The portfolio consists of brands including Nicotinell, Nicabate, Habitrol and Thrive available in gum, lozenge and patch forms across over 30 markets. This divestment will allow Haleon to exit the NRT category outside of the US and will reduce complexity across the business allowing increased focus on strategic growth areas.

Haleon Announces the Launch of Eroxon®?, the First and Only Fda Cleared Otc Gel for Erectile Dysfunction, Available for U.S. Pre Order Without A Prescription Haleon announced that Eroxon is now available for pre-order in the United States through Amazon and will be available at most major retailers in October 2024. Eroxon is clinically proven to help men get an erection within 10 minutes to foster physical intimacy (individual results may vary). The treatment stimulates nerve endings in the penis to help men with ED get and maintain an erection during sex. Given existing prescription solutions may take up to an hour to work (based on labels), Eroxon addresses a significant unmet need for men experiencing ED. Clinical study results show that Eroxon is safe and effective in men with ED. While ED can be caused by underlying physical conditions, psychological challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues may also contribute to ED, especially in younger men. Eroxon aims to help men with ED enhanceacy and connection in their relationships, fostering closer and more fulfilling partnerships. How to use Eroxon: Unscrew cap. Pierce the tube seal with top of cap. Squeeze tube firmly to empty all the contents onto finger(s), which will provide the correct dose. Massage the gel onto the head of user's penis for about 15 seconds. If User are uncircumcised, gently pull user's foreskin back as far as comfortable before applying the gel. It may take a few attempts to achieve the desired effect. User can apply the gel, or user's partner can apply the gel to user's penis as part of foreplay. In a clinical study, partners applied the product for the male as part of foreplay, which resulted in better outcomes. Declared Dividend • Aug 04

Sensodyne Introduces New Triple Action Formula: 'Sensitivity Gum & Enamel' Sensodyne launched Sensodyne Sensitivity Gum & Enamel, a clinically proven, ground-breaking innovation with a specialized triple mode of action formula that provides long-lasting sensitivity relief, helps restore gum health, and strengthens enamel in two weeks. Its innovative Micro Foam technology effectively delivers the active ingredient (Stannous Fluoride) in hard-to-reach areas between teeth and along the gumline. Oral health problems are considered to be largely preventable through effective oral hygiene, yet their prevalence remains high. In Malaysia, 94% of Malaysian adults have gum problems, 71% suffer from tooth sensitivity, and nearly 46% experience yellowing of teeth, which may be due to the loss of enamel, according to a 2021 Kantar study. These findings highlight a significant consumer need for solutions addressing a range of oral health concerns in Malaysia. Sensodyne in teeth is primarily caused by gum issues and enamel erosion. Enamel is the outer most protective layer of the tooth which may weaken with time due to acids in common food and beverages, whereas gum problems stem from plaque bacteria accumulation. Sensodyne is continuing its movement of #BetterOralCareNation to raise oral health awareness across Malaysia and motivate Malaysians to prioritize their oral health for healthier gums and teeth. The campaign includes a capturing television commercial, eye-catching outdoor advertising, engaging on-ground activities, and innovative content across Sensodyne Malaysia's website, social media channels, and traditional media platforms. By collaborating with healthcare professionals, social media creators, and influencers, Sensodyne aims to deliver channel-relevant reliable information. The campaign officially launched on 1st March, with the first event taking place on 7th March at Sunway Velocity Mall in Kuala Lumpur, with free dental check-up (sensitivity, gum and enamel tests). As part of the engagement activities, the popular #BetterOralCareNation Anthem is brought back on social media to inspire Malaysians to improve their oral health awareness and practices. Sensodyne Sensitivity Gum& Enamel toothpaste can be found in pharmacies, dental clinics, minimarkets, markets, and hypermarkets across Malaysia. Upcoming Dividend • Mar 07
