Important milestone for Biotest: Biologics License Application for Fibrinogen submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Biotest AG announced that the Biologics License Application (BLA) for Biotest’s Fibrinogen has been submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration. Fibrinogen is the second product developed and manufactured by Biotest in Dreieich, Germany, for which a BLA has been submitted to the FDA. The new application covers both supplementation in patients with acquired fibrinogen deficiency and treatment and prophylaxis of acute bleeding episodes in all patients with congenital fibrinogen deficiency. The application is now under evaluation by the FDA, with a decision anticipated by the end of 2025. This submission follows Biotest’s earlier application for marketing authorization in selected European markets filed in October 2024. In many regions of the world, the use of cryoprecipitate or fresh frozen plasma as a fibrinogen substitute is the standard of care for the management of major surgical bleeding. However, these treatments contain not only fibrinogen, but also additional proteins and components that may exhibit undesired effects for the patient. In addition, they are not subject to the same rigorous pathogen safety protocols as Fibrinogen. Fibrinogen also offers the significant advantages of being readily available and allowing for faster administration, ensuring timely and targeted treatment. Reported Earnings • Nov 17

Biotest Receives FDA Approval for Innovative Yimmugo Immunoglobulin to Treat Primary Immunodeficiencies Grifols announced that Biotest, a Grifols Group company, has received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Yimmugo®, an innovative intravenous immunoglobulin (Ig) therapeutic, to treat primary immunodeficiencies (PID). Yimmugo, developed by Biotest, adds to Grifols’ strong franchise of industry-leading intravenous and subcutaneous Ig treatments at a time of growing demand for plasma-derived medicines to treat immunodeficiencies, in which a part of the body’s immune system is missing or does not function properly, and other medical conditions. The first U.S.-approved medicine in Biotest’s portfolio, Yimmugo is produced using a state-of-the-art process at Biotest’s new FDA-certified “Next Level” production facility in Dreieich, Germany, which is already approved for production and marketing in Europe. The launch of Yimmugo in the U.S. in the second part of 2024 follows its successful introduction in Europe at the end of 2022 and is poised to add to Grifols' future revenue growth and profitability. Yimmugo is the first of a threesome of Biotest plasma proteins on the horizon destined for markets including the U.S. The other two, both in late-stage development, are a fibrinogen concentrate (FC) to treat acquired fibrinogen deficiency – it would be the first FC approved for this indication in the U.S. – and trimodulin, a polyvalent Ig to treat community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP). The strategic acquisition of Biotest and the integration of its specialized resources has significantly accelerated Grifols innovation, deepened its product pipeline and furthered its industry leadership. Yimmugo is a newly developed polyvalent immunoglobulin G preparation from human blood plasma for intravenous administration (IVIg). The sugar-free ready-to-use solution is approved in the US for substitution therapy in primary antibody deficiency syndromes. Yimmugo is the first approved product from the new Biotest Next Level production facility. The modern production process stands for the highest product quality and an extremely responsible use of resources. Important Safety Information: Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) products, including YIMMUGO. Renal dysfunction, acute renal failure, osmotic nephrosis, and death may occur with the administration of IGIV products in predisposed patients. Renal dysfunction and acute renal failure occur more commonly in patients receiving IGIV products containing sucrose. YIMMUGO does not contain sucrose. For patients at risk of thrombosis, renal dysfunction or renal failure, administer YIMMUGO at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity. Reported Earnings • May 07

Biotest Treats First Patient with Severe Community- Acquired Pneumonia in Phase III Trial with Trimodulin Biotest announced that the first patient with sCAP has been treated in the phase III ESsCAPE trial in an intensive care unit. This multinational phase III clinical trial is expected to enrol approximately 590 adult patients with severe Community Acquired Pneumonia (sCAP). The ESsCAPE trial will be conducted in up to 20 countries worldwide and patients will receive either trimodulin or placebo as add-on therapy to standard of care. Severe CAP is a life-threatening condition. Patients must be admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) and often receive oxygen through invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). These patients often develop additional critical illnesses such as sepsis, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction or failure. Despite existing treatment options, mortality in these patients remains high. The clinical concept of this prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial, was developed based on the promising results of the previous phase II clinical trial (CIGMA) in 160 sCAP patients requiring IMV. In the CIGMA trial a subgroup of patients with evidence of severe inflammation showed an encouraging reduction in the mortality rate when treated with trimodulin. Biotest's development product trimodulin is a globally unique, innovative polyvalent IgM, IgA, IgG antibody composition, purified from human plasma. In addition to clinical development for sCAP, trimodulin is also currently in development for the treatment of COVID-19. Biotest's development products trimodulin is an innovative polyvalent antibody composition, purified from human Plasma. In comparison to standard IgG preparations (IVIG), trimodulin contains relevant amounts of IgM and IgA in addition to IgG. Trimodulin is currently in clinical development for the treatment of patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP) and for patients with moderate or severe COVID-19. Research so far has shown that trimodulin could intervene with a number of mechanisms involved in pathological processes that would otherwise lead to respiratory failure, sepsis, multi-organ failure and finally to death of the patient. Due to the large variety of polyvalent antibodies present in trimodulin, the impaired immune system is supported in various ways. The antibodies bind to various types of pathogens including viruses and bacteria as well as their toxins and support their clearance by the immune system. Particularly the IgM component in trimodulin can reduce dysregulated immune responses, preventing the immune system to attack host tissues, in this case, the lung. In this way, trimodulin may prevent progression of disease, including the need for invasive mechanical ventilation and other intensive care procedures, and finally death. Severe community acquired pneumonia (sCAP) is usually defined as pneumonia acquired outside the hospital that requires intensive medical care. mortality of sCAP patients admitted to the intensive care unit is high and has not improved much in recent years.
