New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 24% 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$914k). Earnings have declined by 24% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (over 21x increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m.

Virpax Receives Positive Probudur Results for Dose Range Study Moves Towards Next Steps in IND Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced positive results from a beagle dog dose range finding study. Probudur is the company’s long-acting liposomal bupivacaine formulation injected at a wound site to provide both immediate and extended pain relief. The Company continues to work towards its Investigational New Drug application and this was another important step towards that milestone. The DRF study was conducted to evaluate the tolerance of Probudur when administered by subcutaneous injection to beagle dogs in a dose escalating manner. All the dogs in the DRF study demonstrated positive tolerance to Probudur and no adverse effects were noted. The results of this study suggest that doses of LBL100 up to 90 mg/kg are well tolerated by beagle dogs. Probudur is being developed to achieve the overall goal of safe and effective pain control during the perioperative period and to significantly reduce or eliminate the need for opioids after surgery in approved indications. Probudur is a local anesthetic that binds to the sodium channels, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain. In preclinical studies, Probudur has shown long duration pain control for at least 96 hours, with a rat incisional model demonstrating analgesia for up to five days and in vitro studies demonstrating a slow release of bupivacaine that lasted for up to six days.

Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Reports Positive Results in Human Study for Its Molecular Envelope Technology Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. congratulated Nanomerics on completing a human study using the Molecular Envelope Technology (MET) and showing no moderate to severe adverse events. Virpax uses MET in its Envelta (NES100) and NobrXiol. Envelta is an enkephalin drug product based on a type of nanotechnology delivery approach. The MET is designed to protect and help carry the drug to the brain with the goal of promptly suppressing pain by binding to the delta opioid receptors. Envelta has demonstrated analgesic potential in animal models without the development of opioid tolerance or reward seeking behavior. It is currently being developed in a cooperative research and development agreement with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), an institute/center of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, Virpax uses MET with NobrXiol. NobrXiol is being developed for delivery of cannabidiol in the management of epilepsy in children and adults. NobrXiol utilizes the MET as its delivery system to cross the blood brain barrier, propelling the cannabidiol nanoparticles through the nose to the brain via the olfactory nerve. The drug has received pre-Investigational New Drug (PIND) application guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Nanomerics’s Phase I trial, the SUNLIGHT trial, involved 28 days of administration of OC134, powered by the MET and MET alone as eye drops to healthy volunteers. Dosing twice daily (12 h apart) of the healthy study participants with MET eye drops and OC134 eye drops commenced in December 2024 and was completed in January 2025. The SUNLIGHT trial was a phase I clinical trial; these trials are used to test for the safety, side effects, best dose, and timing of a new treatment. It may also test the best way to give a new treatment (for example, by mouth, infusion into a vein, or injection) and how the treatment affects the body. All volunteers (n=10) completed the dosing schedule without dropouts and volunteers will report for follow up assessments in February 2025. There were no adverse events of moderate or severe severity reported during the clinical phase of the trial and there were no clinically significant individual changes from baseline or notable trends in safety assessments including safety bloods, vital signs, eye examination, 12 lead ECGs and urine analysis. The topical administration of MET and OC134 eye drops on 56 consecutive occasions were well tolerated by healthy volunteers under the condition of the trial. Ankündigung • Feb 14
Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Confirms Positive Results with US Army with Probudur™? for Combat Care Study Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced the completion of the full study that followed the initial Probudur™? pilot study performed by the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) under an existing Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). The USAISR is the U.S. Department of Defense's premier research organization for developing solutions foruma and critical care challenges in combat casualty. This study was designed to determine if Probudur reduces pain behaviors in a rat model of incisional pain. The surgical procedures and assessments were identical to those in the pilot study. The study compared Probudur with free bupivacaine and EXPAREL®?. Various concentrations of Probudur were injected into the tissue around the incision site as well as a saline solution for the control group. Probudur is being developed to achieve the overall goal of safe and effective pain control during theoperative period and to significantly reduce or eliminate the need for opioids after surgery in approved indications. Probudur is a local anesthetic that binds to the sodium channels, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain. In preclinical studies, Probudur has shown long duration pain control for at least 96 hours, with a rat incisional model demonstrating analgesia for up to five days and in vitro studies demonstrating a slow release of bupivacaine that lasted for up to six (6) days.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 134% 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. 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (25% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$1.2m). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (134% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$1.36m market cap).

Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Results of Maximum Tolerated Dose Study for Probudur Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced results for a Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) study in Sprague-Dawley Rats for Probudur. Probudur is Virpax’s injectable long-acting liposomal bupivacaine formulation that is injected at the wound site. Probudur is being developed to significantly reduce or eliminate the need for opioids after surgery in approved indications. Probudur is a local anesthetic that binds to the sodium channel, preventing pain signals from reaching the brain. In pre-clinical trials, Probudur has shown long duration pain control for at least 96 hours, with a rat incisional model demonstrating analgesia for up to five days and in vitro studies demonstrating a slow release of bupivacaine that lasted for up to six days. The study was designed to determine the MTD of free bupivacaine, Probudur, and Probudur plus free bupivacaine when administered as a single subcutaneous injection to the wound. Probudur, with its liposomal formulation, is intended to provide both immediate and extended pain relief at the wound site. The dosing ranges were selected based on a prior preliminary study. All doses of Probudur were well-tolerated. There were no noteworthy effects on body weight, clinical chemistry, hematology, or coagulation. It was also observed that bupivacaine appears to be less toxic in the presence of liposomes than when administrated as a free drug. Histopathology was conducted on the injection site and all treatment groups showed some changes which were minimal to moderate in severity. Effects were slightly more pronounced at the high dose of Probudur. In vivo MTD studies in rats indicated that Probudur provided a better therapeutic window as compared to free bupivacaine.

Virpax Pharmaceuticals Announces Envelta Remains on Track for Trial in Humans Following FDA Review Virpax®?Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that it expects to submit an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) for Envelta in mid-2024 following review of comments made by the US Food and Drug Administration on the Company's Pre-IND submission. If successful, that would allow clinical trials to begin by the middle of 2024. in. Envelta (MET-LENK) is the Company’s non-addictive pain product candidate for acute and chronic pain that is being funded under an in-kind grant from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Envelta utilizes a novel and patented intranasal drug delivery system, Molecular Envelope Technology (MET) to bypass the blood-brain barrier. The MET was developed by Nanomerics Ltd., a UK-based nanotechnology research and development company that has licensed its MET-LENK to Virpax. The nose-to-brain MET platform protects molecules from biodegrading and enhances the bioavailability of product candidates on its transport to the brain. The initial Envelta dose ranging studies in rats and dogs have been completed. The 14-day rat dose range finding study (DRF) showed no treatment related clinical signs or mortality. In addition, there were no related findings in hematology, coagulation, and serum chemistry data. The 14-day DRF study in dogs also showed no treatment related mortality or findings in body temperature, body weight, food consumption, and ophthalmic exam. From an efficacy perspective, a dose-response with intranasal MET-LENK was noted in a Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) anti-hyperalgesia model versus an intranasal placebo and subcutaneous morphine. Administration of the high dose MET-LENK (30 mg/kg) significantly decreased hypersensitivity in treated animals compared to CFA control. Ankündigung • Oct 12

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: US$9.84m This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. 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 (-US$14m free cash flow). Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$9.84m market cap). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$20m net loss in 3 years).

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 American stocks, typically moving 10% 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 Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$14m free cash flow). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$20m net loss in 3 years).

Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Completes Initial Preclinical Studies for VRP324 Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported preclinical pharmacokinetics (PK) results for VRP324 (MET-CBD), a nose-to-brain delivery platform for CBD for the management of seizures in children and adults. In this preclinical PK study, VRP324 was able to deliver cannabidiol (CBD) to the brain after nasal administration in a rodent model. Nasal delivery of VRP324 provided high concentrations of CBD in the brain and the preclinical studies confirm that there were higher levels of CBD in the brain versus the plasma. Virpax believes that VRP324 may achieve higher efficiency via the nasal route compared to the oral CBD product on the market since peripheral exposure via plasma may be reduced by the nose-to-brain delivery. Evidence suggests that compared to the commercialized oral-dosed CBD, the nose-to-brain CBD formulation may have negligible liver first-pass metabolism, thereby avoiding drug to drug interactions and potentially producing fewer side effects. By avoiding the first pass effect, intranasal VRP324 may also eliminate enzymatic degradation. VRP324 uses a preassembled device and cartridge to propel the MET-CBD powder formulation into the nose via the olfactory nerve/bulb. This product candidate has been formulated to potentially treat seizures associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome in patients one year of age and older. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome are rare central nervous system diseases considered serious epileptic encephalopathies that cause different types of epileptic seizures, and cognitive and behavioral changes. These syndromes have historically been resistant to treatment. Ankündigung • Feb 11
Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Reports Favorable Preclinical Safety Data for Envelta™ for the Treatment of Acute and Chronic Pain Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported promising results from preclinical dose range finding studies for Envelta (NES100), Virpax’s endogenous enkephalin intranasal spray for acute and chronic pain, including pain associated with cancer. These findings complement previous positive preclinical toxicology results and support the Company’s continuing development of this potential non-addictive treatment for acute and chronic pain. Investigational New Drug (IND) enabling studies for Envelta are being performed under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) entered into by Virpax and the NIH in August of 2020. Under the cooperation agreement, the studies are performed and funded by the NIH. Pursuant to the CRADA, NCATS conducted a 14-day intranasal dose range finding toxicity study of Envelta in rats with a 14-day recovery period. This study showed no adverse related findings in hematology, coagulation and serum chemistry data, with no treatment related toxicology findings or mortality noted. A 14-day intranasal dose range finding toxicity study of Envelta in dogs with a 14-day recovery period was also conducted and showed no adverse toxicologic findings. Envelta is an investigational intranasal formulation intended to improve enkephalin transport to the brain. Enkephalin is a naturally occurring (endogenous) peptide that is not easily administered in its original form. Envelta uses a preassembled device and cartridge to propel the enkephalin formulation through the nose to the brain by flowing along the olfactory nerve pathway. The Molecular Envelope Technology is designed to protect the drug and help carry it to the brain, enabling it to cross the blood-brain barrier to suppress pain by binding to the delta-opioid receptors. Envelta™ has demonstrated analgesic potential in animal models without developing opioid tolerance, withdrawal, respiratory depression, euphoria, or addiction associated with the use of morphine. Once the Envelta IND-enabling studies are submitted to the FDA, the data could potentially be cross-referenced to cancer pain and PTSD INDs. Ankündigung • Jan 19
Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Charles River Laboratories, a renowned CRO engaged by Virpax to perform Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required pre-clinical studies, has completed a single dose pharmacokinetic study of dermal administration of Epoladerm in minipigs as part of the required Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") enabling trials. Single-dose transdermal delivery of Epoladerm was well-tolerated in all minipigs and no treatment-related clinical observations, changes in body weight, or dermal irritation were observed. All Epoladerm treated animals had plasma levels of Epoladerm confirming transdermal absorption. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was reached at 4 hours post-dose, and plasma Epoladerm remained at 24-hour post-dose for all animals. This data should strengthen the Company’s IND filing in advance of the anticipated start of first-in-human clinical trials. Recent Insider Transactions • Nov 27
