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: €170m Forecast net loss in 2 years: €560k 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Major Estimate Revision • Nov 15

Formycon AG Completes Patient Enrollment for the Clinical Development of Its Keytruda®? Biosimilar Candidate FYB206 Formycon AG announced that the patient enrollment for the clinical PK study Dahlia has been successfully completed with a total of 96 participants (Last Patient-In). The Dahlia study, which was launched in June 2024 in selected Southeastern and Eastern European study centers, compares the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of FYB206 with the immuno-oncology blockbuster drug Keytruda®?2. At the end of 2024, Formycon submitted a streamlined clinical strategy to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the intention to demonstrate the therapeutic comparability of FYB206 With the reference drug Keytruda®? based on comprehensive analytical data and data from the PK study (Dahlia). Following a positive response from the FDA, the company decided in February 2025 to discontinue recruitment for the already-started Phase III trial. This decision accelerates the development of the biosimilar and at the same time significantly reduces the related investments over the coming years. The treatment of patients already enrolled in the Phase III trial has subsequently been continued with the locally available Keytruda®? outside the trial. With streamlined clinical development program for FYB206, have secured a leading role among the developers of a pembrolizumab biosimilar. This is further underlined by the efficient and reliable execution of the Dahlia PK study. The first patients in the Dahlia trial have already completed all 17 treatment cycles. therefore currently expect to receive the results of the study endpoint in the first quarter of 2026.

Formycon AG Announces Decision on Phase III Trial with FYB206 and Provides Update on Potential Need to Adjust the Valuation of FYB202 and FYB201 Formycon AG has decided to prematurely terminate the Phase III trial (‘Lotus’) for its biosimilar candidate Fiscal Year B206. Based on an intensive scientific dialogue with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Executive Board, after careful consideration, has concluded that the continuation of the study is no longer necessary for the development and approval of Fiscal Year B206 in the U.S. The therapeutic comparability of Fiscal Year B206 with the reference drug Keytruda3 can be sufficiently demonstrated using data from the ongoing parallel study in the melanoma indication (‘Dahlia’), combined with a comprehensive analytical program. According to preliminary estimates, discontinuing the Phase III trial could lead to investment savings in the high double-digit million range over the next few years, positively impacting the Company’s cash flow statement and liquidity. In coordination with commercialization partner Fresenius Kabi AG, as part of the imminent market launch of Fiscal Year B202/Otulfi in the U.S., Formycon anticipates that the valuation model and balance sheet measurement for Fiscal Year B202 will need to be reviewed and adjusted due to an emerging, significantly higher-than-expected price discount for biosimilars. Based on preliminary calculations, Formycon currently expects a non-cash impairment requirement in the high double-digit to low triple-digit million range. Due to the increasing price discounts among ranibizumab providers in the U.S., Bioeq AG, the exclusive license holder of Fiscal Year B201/CIMERLI, is currently in discussions with its commercialization partner Sandoz AG regarding the future commercialization strategy for Fiscal Year B201/CIMERLI in the U.S. Based on the status of these discussions, Formycon currently expects that the commercialization of Fiscal Year B201/CIMERLI will likely be temporarily paused. This would result in an extraordinary adjustment to the valuation model and the balance sheet measurement for Fiscal Year B201, as well as the stake in Bioeq AG, amounting to a high single-digit to low double-digit non-cash million figure for the 2024 financial year. In this context, Bioeq AG is exploring alternative commercialization strategies for the U.S. Formycon will provide updates on further developments in due course. Duyuru • Jan 21

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 10% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Price Target Changed • Jan 31

Formycon AG Publishes Details of A Previously Undisclosed Pipeline Project – Fyb206 Is A Biosimilar Candidate for Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) Formycon AG announced details of a previously undisclosed project in its development pipeline. FYB206 is a biosimilar candidate for Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) and the development is at an advanced preclinical stage. In addition to biosimilars in the field of ophthalmology (FYB201/FYB203), immunology (FYB202) and two further yet unpublished biosimilar candidates (FYB208/FYB209), Formycon is expanding its therapeutic range with FYB206 to the rapidly growing field of immuno-oncology. The active ingredient pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that belongs to the group of immune checkpoint inhibitors and is established in the treatment of a variety of tumors. Pembrolizumab binds to the PD-1 receptor and specifically blocks the interaction between PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1. This helps the immune system activate the body's own cellular anti-tumor immune response and kill e.g. melanoma cells. Since 2015, Keytruda® has been established for the treatment of advanced melanoma, lung and other types of carcinoma. In 2021, the reference market for Keytruda® was reported at a size of more than USD 17 billion worldwide.[i] Expert analyses predict that Keytruda® will become the world's top-selling drug in 2023, with annual revenue potential expected to be well over USD 20 billion as early as 2025. The development and commercialization rights for FYB206 are fully owned by Formycon. Important IP has already been created and patent applications have been filed, with data from the development of alternative formulations. Following convincing results from the extensive analytical protein characterization as well as significant progress in the development of the manufacturing process, a comprehensive data package is currently being compiled in order to closely align further program steps in Scientific Advice Meetings with the EMA and FDA in the second half of the year. Adjusting the manufacturing process to commercial scale is planned for the end of 2022. For this purpose, Formycon has already secured GMP manufacturing capacities at a renowned contract manufacturer. Price Target Changed • Sep 19

Formycon AG, Polpharma Biologics Group BV and Bioeq AG Announce European Commission Approval for FYB201/Ranivisio1 (Ranivisio - Ranibizumab), a Biosimilar to Lucentis2 (News with Additional Features) Formycon AG (“Formycon”), Polpharma Biologics Group BV (“Polpharma Biologics”) and Bioeq AG (“Bioeq”) jointly announce that the European Commission (“EC”) has granted marketing authorization (“MA”) for Ranivisio (Ranivisio - Ranibizumab), a biosimilar to Lucentis (ranibizumab-injection), for the treatment for several serious retinal diseases in the European Union. EC approval follows a positive opinion issued in June 2022 by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is applicable to all 27 European Union member states plus Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Ranivisio is indicated for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), the treatment of visual impairment due to diabetic macular oedema (DME) or choroidal neovascularization (CNV), the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), as well as the treatment of visual impairment due to macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (branch RVO or central RVO). FYB201/Ranivisio was developed by Bioeq, a Joint Venture between Formycon and Polpharma Biologics. Mid 2021, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Teva”) entered into a strategic partnership for the exclusive commercialization of FYB201 in Europe and selected other countries. Commercial launches across Europe are planned over the coming year, and the treatment is already available in the UK under the tradename Ongavia3, following its approval by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in May 2022. The EU-approval is based on the totality of evidence including analytical, nonclinical, clinical and manufacturing data. In a randomized, double-masked, parallel group, multicenter phase III study (COLUMBUS-AMD) it was shown that Ranivisio is highly similar to the reference product Lucentis in terms of comparable efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity in patients with age-related neovascular (wet) macular degeneration. AMD is caused by excessive growth of blood vessels in the retina. Ranibizumab inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is responsible for the excessive formation of these blood vessels in the retina. In developed countries AMD is the most common cause of severe visual impairment or blindness and it is estimated that up to 77 million Europeans will be affected by 2050. The consequences of AMD carry a significant burden for healthcare systems and societies as the increasing incidence of the condition is expected to absorb considerable amounts of healthcare resources and funds across the EU.
