FluoGuide A/S Announces U.S. Food and Drug Administration Review Milestone for FG001 FluoGuide A/S announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has informed the Company that it can proceed with the proposed clinical investigation for FG001. The IND supports the initiation of the Company's first trial supporting registration in patients with high-grade glioma (HGG). The IND submission represents a key regulatory milestone for FluoGuide and marks the transition of FG001 to late-clinical development, advancing the program toward U.S. registration. Initiation of the first U.S. trial supporting registration remains on track, with enrollment of the first patient expected in second quarter 2026. Following the FDA green light on FluoGuide's IND, the Company will continue preparations to initiate the planned U.S. Phase 2 registration trial of FG001 in high-grade glioma. The Company will provide updates as appropriate, with first patient planned to enroll in second quarter. An Investigational New Drug (IND) application is required to obtain U.S. regulatory authorization to initiate clinical trials of a new drug. FG001 is a well-advanced, clinical-stage product, and significant portions of the submitted IND package, including the preclinical section, are expected to form the basis of the future New Drug Application (NDA) required to obtain approval to market FG001 in the U.S. Across the pre-IND and IND processes, FluoGuide engaged with the FDA to review a comprehensive development package covering completed work and proposed plans for ongoing studies. Importantly, through these interactions and the subsequent IND submission, FluoGuide received FDA alignment on the design of its U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial in HGG to support registration, as well as on key elements of the subsequent Phase 3 program. This regulatory alignment provides a strong foundation for long-term development planning, and in view, de-risks the regulatory process as advance toward NDA submission and future U. S. approval of FG001. Clear regulatory path. FluoGuide anticipates that two U.S. clinical trials will be required to support U.S. regulatory approval of FG001 for HGG. Both trials are expected to enroll patients over approximately one year, with final timelines and enrollment subject to emerging data and regulatory feedback. This program establishes a clear, structured and capital-efficient path toward U.S. approval of FG001 in HGG - a devastating brain cancer with poor outcomes and limited effective treatment options.

New major risk - Negative shareholders equity The company has negative equity. Total equity: -kr.2.4m This is considered a major risk. Being in negative equity means that the company's liabilities exceed its assets, meaning it owes more to creditors than it has in owned assets. While this doesn't mean the company is about to collapse, in the long-term, this is unsustainable. The company may have issues meeting financial obligations, is at risk of becoming insolvent and may have difficulty raising capital, especially more debt, if needed. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Negative equity (-kr.2.4m). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (20% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (kr604.9m market cap, or US$63.7m). New Risk • Nov 06
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 20% 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 Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (20% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (kr678.5m market cap, or US$70.8m). Announcement • Aug 29

FluoGuide A/S Provides Strategic Update and Outlines Development Plans Towards Commercialization of FG001 FluoGuide A/S provided an update on its corporate strategy and plans for further clinical development and commercialization of its lead product FG001. FluoGuide has obtained clinical proof of concept of FG001, a fluorescent molecule targeting the cancer specific uPAR receptor, which lights up cancer cells to improve outcomes of surgery. This includes positive phase II data across three indications: aggressive brain cancer (high grade glioma), head & neck cancer, and lung cancer. FG001 has been granted U.S. Orphan Drug Designation in aggressive brain cancer (high grade glioma). Based on this strong foundation, FluoGuide plans to expand the scope of application of FG001 and advance its development toward approval in aggressive brain cancer. Photothermal therapy (PTT) using FG001 has the potential to selectively eliminate cancer cells with a notable sparing of surrounding normal tissue and represents a significant commercial opportunity. FluoGuide has decided to evaluate FG001's potential in PTT in aggressive brain cancer. FluoGuide plans to advance FG001 into the first clinical trial for registration of FG001 in fluorescence guided surgery (FGS) of aggressive brain cancer, based on feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The benefit of potentially including a treatment effect from PTT in the development of FG001 in this indication will offer considerable potential additional value, significantly reducing the combined development costs for FGS and PTT, which will more than outweigh a delay to the start of regulatory trial. FluoGuide also aims to initiate a phase II trial in head & neck cancer as it offers several valuable positionings of FG001 for patients as well as several partnering opportunities. Hence FluoGuide will explore partnering options across indications with manufacturers of imaging systems, with the aim of accelerating and expanding the commercial opportunities while retaining the maximum value for its shareholders.

FluoGuide A/S Announces FG001 Meets Primary Endpoint in Phase LLB Trial in Aggressive Brain Cancer FluoGuide A/S announced positive topline efficacy and safety results in the phase IIb trial with the lead product FG001 for guiding surgery in aggressive brain cancer (high-grade glioma). The controlled, randomized, multi-center phase llb trial (FG001-CT-001) investigated the effect of FG001 in guiding surgery of patients with aggressive brain cancer and compared FG001’s effect to 5-ALA. The patients were randomized 1:1 to FG001 or 5-ALA. Fluorescence-guided surgery using FG001 or 5-ALA were compared to white light surgery with each patient serving as its own control. The trial was not designed to show statistical difference (superiority, non-inferiority). The results are used to plan further clinical development. The topline results are: All patients receiving FG001 (12/12) or 5-ALA (12/12) had additional cancer detected by optical guidance, showing FG001 was superior to white light, FG001 was safe and well tolerated with 2 mild (grade 1) related adverse events, FG001 lit up 12/12 patients’ cancer with a tumor to background ratio (TBR) larger than 2, No statistically significant differences were observed between FG001 and 5-ALA in histopathology (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value) or gross total resection (GTR) measured on MRI, Pharmacokinetics of FG001: T1/2 was 13 hours and Cmax was 9.35 mg/L. FG001 is a fluorophore targeting uPAR, which is a cancer-specific target expressed extensively in most solid tumors. It is injected into a patient’s vein prior to surgery and lights up the cancer during surgery, helping to guide the surgeon in removing all cancer while sparing healthy tissue. The fluorophore has the same spectral specifications as indocyanine green (ICG), which is an approved compound used clinically. Accordingly, FG001 can be visualized with ICG compatible imaging systems. Announcement • Nov 07

Breakeven Date Change • Sep 06 The analyst covering FluoGuide previously expected the company to break even in 2025. New forecast suggests the company will make a profit of kr.20.0m in 2025.
New Risk • Aug 31
New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 2 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: kr.34m Forecast net loss in 2 years: kr.18m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. 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 (-kr.31m free cash flow). Revenue is less than US$1m (kr.6.7m revenue, or US$980k). Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (kr.18m net loss in 2 years). Announcement • Aug 29
Fluoguide A/S Announces Completion of Patient Enrollment and Treatment in the Phase IIb Trial with Fg001 in Patients with Aggressive Brain Cancer FluoGuide A/S announced the successful completion of patient enrollment and treatment in the phase l/lla trial with FG001 in patients with aggressive brain cancer. This means the trial is on track to read out topline results in 2-3 months from now. FG001 is a fluorophore targeting uPAR, which is a cancer specific target expressed extensively in most solid cancers. The fluorophore has the same spectral specifications as indocyanine green, which is already approved, and this means FG001 can be used on current imaging equipment without adaptation. It is administered into a patient's vein prior to surgery and lights up the cancer during surgery, helping to guide the surgeon in removing all cancer while sparing healthy tissue. The controlled, randomized, multi-center phase llb trial (FG001-CT-001) investigates the effect of FG001 in guiding surgery of patients with aggressive brain cancer and compares FG001's effect compared to 5-ALA and white light. The patients are randomized in 1:1 between FG001 and 5-ALA. FG001 and 5-AL A are compared to white light in their respective arm with the patients as their own control. The trial was based on the highly promising results from a phase l/lla trial in the same indication, where 100% of the biopsies from patients treated with FG001 illuminated cancer. With recruitment completed, the topline results of the phase IIb trial are expected in 2-3 months and will be conducted with analysis of biopsies and MRI scans. These analyses are blinded and initiated after last patient is enrolled and treated. The main aim of this phase IIb trial is to generate the required data to inform design of a phase III trial of FG001 in aggressive brain cancer, and it is not powered to demonstrate significant superiority or non-inferiority of any of FG001, white light or 5-ALA.FG001 has several technological advantages over 5-ALA, such as being based on near infrared light which gives deeper visibility (1-2 cm versus 1-2 mm) and hence an anticipated higher chance of detecting cancer which is located deeper in tissue. Patients included in the trial were diagnosed with suspected high-grade glioma where the surgeon expected to be able to make a complete removal of the tumor. The 24 patients were equally randomized between FG001 and 5- ALA. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who benefit from the imaging agent, measured by removal of more of the cancer at the end of surgery. Announcement • Jun 22
FluoGuide A/S Announces Positive Interim Results from Phase IIa Trial of FG001 in Head & Neck Cancer FluoGuide A/S announced positive interim results from the phase IIa trial of its lead product FG001 in head & neck cancer. FG001 was shown to illuminate tumors in all of the patients. FG001 was shown to light up tumors in 100% of the patients. In line with the efficacy data in brain and lung cancers, underscoring FG001's potential for broad applicability. Topline results from the trials in brain and head & neck cancers expected in second half of 2023. Data show all 12 patients in the first two cohorts, undergoing surgery for head & neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), had their tumors lit up with FG001. FG001 is a fluorophore targeting uPAR, which is a cancer specific target expressed extensively in most solid cancers. The fluorophore has the same spectral specifications as indocyanine green, which is already approved, and this means FG001 can be used on current imaging equipment without adaptation. It is administered into a patient's vein prior to surgery and lights up the cancer during surgery, helping to guide the surgeon in removing all cancer while sparing healthy tissue. The third cohort of a further 4 patients has been initiated on a low dose of FG001 to enable investigation of a broad dose range, which will inform dose selection for a future phase IIb trial. It is therefore expected that some cancers in the third cohort of patients will not light up. FluoGuide expects enrollment of the last patient in its phase IIb trial of FG001 in aggressive brain cancer (high grade glioma) during the summer of 2023 and the topline result approximately 2 months after that. The topline result from the phase IIa trial the phase IIa trial of FG001 in Head & neck cancer is expected in second half 2023. Announcement • Jun 08
Fluoguide A/S Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase Iia Trial of Fg001 in Lung Cancer FluoGuide A/S announced positive topline results from a phase IIa trial of its lead product FG001 in lung cancer. FG001 was shown to illuminate the majority of the patients' lung tumors and was well tolerated in all patients. These results support further clinical development in this indication. FG001 was shown to light up lung cancer in 73% of the patients and was safe and well tolerated. This marks the third cancer indication for which FG001 shows efficacy, underscoring its potential for broad applicability. Further data in brain and head & neck cancers are expected in H2-2023. FG001 is a fluorophore targeting uPAR, which is a cancer specific target expressed extensively in most solid types of cancers. The fluorophore has the same spectral specifications as indocyanine green, which is already approved, and this means FG001 can be used on current imaging equipment without adaptation. It is injected into a patient's vein prior to surgery and lights up the cancer during surgery, helping to guide the surgeon in removing all cancer while sparing healthy tissue. A total of 15 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), undergoing lung surgery (lobectomy), completed the trial, with a gender distribution of 9 females and 6 males a weight range of 50-92 kg and age range of 50-83 years. FG001 was shown to be safe and well tolerated in all patients. The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile for FG001 was determined in lung cancer patients and the half-life (t1/2) was found to be comparable with that of aggressive brain cancer (high grade glioma). Globally, 2.2 million individuals are diagnosed with lung cancers annually and 1.8 million patients die every year with lung cancer. It is the second most commonly diagnosed type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in 2020. lung cancer is typically diagnosed when the cancer already has spread being an important reason for its high mortality.

FluoGuide A/S Releases Positive Interim Result of FG001 in Head and Neck Cancer FluoGuide A/S announced the positive interim result of FG001 in head and neck cancer that FG001 lights up in 4 out of 4 patients following the interim evaluation of the first four patients dosed in the ongoing explorative phase II a trial in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) undergoing surgery. Detection of light was made from the tissue identified macroscopically as cancer by the surgeon. At the end of the trial, the pathologists will histologically examine the tissue that lights up to determine if the tissue samples contain cancer or normal tissue. Although this is an encouraging interim result, it is important to state that a final conclusion regarding the effect of FG001 cannot be reached until after the histology examinations have been completed at the end of the trial. The optimal dose in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) undergoing surgery has not yet been established. FluoGuide has selected head and neck cancer, the 6th most common cancer, due to a high unmet need and evidence of uPAR overexpression. The ongoing trial is conducted in cooperation with the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery & Audiology at the Copenhagen University Hospital - Rigshospitalet, in Denmark. The phase IIa trial is designed to obtain proof-of-concept in head and neck cancer for uPAR platform technology used to guide surgical removal of cancer. The plan is to enrol up to 16 patients. The primary endpoint is sensitivity for detection of cancer defined as the relative number of patients, where FG001 lights up the cancer confirmed by histopathology. FluoGuide expects top line results to be available in H1 2023. FluoGuide has selected head and neck cancer due to the high prevalence, a high unmet need, and strong evidence of uPAR being overexpressed in these cancers. Announcement • Dec 23

FluoGuide A/S Acquires Rights to Photothermal Therapy Using FG001 FluoGuide A/S announced that the Company has acquired worldwide exclusive rights to use FG001 for photothermal therapy in combination with dedicated light source. Photothermal therapy is an extension of photodynamic therapy, in which a photosensitizer is excited with light of a specific wave length. This light excitation brings a molecule, such as FG001, to an excitation state where it releases energy in the form of heat. Under optimal conditions, the generated heat will kill cancer cells while sparing normal tissue. Photothermal therapy with FG001 has already demonstrated a clear effect in preclinical models and shown to be safe to normal tissue in these models. The combination of FG001 and its binding to uPAR expressing cancer cells potentially gives a very broad use of FG001 for photothermal therapy, including some of the most prevalent cancer types. Near Infered Light (NIR) is used to excite FG001, which has the advantage over visible light of penetrating deeper into the tissue and therefore has potential to precisely destroy cancer tissue 1-2 cm into the tissue while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. In comparison will visible light only penetrates approximately 1-2 mm into the tissue. With the obtained exclusive rights, FluoGuide can now not only guide surgery through FG001, but potentially also help the surgeon to destroy hidden cancer cells, or superficial cancer that cannot be removed, e.g. because it has invaded a vital stucture in, for instance, the brain. The exclusive rights has been aquired from Copenhagen University Hospital. The underlying patent application to use FG001 for photothermal therapy was filed by Rigshospitalet and will be published during 2021. It will, if granted, not expire until 2039. The acquisition of the exclusive rights will not affect FluoGuide's cost budget for 2021, during which the photothermal capabilities will be further evaluated in pre-clinical studies and an optimal development path planned. Future payments to Rigshospitalet will be through royalties as a low single digit percentage of sales by FluoGuide. There will be no cash payments in 2021 by FluoGuide to Rigshospitalet, but FluoGuide will take over the patent costs. Announcement • Feb 18
Dose Escalation Committee Approves FluoGuide A/S's Initiation of the Fourth Dose Level in the Ongoing Clinical Phase I/II Trial Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Fg001 in Patients with High Grade Glioma Undergoing Neurosurgery FluoGuide A/S announced that the dose escalation committee have approved initiation of the fourth dose level in the ongoing clinical phase I/II trial evaluating safety and efficacy of FG001 in patients with high grade glioma undergoing neurosurgery. Evaluation of the results from the third dose level of FG001, including data from three patients, have been finalized and reported to the dose escalation committee. The dose escalation committee has given their approval to proceed and enroll patients at the fourth dose level. The results from the third dose level are in line with data from the first six patients at the two first dose levels, in respect to safety and tolerability. Relevant light was detected in two out of three patients at the third dose level. It is important to underline that the trial is still at an early stage, and that the first phase of the trial (up to 24 patients) must be completed and analyzed before any firm conclusions on tolerability and safety profile can be made. It is also important to state that it is not yet possible to establish the efficacy of FG001 on the basis of findings from these first three dose levels although encouraging to see increased signal intensity with increased dose. Further analysis is needed to confirm that the tissue that lights up is actually cancer and tissue that does not light up is free of cancer. The recruitment of patients over the next months may be slowed down due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, as of now FluoGuide still expects to adhere to the following overall timeline previously communicated: (i) Middle of 2021: Result of first phase (safety and selection of optimal dose), subject to number of cohorts; and (ii) Second half of 2021: Efficacy result from the second phase, including estimation of the potential magnitude of benefit of FG001 in guiding surgery of patients with high grade glioma.

Fluoguide A/S Announces Publication of Two Patent Applications Covering the Company's uPAR Technology Platform for Improving Surgery FluoGuide A/S announced that two new patent applications, covering the use of uPAR in enhancing surgical precision by illuminating cancer cells, have been published. FluoGuide hereby updates on the status of its published patents and patent applications. Since prior to the IPO, FluoGuide holds the patent family, relating to the Company's lead compound FG001. FG001 is designed to allow surgeons to clearly delineate cancer from normal tissue during surgery through a novel uPAR-targeted luminescent technology and has demonstrated to be well tolerated and ability to light up cancer in an ongoing phase I/II clinical trial on guiding surgery of high grade glioma. Patents have been issued in Europe, the US, and Australia and expire in 2034. On July 16 2019, FluoGuide submitted applications on two additional patent families; (PCT/EP2020/069991 and PCT/EP2020/070014), which will be covering relevant selected regions/countries worldwide if granted. The first patent family application (PCT/EP2020/069991), relates to FluoGuide's second compound, FG002, and covers an uPAR-targeting peptide conjugate with an optimal pharmacokinetic profile intended for administration in a human body. Further, there is provided an uPAR-targeting peptide conjugate and a composition comprising the uPAR-targeting peptide conjugate for use in optical imaging and for diagnosis and/or treatment of a disease. The patent family is licensed from Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet) and University of Copenhagen. The second patent family application (PCT/EP2020/070014), covers a receptor-targeting conjugate with a high receptor binding affinity in combination with an optimal pharmacokinetic profile intended for administration in a human body. The application relates to more uPAR targeted products use to guide surgery. This patent family is owned by FluoGuide. According to standard patent procedure, applications are made public 18 months after submission. There are no guantees that a patent application will lead to grant of a patent.

FluoGuide A/S Gets Green Light to Proceed to Second Dose Level with FG001 in the Ongoing Clinical Phase I/II Trial in Patients with High Grade Glioma FluoGuide A/S announced that the dose escalation committee has approved that administration of the second dose level can now be initiated in the ongoing trial evaluating safety and effcicacy of FG001 in patients with high grade glioma undergoing neurosurgery. Evaluation of the results from the first dose level of FG001, including data from three patients, has been finalized and reported to the dose escalation committee. The dose escalation committee has earlier been given green light to proceed and enroll the first patient on the second dose level. The first dose was chosen substantially below the expected optimal dose as a safety precaution when dosing a new product to humans for the first time. It is nevertheless encouraging that no safety issues were identified, which is in line with the result of the pre-clinical program. It is important to underline that the first phase of the trial (up to 24 patients) must be completed and analyzed before any conclusions on tolerability and safety profile can be drawn. Despite the very low dose tested in this first dose group of patients, light was detected in two out of the three patients. Although this is encouraging, it is important to state that it is not yet possible to conclude anything on the effect of FG001 on the basis of these findings. Additional results from patients dosed with higher levels of FG001 are needed to evaluate the robustness and further analysis is thereafter needed to confirm that the tissue that lights up is actually cancer and tissue that does not light up is free of cancer, which is determined by the patologist at the end of the first phase of the trial. The clinical phase I/II trial initiation has taken slightly longer than anticipated. However, the set-up is now fully implemented and the following dose groups are expected to be completed faster assuming no impact from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic takes place. The following timeline is anticipated by FluoGuide: (i) Middle of 2021: Result of first phase (safety and selection of optimal dose); and (ii) Second half of 2021: Efficacy result from the second phase, including estimation of the potential magnitude of benefit of FG001 in guiding surgery of patients with high grade glioma.
