New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 56% 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 (30% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 1.9% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (56% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of German stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility 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. It may also indicate 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. 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 (-kr92m free cash flow).

BrainCool AB (publ) and University of Freiburg Announces Start of Pivotal Clinical Trial (Cottis 2) for Combined Target Temperature Management and Thrombectomy After Ischemic Stroke BrainCool AB announced the start of the pivotal (phase 3) clinical trial COTTIS 2 after approval from the German pharmaceutical agency ("The BfArM"). COTTIS 2 is an EU funded multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial of a total of 400 patients led by the University of Freiburg, Germany. The objective of the COTTIS 2 study is planned to evaluate the efficiency of combining cooling treatment of patients undergoing thrombectomy. Two interim analyses are planned after 100 and 200 patients. The study follows the COTTIS 1 study (Ref. 1) which proved that this novel cooling treatment was safe and feasible, and associated with very strong data on survival with very good functional outcomes. Treating stroke remains one of the grand challenges of medicine. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of neurological disability, greater than all dementias combined, including Alzheimer's. BrainCool's ultra early cooling solution is by far the most promising solution for protecting the brain after a stroke. Securing national approval from BfArM in Germany to commence COTTIS 2 as a non-CE trial, based on MDR, marks an important milestone in journey to make this treatment accessible to patients in the near future. COTTIS aims to enhance patient outcomes by minimizing the occurrence and severity of brain damage associated with strokes. In COTTIS-1, 68% of patients treated with thrombectomy in combination with hypothermia achieved a favorable score of 0-2 on the mRS scale within 3 months. Comparatively, retrospective studies on only thrombectomy-treated patients at the University Hospital of Freiburg revealed a 35% rate of mRS 0-2 after 3 months when patients arrived directly at the hospital for the procedure, and 30% for those transferred from another hospital. The results suggest a remarkable achievement, with a doubling in the number of patients showing good neurological function compared to typical survivors. Thrombectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, involves the removal of blood clots from arteries, significantly improving outcomes for stroke patients. Thrombectomy stands as one of the most efficacious treatments in medicine, with a potential to prevent disability in one patient with stroke for every 2.3 patients treated. However, the majority of the patients undergoing thrombectomy still experience major disabilities. The study participants are randomized into two groups, with 200 patients in each group. The intervention group will receive cooling treatment with BrainCool's products combined with thrombectomy and will be compared with a control group receiving the current standard treatment (thrombectomy with/without thrombolysis) of today. The primary endpoint and objective of the study is to measure the proportion of survivors with good neurological function (mRS 0-2), with the aim of showing a statistically significant difference corresponding to an effective size difference of 14%, in terms of survival with good neurological function (defined as mRS 0 - 2). Two interim analyzes are planned after 100 and 200 patient. The pre-specified cut-off value for ending the study earlier, requires a p-value of p<0.0025. The thrombectomy technique employed in the early phases of ischemic stroke, coupled with periinterventional procedures, offers an opportunity to apply hypothermia within the optimal time frame identified through initial animal experiments and subsequently a human clinical trial encompassning 22 patients - COTTIS 1. RhinoChill®? System facilitates the administration of hypothermia in the initial stages of ischemic stroke, preceding reperfusion, and during a specified period post-reperfusion. Consequently, it becomes feasible to impact crucial elements of the pathophysiological cascade following ischemic stroke and reperfusion. The findings from COTTIS 1 strongly indicate that two-thirds of patients survived with good neurological recovery, suggesting a positive outcome associated with this procedure.

Braincool AB (Publ) Announces New Clinical Study Evaluating Early Hypothermia Treatment After Cardiac Arrest with the Braincool System and Rhinochill System BrainCool AB (publ) announced that a clinical study with BrainCool products has been published in JCM (impact factor 3.9) by researchers at the Center for Cardiac arrest Research at Karolinska Institute (Ref 1). The study evaluated the RhinoChill®? System to initiate early cooling treatment immediately after arrival at the hospital instead of waiting until patients arrived in the intensive care unit. The research group at Karolinska Institute has shown for the first time that it is possible that RhinoChill®?, as the only method on the market, can deliver effective and continuous cooling that can be started in the emergency department and continue during transport to and in connection with X-rays and advanced heart examinations. When patients arrived in theintensive care unit, the BrainCool™? System was used for systemic cooling for 24 hours. Karolinska Institute, with support from BrainCool AB, is also running the European multicenter study PRINCESS2 to study ultra-early cooling with RhinoChill®? in patients who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital.

American Medical Association Approves New Current Procedural Terminology Code for Cryotherapy Using BrainCool's Cooral System BrainCool AB (publ) announced that the American Medical Association (AMA) formally announced the approval of a new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code for cryotherapy - using the company' s Cooral® System - in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The new code CPT 3 will be released on January 1, 2024, and become effective on July 1 2024. The new code has several positive implications for BrainCool and its product Cooral® System. It opens for reimbursement for Cooral® System from Medicare - the U. S public health care system. Reimbursement in this case does not require a U. S-based clinical trial over a period of 5 years. This implies that BrainCool can bring forward the official launch of Cooral® System on the U. S market to mid 2024 instead of 2025/26. Reimbursement will facilitate a more rapid penetration of the market and provide more clinical evidence of Cooral´s benefits to other players than Medicare in the market such as the major private insurers. The benefits include alleviating pain to patients undergoing chemotherapy and reducing cost. The medical costs for treating oral mucositis are estimated at approximately 25,000 USD per patient. BrainCool will in the long-term benefit in seeking to establish a reimbursement framework also for the private insurance sector. As previously announced, BrainCool will establish a robust U. S structure with a randomized, controlled trial with U. S patients only. The focus is on patients affected by lymphoma that are also treated with stem cell transplants. The clinical trial will encompass 80-100 patients with the first patient enrolled in the first quarter of 2024. The study is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. The new CPT code is unique as there previously was no code at all for treating oral mucositis with cryotherapy. The application process for the code was very smooth and there were no objections on the path to approval. Annonce • Sep 23

Braincool AB (Publ) Introduces Minichill in Japan BrainCool AB (publ) introduced MiniChill in Japan, the next generation RhinoChill technology. The company has committed to provide products (with limited revenue of EUR 6,000) for an animal-based clinical trial/study, focusing on selective brain cooling using the updated Rhinochill technology. The clinical trial will be initiated at Nagoya University, at the Department of Emergency and Critical Care, with Dr. Mitsuaki Nishikimi as trial leader. Funding for the trial has been made possible through support from the ZOLL Foundation. In this study, MiniChill, the new generation RhinoChill, will be used. This innovative product was developed under the COOLHEAD project, which received an EU grant from Eurostars in 2019. MiniChill represents significant progress and reduces the weight of today's product from 13 kg to only 5 kg. The improvement is a direct response to valuable feedback from the PRINCESS study, in which the ambulance service and EMS highlighted the size and weight as a limiting factor during emergency situations. BrainCool welcomed this feedback and created the next generation RhinoCill (MiniChill), now three times lighter, making it easier to adapt to different situations and easier to transport. Design and functionality have mainly been retained. Some adjustments have been made to the electronic components and the alarm, to match the appropriate medical device standards. The main objective of the Japanese study is to collect crucial data for selective brain cooling in a 'cardiac arrest model'. The process of selective brain cooling involves targeting specific brain regions to protect them from damage during a cardiac arrest. This is achieved by inducing rapid brain cooling while keeping the body warm using an endovascular catheter. The study results could be a game changer and lead to major medical advances, especially with regard to neuroprotection in the intensive care for heart disease. Annonce • Jul 27
