New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 44% 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 Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$9.2m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (24% average weekly change). Negative equity (-CA$55m). Earnings have declined by 44% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$10.9m market cap, or US$7.89m). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (17% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Jun 16

Valeo Pharma Announces Filing of New Drug Submission-Covid 19 with Health Canada for Sabizabulin for the Treatment of Hospitalized Covid-19 Patients Valeo Pharma Inc. announced that Health Canada has accepted for review Veru's New Drug Submission ("NDS-CV") for sabizabulin for COVID-19. Sabizabulin is a novel dual antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent being developed for the treatment of hospitalized moderate to severe COVID-19 adult patients at high risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death. The Phase 3 COVID-19 clinical trial of sabizabulin was a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial conducted in 204 hospitalized COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 (= WHO 4-supplemental oxygen) at high risk for ARDS and death. The primary endpoint was the proportion of deaths by Day 60. Patients in both treatment groups were allowed to receive standard of care treatment, including remdesivir, dexamethasone, anti-IL6 receptor antibodies and JAK inhibitors. Based on a planned interim analysis of the first 150 patients randomized, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee unanimously recommended to halt the study early for clear clinical efficacy and no safety concerns were identified. Treatment with sabizabulin 9 mg once daily, an oral, first-in-class, new chemical entity, microtubule disruptor that has dual anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant 55.2% relative reduction in deaths compared to placebo. The results of the interim analysis were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Evidence.

Valeo Pharma Inc. Announces Commercial Launch of Enerzair Breezhaler and Atectura Breezhaler Valeo Pharma Inc. announced that commercialization of Enerzair Breezhaler and Atectura Breezhaler has commenced following product shipments across Canada and the initial deployment of its national respiratory sales force. At present, almost 4 million Canadians are living with asthma1, a serious health issue affecting all age groups. Patients with severe asthma live in fear of potential exacerbations which remain highly prevalent even with today's most advanced therapies. Asthma related exacerbations are concerning because of their associated mortality burden and also because of the increased risk of side effects from the use of systemic corticosteroids. Furthermore, there is growing evidence highlighting the lack of symptom control currently achieved in asthma. 39% of patients remain uncontrolled, despite available dual LABA/ICS medications, primarily due to low adherence, treatment misuse and poor inhaler technique. There is an urgent need to add effective maintenance treatment options to more efficiently address symptoms as well as asthma related long-term complications and mortality. Aankondiging • May 27
