The INT200, the Company’s next generation LED-based illumination device, was developed as the new foundational platform for the INTERCEPT Blood System, with input and feedback from global customers to enhance daily blood center operations. The contemporary vertical configuration is designed to improve workflow and ergonomics while freeing up bench space (three INT200 illumination devices can fit in the same footprint as a single INT100). In addition to the vertical configuration, the INT200 features touch screen navigation and intuitive software, improved tray design, intelligent scanning, and custom reporting. These in-country regulatory approvals follow the CE Mark authorization received in March. In France and Switzerland, all platelet components have been treated with the INTERCEPT Blood System since 2018 and 2011, respectively. The Company expects to convert its installed base of INT100s in EMEA to INT200s over the next three years. The Company continues to plan for additional regulatory submissions, including a planned PMA submission to the FDA during 2026, as well as future innovation of the INTERCEPT platelet and plasma systems to leverage the INT200 platform.

Cerus Corporation Provides Updates on INTERCEPT Red Blood Cell Programs in the U.S. and Europe Cerus Corporation announced updates on the INTERCEPT red blood cell (RBC) programs in the U.S. and in Europe: In the U.S., Cerus has entered into a new six-year agreement with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, to further advance the development of the INTERCEPT RBC system. Valued at up to $248 million, this additional funding is intended to support a planned U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) modular premarket approval (PMA) application and potential post-approval studies, accelerate development of an improved version of the INTERCEPT RBC system, and scale up the chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) activities to enable a broad product launch, if approved. BARDA has awarded $32.1 million for the initial base period, with additional funding contingent on meeting specific contractual milestones. In March 2024, Cerus announced positive topline results for the BARDA-funded ReCePI study, a pivotal U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial demonstrating non-inferiority for INTERCEPT RBCs compared to conventional RBCs when transfused to complex cardiac surgery patients. The Company is currently enrolling patients in its ongoing, BARDA-funded RedeS clinical trial, the second pivotal U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial in patient populations requiring RBC transfusion for acute and chronic anemia. Results from both trials are expected to be part of a planned modular PMA submission to the FDA, with the planned final PMA module expected to be submitted upon the anticipated completion of the RedeS trial. The new BARDA contract will be funded in whole or in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority under Contract No. 75A50124C00046. For Cerus’ MDR application in Europe, Cerus’ Notified Body, TÜV-SÜD, reviewed the modules for clinical, non-clinical, manufacturing and quality and found them to be satisfactory. However, the Competent Authority, CBG-MEB, reviewed the active pharmaceutical ingredient module and concluded that the data included in the module were insufficient to support the proposed classification of the impurity profile of the final product, necessitating TÜV-SÜD’s closure of Cerus’ MDR application without an approval. The Company, in collaboration with TÜV-SÜD, is assessing strategies for a potential enhanced new regulatory submission and the associated timeline. Anuncio • Jul 18

Cerus Corporation Announces Positive Topline Results for the Phase 3 Clinical Trial of the INTERCEPT Blood System for Red Blood Cells in Cardiovascular Surgery Patients Cerus Corporation announced positive topline results for ReCePI, a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of pathogen reduced INTERCEPT Red Blood Cells (INTERCEPT RBCs) transfused to complex cardiac surgery patients. The trial met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating non-inferiority for INTERCEPT RBCs compared to conventional RBCs as measured by the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) following transfusion of study RBCs. AKI is a sensitive transfusion efficacy indicator of RBC tissue oxygen delivery. In transfused subjects, by modified intent to treat (mITT pre-specified primary endpoint population) the incidence of AKI was 29.3% (46/157) for INTERCEPT RBC recipients compared to 28.0% (45/161) for conventional RBC recipients, demonstrating non-inferiority of INTERCEPT RBCs compared to conventional RBCs with an upper limit of the 95% confidence interval of 10.4% compared with a non-inferiority margin of 14.0% (p = 0.001). The safety endpoint of the proportion of patients with any related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) within 28 days of last transfusion was not significantly different for INTERCEPT RBCs (2.5%) compared to conventional RBCs (0.6%) (p = 0.130). There was no clinical significance related to treatment-emergent RBC antibodies observed in five patients receiving INTERCEPT RBCs. The trial’s independent Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) evaluated these patients and was supportive of continued transfusion, having found no adverse health effects from trial transfusions. This safety endpoint is also being explored in the Company’s ongoing RedeS Phase 3 clinical trial of INTERCEPT RBCs. Cerus plans to include data from both the ReCePI and RedeS clinical trials in an integrated safety analysis as part of its planned modular premarket approval (PMA) submission. Cerus anticipates initiating a modular PMA application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second half of 2025, with the final PMA module submission planned for the second half of 2026, upon the anticipated completion of the RedeS clinical trial. Data from preclinical studies, manufacturing information, previously reported Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials in the U.S., and the successfully completed Phase 3 clinical trials in the EU (STARS and SPARC) will be included in the modular PMA submission. Cerus expects the data from the ReCePI clinical trial to be presented at upcoming medical conferences as well as to be submitted for peer reviewed publication. Major Estimate Revision • Mar 12

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.1% 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: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$9.2m net loss in 2 years).
