Celadon Pharmaceutical's Board Propose to Delist the Company's Ordinary Shares from AIM On 19 March 2025, James Short, Chief Executive Officer and 39.5% shareholder of Celadon Pharmaceuticals Plc, informed the Board of an intention to propose resolutions at the next general meeting of Celadon to remove the 4 non-executive directors and Chairman of the Company as directors. The action of Mr. Short was motivated by a desire for the Board to propose a de-listing of the Company from AIM, as Mr. Short believes it will help the Group to significantly reduce its operational costs and also enable the Company to more easily access capital, and on more attractive terms, as an unlisted company. The Board up to 19 March 2025 had not been supportive of the de-listing proposal. Following the Board changes, the Company will proceed with proposing the cancellation of trading of the Company's ordinary shares of £0.01 each ("Ordinary Shares") on AIM (the "Cancellation") via a general meeting. In the event that the Cancellation is approved by shareholders, the Company will make arrangements for a Matched Bargain Facility to assist Shareholders to trade in the Ordinary Shares. The Matched Bargain Facility is anticipated to be provided by J P Jenkins. A circular with further details will be sent to shareholders in due course. Mr. Anton intends to review his position as Chairman of the Company following the result of the Cancellation general meeting. In the event that the Cancellation is approved, Mr. Anton anticipates he will resign from the board. New Risk • Mar 24
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: UK£6.88m (US$8.90m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (35% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 31% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£130k revenue, or US$168k). Market cap is less than US$10m (UK£6.88m market cap, or US$8.90m).

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 British stocks, typically moving 15% 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 (-UK£6.3m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 46% per year over the past 5 years.

New minor risk - Financial data availability The company's latest financial reports are more than 6 months old. Last reported fiscal period ended June 2023. This is considered a minor risk.

Celadon Pharmaceuticals plc Announces the Results of an Early Economic Analysis of the Data Collected as Part of the Feasibility Study for Its Fully Approved Chronic Pain Clinical Trial Celadon Pharmaceuticals Plc announced the results of an early economic analysis of the data collected as part of the feasibility study for its fully approved chronic pain clinical trial. The analysis was undertaken by York Health Economic Consulting which provides consultancy and research services in health economics. The findings of YHEC's analysis are as follows: Patients on the feasibility study recorded an almost 50% (49.6%) reduction in pain scores in the first month of using cannabis-based medicines, with this reduction in pain being sustained throughout the three-month study. Patients saw a significant improvement in their mean quality of sleep scores of 1.6 points (p=0.01) and a reduction in the use of opioids and associated medicines. When assessed using the economic framework recommended by NICE, adding cannabis-based medicines to the Standard of Care was found to deliver a cost-effective solution and, depending on the price point, a cost saving to the National Health Service and Patients' quality-adjusted life years also increased. New Risk • Dec 18
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.1% 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: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 69% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£21k revenue, or US$27k).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 72% 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 (-UK£7.2m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 72% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£21k revenue, or US$26k). Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (UK£74.0m market cap, or US$90.4m).

Celadon Pharmaceuticals Plc Receives Approval to Roll-Out Chronic Pain Clinical Trial Celadon Pharmaceuticals Plc has received approval from the National Health Service ("NHS") Research Ethics Committee to roll-out its non-cancer chronic pain clinical trial for up to 5,000 patients (the "Trial"). The Company previously held conditional approval from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") for the Trial, however before formally commencing the Trial, the NHS's Ethics Committee requested an initial Feasibility Study to be conducted over a three-month period. The results of the Feasibility Study were submitted for review on 30 December 2022 (as announced by the Company) and indicatedpositive outcomes for quality of life, pain and sleep, as well as the reduction of opioid usage. As an approved Trial, it is believed to be the only one of its kind in the UK, and is designed tocreate adata set that will support doctors' prescriptions of cannabis-based medicines, and in time enable potential reimbursement by the NHS and insurance companies. It also enables General Practitioners to prescribe the medicine to patientsin addition to specialist doctors, and organizations such as charities can advertise recruitment for the Trial. The Company believes this to be a major advance in enabling much wider access for patients, ultimately leading to the opening up of the UK market for cannabis-based medicines. The Company is working with its partners to finalise the plan for the optimal and timely roll-out of the Trial. Announcement • Jun 06
