statistically significant improvement in 6-minute walk distance of 29 meters (p=0.03) when compared with placebo. When transitioning to the oral daily formulation after a lengthy treatment with the weekly IV formulation, the 6-minute walk results improved further. Price Target Changed • Feb 16

Tenax Receives Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application Covering Use of IV Levosimendan in Pulmonary Hypertension with Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction (PH-HFpEF) Tenax Therapeutics, Inc. announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its patent application with claims covering the use of IV levosimendan in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF). The new claims were made in Tenax Therapeutics’ patent application titled “LEVOSIMENDAN FOR TREATING PULMONARY HYPERTENSION WITH HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION (PH-HFpEF).” The patent is expected to last until 2040 and will provide the Company with substantial added intellectual property (IP) protection for the use of levosimendan in the treatment of PH-HFpEF patients in the United States. This Notice of Allowance further builds upon the Company’s significant IP for levosimendan, which includes U.S. Patent No. 11,213,524 that was issued in January 2022 and covers all medical uses in humans of the subcutaneous formulation of levosimendan. The results of the HELP Study showed that levosimendan-treated PH-HFpEF patients benefited from a statistically significant improvement in 6-minute walk distance of 29 meters (p=0.03) when compared with placebo. When transitioning to the oral daily formulation after a lengthy treatment with the weekly IV formulation, the 6-minute walk results improved further. FDA has confirmed to Tenax Therapeutics that the six-minute walk distance endpoint is acceptable for a Phase 3 registration program for the treatment of PH-HFpEF. Levosimendan is a unique potassium ATP channel activator and calcium sensitizer that affects the heart and vascular system through multiple mechanisms of action. Initially discovered and developed by Orion Corporation in Finland, intravenous levosimendan is approved in over 60 countries outside the United States for use in hospitalized patients with acutely decompensated heart failure. Tenax Therapeutics has North American rights to develop and commercialize IV (TNX-101), subcutaneous (TNX-102), and oral (TNX-103) formulations of levosimendan. Results of Tenax Therapeutics’ Phase 2 trial of levosimendan in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) demonstrated that IV levosimendan produces potent dilation of the central and pulmonary venous circulations which translates into an improvement in exercise capacity, a discovery that forms the basis for the Phase 3 investigation of Tenax Therapeutics’ potential groundbreaking therapy. To date, no other drug therapy has improved exercise tolerance in patients with PH associated with HFpEF, recently referred to as the greater unmet need in cardiovascular disease. Tenax Therapeutics is developing novel dosing and a unique formulation of imatinib mesylate, a kinase inhibitor that has received FDA’s orphan designation (March 2020) for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The IMPRES trial, a previous Phase 3 trial, demonstrated that oral imatinib may produce a markedly greater, and much more durable, treatment effect on exercise tolerance, than any other available PAH treatment, alone or in combination, based on the results observed in those patients who were maintained on the full imatinib dose for the majority of the trial. Despite the availability of several classes of pulmonary vasodilators, no existing treatment has been shown to halt progression or induce regression of the disease. Imatinib acts on underlying cellular proliferative pathways associated with PAH and has the potential to be the first disease modifying therapy for PAH. Board Change • Nov 17
