European Medicines Agency Grants Approval for Orchid Pharma's 'Exblifep' Orchid Pharma has achieved a significant breakthrough with its antibiotic invention, 'Exblifeb,' which incorporates Enmetazobactam, the first completely invented-in-India Beta Lactamase Inhibitor. This pioneering drug recently received the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) recommendation for marketing authorization, marking the first instance of an Indian-invented drug reaching this stage of clinical development. Designed to address the global challenge of An -Microbial Resistance (AMR), 'Exblifeb' demonstrates remarkable efficacy in treating complicated Urinary Tract Infections (cUTI), pneumonia, and bacteremia caused by Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamase producing pathogens. During clinical trials, 'Exblifeb' exhibited superior performance compared to the current go-to drug, Piperacillin + Tazobactam. It is positioned as a potent, cost-effective, and Carbapenem-sparing therapy, offering a viable solution in the fight against rising AMR. This milestone not only positions 'Exblifeb' as a front-runner in combating AMR but also underscores the urgent need for effective solutions. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, infections caused by an microbial-resistant bacteria led to the direct death of 1.27 million people in 2019. 'Exblifeb,' with its unique Indian origin and superior clinical performance, has the potential to become a standard of care worldwide in addressing this global health crisis. Enmetazobactam was invented in India by Orchid and then out-licensed to Allecra Therapeutics for further development. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jan 30

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 24% 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 Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (0.9x net interest cover). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (24% increase in shares outstanding). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jun 28
