New Risk • Sep 04
New major risk - Financial position The company has less than a year of cash runway based on its current free cash flow trend. Free cash flow: -€2.2m This is considered a major risk. With less than a year's worth of cash, the company will need to raise capital or take on debt unless its cash flows improve. This would dilute existing shareholders or increase balance sheet risk. 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 (-€2.2m free cash flow). Negative equity (-€103m). Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (€14.9m market cap, or US$16.5m). Breakeven Date Change • Mar 28

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 19% 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Negative equity (-€8.7m). Earnings have declined by 19% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€31m net loss in 2 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (22% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (€16.3m market cap, or US$17.8m). Tillkännagivande • Mar 06

New major risk - Negative shareholders equity The company has negative equity. Total equity: -€8.7m 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Negative equity (-€8.7m). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€4.8m net loss in 2 years).

Mithra Announces Presentation of Positive Data on Estetrol (E4) Native Estrogen at NAMS 2023 Mithra announced there will be four presentations on Estetrol (E4) native estrogen at the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) 2023 Annual Meeting, being held September 27-30 in Philadelphia, USA. E4 is a key active pharmaceutical ingredient in both Mithra’s marketed contraceptive Estelle® and its next generation hormone therapy product candidate for postmenopausal symptoms, Donesta®. Amanda Black MD, MPH, FRCSC, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at The University of Ottawa, will hold an independent oral presentation on the use of E4 for contraception and menopause. Dr. Black will be discussing the science and safety behind the use of E4 in the menopause at the opening symposium and will present some of the data on the effects of E4 on breast tissue. Dr. Wulf Utian, MD, PhD, DSc, Executive Director Emeritus and Honorary Founding President of NAMS, who is considered to be one of the world’s authorities on menopause and women’s health, will hold an oral presentation on the Phase 3 results of E4 in postmenopausal symptoms. The data, from two multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials with 2,550 postmenopausal women aged 40-65, show beneficial effects from 12-week treatment with E4. These include a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) – or “good” – cholesterol and a significant decrease in the ratio total of HDL cholesterol to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad” cholesterol and lipoprotein. There was also a significant decrease in fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c average blood glucose (glycemia) level. Also observed were trends for decreases in insulin and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Dr. Black and Dr. Utian will each also hold poster presentations on E4 at NAMS 2023. Mithra has previously reported positive results from Phase 3 trials, showing strong efficacy and a favorable safety profile for contraception, for Estelle®, and separately, a statistically significant reduction in vasomotor symptoms, or hot flushes and night sweats, in postmenopausal women, with Donesta®.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €79.9m (US$88.2m) This is considered a minor 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 Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-€82m). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (16% increase in shares outstanding).

Mithra Announces New Positive Preclinical Data from Csf-1R Inhibitor Program Mithra announced new positive data from preclinical studies on inhibitors of CSF-1R in development, in collaboration with BCI Pharma, for treatment of endometriosis, oncology and inflammatory disorders. Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) is a cell-surface tyrosine kinase receptor and a key regulator of macrophage biology and homeostasis. Tumor-associated macrophages are key components of the tumor microenvironment and have emerged as a promising avenue for discovery of novel cancer immunotherapies. CSF-1R kinase inhibition is therefore a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. A first study, conducted in a widely used preclinical immune-oncology model, demonstrated that the lead compound, as well as several backups, showed anti-tumor activity as a single agent. The well tolerated compounds demonstrated pronounced and consistent modulation of the tumor microenvironment, including an increase of T cells, which mediate anti-tumor immune responses, and infiltration of natural killer (NK) cells, containing enzymes that can kill tumor cells, into the tumors. Data showed a decrease in tumor-infiltrating macrophages, a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in the human immune system, and repolarization of the tumor-supportive M2 macrophage to the tumor-suppressive M1 macrophage. These results are consistent with anti-tumor activity, and tumor growth inhibition of up to 59%. The efficacy of the lead compound was further assessed as a single agent or in combination with anti PD1 therapeutic antibody in additional preclinical studies using three different cancer models: MC38 (colorectal), 4T1 (orthotopic triple negative breast) and EMT6 (triple negative breast). The significant anti-tumor activity of the lead compound used as a single agent was confirmed and was further enhanced with twice daily administration, compared to once daily. Additivity or synergy on tumor growth inhibition was observed when the lead compound was used in combination with anti-PD1 therapy; the triple negative breast cancer model showed that 50% of the animals achieved a complete tumor regression after the combination treatment. Further data will be presented in a peer-reviewed setting. The research was conducted under a partnership with BCI Pharma, first announced in November 2021. Mithra’s primary focus is on endometriosis and cancers affecting women, including orphan indications such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Under the terms of the agreement, Mithra has an option to acquire from BCI all rights, title and interest in the series of CSF-1R inhibitors, and part of the BCI rights, title and interest in and to the results of the research and related intellectual property.

Mithra Announces Completion of Recruitment in Pediatric Study of Estelle in Adolescent Patients Mithra announced that a pediatric study of Estelle®? in adolescent patients has completed recruitment. Data from the study is expected to be available in first half of 2024. Developed by Mithra, Estelle is the first and only contraceptive pill containing estetrol (E4), the onlyrogen native to human pregnancy. The objective of the pediatric study (MIT-Es001-C303, ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04792385, EudraCT: 2019-003002-27) is to evaluate the safety, compliance, and pharmacokinetics profile of Estelle (estetrol monohydrate 15 mg and drospirenone 3 mg) in 100 participants aged 12 to 17 years old, as agreed with regulatory authorities. The study is being conducted in a number of European countries (Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Latvia, Poland, Sweden). Combined Oral Contrace contraceptive such as Estelle are the most popular hormonal contraceptives1 in the adolescent population, and adolescents are more likely than adult women to use these products for health purposes other than birth control such as cycle and bleeding control2. Despite widespread use in adolescents, clinical data from this population is limited. Studies such as this one are needed in order to bring safe and effective contraceptive to those that need it most. Developed by MithRA, Estelle®? is a novel patent protected combined oral contraceptive pill containing 3 mg drospirenone (DRSP) and 15 mg estetrol (E4). E4 is a naturally produced estrogen during pregnancy, which can now be made from a plant source. In two phase 3 clinical studies conducted in 3,725 women, Estelle®? was shown to be both safe and effective and met its primary efficacy endpoint of pregnancy prevention. It also delivered excellent results on a variety of secondary endpoints that demonstrated outstanding cycle control, bleeding control, safety, and tolerability. Mithra has signed 15 licensing deals for Estelle®? with a number of leading women's health companies covering more than 100 countries in the world. Breakeven Date Change • Mar 28

The exclusivity runs for five years from FDA approval of the New Drug Application for NEXTSTELLIS. NEXTSTELLIS was approved by the FDA in April 2021 and is the first and only pill containing E4, a natural estrogen produced during pregnancy that is now made from a plant source. E4 is the first new estrogen introduced in the US in more than 50 years. A new article has been published in Contraception - an international, peer-reviewed reproductive health journal - with the results of the NEXTSTELLIS North American Phase III clinical study involving nearly 2,000 women. The publication concluded that NEXTSTELLIS is an effective oral contraceptive with a predictable bleeding pattern for most women and a low rate of adverse events. In addition to efficacy and safety, a predictable bleeding pattern is another key consideration for women and their healthcare providers. Bothersome breakthrough bleeding is a common side effect of hormonal contraception and can often lead to discontinuation of contraceptives. Unscheduled bleeding occurred in less than 2% of patients after cycle 2 (bleeding only) with less than 1 day of unscheduled bleeding or spotting on average per cycle after cycle 1.

Mithra and Searchlight Pharma Announces Nextstellis Approval in Canada Mithra and Searchlight Pharma announced that Health Canada has approved Nextstellis, the first and only combined oral contraceptive (COC) product based on the unique native estrogen estetrol (E4). Once launched, E4 will be the first new estrogen in a COC in the Canadian market in over half a century, and will be the only COC alternative to ethinyl estradiol-based COC pills in Canada. Developed by Mithra, Nextstellis is composed of 15 mg Estetrol (E4) and 3 mg drospirenone (DRSP) in a 24/4 dosing regimen. E4 is a naturally occurring native estrogen produced in the human body, with a unique mechanism of action that displays tissue selective activity. E4 shows agonist activity on the vagina, the uterus and the endometrium, the bones and the brain, and antagonistic activities in breast tissue. Neutral impact on lipids and a distinct metabolic and hemostatic profile provide further differentiation based on its unique mechanism of action. E4 is synthesized from plant-based sources and represents the first native estrogen available in any contraceptive product in Canada. Health Canada's approval of Nextstellis is based on two multinational, multicentre Phase 3 clinical studies of 3,725 women who were 16 to 50 years of age, and who had a Body Mass Index (BMI) up to 35kg/m2. Nextstellis demonstrated contraceptive efficacy across all evaluated age and BMI ranges. The studies also demonstrated good bleeding profiles, cycle control, and tolerability, and with low rates of adverse reactions. The approval in Canada is the first marketing authorization for Nextstellis in any jurisdiction, anywhere in the world. Regulatory reviews remain ongoing in the United States and European Union, with expected marketing authorizations in H1 2021. Currently, the Canadian hormonal contraceptive market is worth approximately CAD 348 million a year, with combined oral contraceptives accounting for about 66% of the market. Nextstellis will complement and deepen Searchlight Pharma's industry-leading women's health product portfolio which includes Addyi (flibanserin), a first-in-class medication in Canada for the treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in both pre and post-menopausal women up to age 60, as well as market-leading brands such as Mona Lisa IUDs for contraception, and menopausal treatments such as Divigel and Estragyn Vaginal Cream.
