2 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation may contain certain forward-looking statements and forecasts based on uncertainty, since they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and which, by their nature, will have an impact on Vicore Pharma’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The terms “anticipates”, “assumes”, “believes”, “can”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “may”, “might”, “plans”, “should”, “projects”, “will”, “would” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology are used to identify forward-looking statement. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to, implementation of Vicore Pharma’s strategy and its ability to further grow, risks associated with the development and/or approval of Vicore Pharma’s products candidates, ongoing clinical trials and expected trial results, the ability to commercialize C21, technology changes and new products in Vicore Pharma’s potential market and industry, the ability to develop new products and enhance existing products, the impact of competition, changes in general economy and industry conditions and legislative, regulatory and political factors. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Vicore Pharma disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 2

13 LEAD DRUG CANDIDATE: C21 A NOVEL DISEASE MODIFIER

14 C21 FIRST IN CLASS AT2R AGONIST
C21 is a small molecule with beneficial drug profile properties First non-peptide AT2R agonist Water soluble Oral bioavailability 20-30% t ½ man: 4-6 hours Highly selective binding to AT2Rs: Ki AT1R > nM Ki AT2R = 0,4 nM C21 mode of action C21 is an agonist which specifically binds to the angiotensin II type 2receptor (AT2R) C21 stimulates the AT2R resulting in down stream signalling cascades (see slide 16) C21 induces endogenous healing and repair systems within the cell Small molecule C21 is a small molecule and therapeutically effective being developed for once daily (QD) oral application. A 48 healthy volunteers phase I study has confirmed C21’s good safety profile as well as beneficial drug properties No SAEs have been documented in the phase I study Multiple disease indications Different scientific groups at universities around the world are executing proprietary preclinical research for Vicore Pharma and as such identifying several disease indication in which C21 can be used. 14

15 C21 PHASE I DATA FINALIZED IN 2016: PROVEN SAFETY MARGIN
Successful completion of phase I dose escalating study with C21 48 healthy subjects in a randomized dose escalating control trial C21 proved to be safe and well tolerated with no SAEs Dose limiting toxicity was not reached with the highest dose of 100mg/day Doses in phase I NOAEL HED (mg) (Based on human 70 kg) 10 700 100 50 0.1 400 Response Therapeutic range Toxic dose Oral i.p. 70 C21 is safe with no SAEs and with beneficial drug profile properties 15

16 PHASE 1 SAFETY AND METABOLIC PROFILE
The study is done on 16 overweight (BMI and hip/waist ratio <0.9) men where of 8 are given C21 (100 mg, once daily in the clinic) and 8 are given placebo To evaluate safety, tolerability and biomarkers (insulin/glucose, adiponectin, blood fats) with C21 in a metabolically compromized risk group Biomarkers could be of interest for future studies within diabetes and metabolism Top-line results due in July, 2017. Last-volunteer-out 11 April 2017 IMPROVED MOLECULES New improved drug molecule patent filed 2017 In 2017 the company designed and synthesized a new set of molecules targeting the AT2-receptor using C21 as a design template The new compounds will be directed towards disease areas in the cardio-metabolic field The new patent which is pending opens up the possibility to develop the company’s AT2-receptor technology outside the orphan drug space The new patents will allow for protection until at least 2037 16

17 C21 IN IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS

18 WHY A NEW DRUG IN IPF? Huge unmet need for:
Orally available drug with minimal side-effects Ability to include the whole IPF population and stop disease progression Ability to reverse already established fibrosis Ability to improve QoL and substantially prolong life expectancy Current drugs have unsatisfactory efficacy and AEs Need for multimodal approach: Anti-fibrotic effects Anti-apoptotic effect Anti-proliferative effect Improvement of vascular remodelling/antifibrotic vascular effects Anti-inflammatory effect Anti-cytokine effect Median survival years after diagnosis Incidence rising, prevalence 15-20/ Men > women, mean age 66 at diagnosis Pathophysiology; “Abnormal wound healing”  fibrosis progressive restriction of lung capacity and oxygenation Pulmonary Hypertension Esbriet (pirfenidone) and Ofev (nintedanib) approved, annual sales around USD 700m and USD 500m* respectively, but have limited efficacy and problems with adverse effects NO CURE 18

The COMP considered that the possibility of having a product that not only treats IPF but can also reduce the PH component would be a clinically relevant advantage for the patients affected by IPF, and issued a positive opinion on the orphan designation.” Quotation from EMA orphan drug designation assessment report 23
