CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT

Liege, Belgium, 16 April 2024 – 17:45 CEST – Mithra (Euronext Brussels: MITRA), a company dedicated to women's health is proud to announce the acceptance of an abstract presenting the design and findings of a pediatric study involving ESTELLE®, Mithra's first product based on estetrol (E4), at two renowned congresses.
ESTELLE®, Mithra's first E4-based product is commercialized as a combined oral contraceptive in the US and Canada under the brand name NEXTSTELLIS® and in Europe by Gedeon Richter as DROVELIS®.
The abstract, showcasing the pediatric study conducted in adolescents, has been accepted for oral presentation at both the ESC Bilbao (1-4 May 2024) and EURAPAG Thessaloniki (5-8 June 2024) congresses. The presenting authors are esteemed experts in the field: Prof. Kristina Gemzell-Danielsson will present at ESC Bilbao, while Prof. Dan Apter will present at EURAPAG Thessaloniki.
Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) such as ESTELLE® are widely used among adolescents for contraception1 , as well as cycle and bleeding control. However, despite their popularity2 , clinical data specific to this age group remains limited.
To address this gap, Mithra undertook this study under a Pediatric Investigation Plan (PIP) agreed with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to conduct a phase 3, open-label, singlearm study across 23 centers in Europe (MIT-Es001-C303, ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04792385, EudraCT: 2019-003002-27). The study aimed to assess the safety and tolerability of ESTELLE® in healthy post-menarchal females aged 12 to 17 years over six cycles.
Out of 145 initially screened participants, 112 were enrolled, with 89 completing the study. The last subject's last visit was concluded in November 2023. The mean age of participants

was 15.2 years, with most being first-time users of oral contraceptives and/or experiencing dysmenorrhea.
