BUSINESS UPDATE

BioVersys AG (SIX: BIOV) is a multi-asset, clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying, developing and commercializing novel antibacterial products for serious life-threatening infections caused by multi-drug resistant ("MDR") bacteria.

"The first half of 2025 for BioVersys started with the successful IPO on the SIX Swiss Exchange in February. The proceeds from the IPO will allow us to advance our entire pipeline until early 2028 and to bring our lead asset BV100 towards regulatory approval. We are excited to be in the process of preparing to initiate the Phase 3 program for BV100. We also recently announced a new landmark research collaboration and licensing agreement with Shionogi for BV500, initiated an additional Phase 2 trial for alpibectir in pulmonary TB together with GSK and received EU orphan designation for alpibectir. We remain very committed to pushing our innovative medicines forward for patients in need, generating value-adding impact in the fight against AMR and creating shareholder value."

Pipeline Highlights

BV100 (rifabutin for infusion) for carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections

In April 2025, the key data of the Phase 2 Ventilator Associated Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP) clinical trial for BV100 was presented at the ESCMID global in Vienna with several presentations and posters. BV100 showed strong signs of efficacy by halving the mortality rate in critically ill patients suffering from carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections compared to best available therapy. Besides the strong efficacy, BV100 was also considered generally safe and well tolerated. In Part B of the Phase 2 trial, BV100 also proved effective in patients failing best available therapy and those suffering from totally drug-resistant infections. For investors and analysts, we organized a corporate event with two internationally renowned key opinion leaders guiding through the data (webcast available on BioVersys' webpage).

The preparations for the global Phase 3 for BV100 are progressing well and the end of Phase 2 meeting was held with the US FDA leading to an agreed study design. The study will enroll approximately 250 evaluable patients with HABP/VABP or BSI to be randomized 1:1. The study arm for BV100 will be similar in dose and background medicines as during the Phase 2 trial randomized to a Colistin based control arm. The first patient first visit is anticipated for the end of 2025.

Preparations for the planned Phase 2b trial are also progressing well and first patient first visit is anticipated for Q1 2026. The Phase 2b trial is designed to enroll a similar patient population but randomizing to best available therapy and exploring additional combination drugs for BV100 generating real world evidence around best clinical practice. The Phase 2b aims to enroll 90 patients in a 2:1 randomization and is designed to show additional clinical differentiation for BV100 by recruiting in populations where the infecting Acinetobacter baumannii is resistant to even the newest approved drugs.

In both trials, the Phase 3 and Phase 2b trials, there will be a Part B to the study allowing for the recruitment of totally drugresistant patients and allowing them BV100 as rescue therapy.

Besides the progress on the clinical development for BV100, the key composition of matter patent of the formulation of BV100 was also granted in China and is now granted in over 25 jurisdictions globally.

Alpibectir in pulmonary and meningeal Tuberculosis (in partnership with GSK)

Alpibectir is being developed in combination with Ethionamide (AlpE) together with our partner GSK. In Q1 2025, GSK initiated a Phase 2 early bactericidal activity trial for AlpE in combination with first-line TB drugs in pulmonary tuberculosis. This trial is run within UNITE4TB, a European Union and European Pharmaceutical funded Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI2) Joint Undertaking. The trial is progressing well and remains on track to report top line data by Q2 2026. The preparations for a Phase 2 trial in meningeal tuberculosis that will be led by BioVersys together with an academic consortium from France and African countries are on track for a Q1 2026 initiation.

The combination of Alpibectir and Ethionamide (AlpE) was also granted orphan designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This is an important recognition for AlpE based on the strong proof of concept data obtained from the clinical Phase 2a and the potential to address highly drug-resistant TB bacteria including those resistant to the newest TB medicines such as bedaquiline. EMA orphan designation is granted to drug candidates addressing life-threatening or chronically debilitating diseases affecting fewer than 5 in 10'000 EU residents. The orphan status provides key incentives, including reduced fees, research and clinical protocol support, and 10-year EU market exclusivity. AlpE already received orphan drug designation from the US FDA in 2023.

BV500 in non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections (in collaboration with Shionogi)

The BV500 NTM program is derived from BioVersys' proprietary Ansamycin Chemistry platform and aims at developing a potential new, best in class medicine for NTM infections in patients with Cystic Fibrosis(CF) or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). BioVersys has entered into a global research collaboration and exclusive license option agreement with the Japanese Pharma company Shionogi. This partnership further underlines the quality and breadth of BioVersys' pipeline and ensures the swift progression of the BV500 program towards the selection of clinical development candidates to serve patients in need. The agreement focuses initially on the research collaboration in which Shionogi and BioVersys preclinical research teams join forces to identify and develop a clinical development candidate. The long-term expertise and dedication of Shionogi in the space of infectious makes them an ideal partner for BioVersys for the challenging clinical development for NTM medicines by reducing the research and development risk for BioVersys while preserving financial discipline. BioVersys receives near term and upfront payments of CHF 5 million and upon the license agreement is eligible for development, regulatory and sales milestone of up to CHF 479 million, as well as royalties on future sales.

Earlier, BV500 had met the second milestone within the CF AMR syndicate supported Lead optimization program.

Corporate and Management Highlights

BioVersys was listed on the Swiss Exchange (SIX) on February 7, 2025, under the ticker symbol "BIOV" as the first biotech IPO in Switzerland in 7 years and the largest biotech IPO on any European exchange in 5 years. The IPO was an all-primary listing aimed at raising the funds to conduct the clinical Phase 3 program for BV100 and advance the clinical development of alpibectir and the preclinical pipeline.

All motions proposed by the Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting, held in June 2025, were approved by the shareholders of the Company.

June 30, 2025 Financial Highlights

In the course of the first half of the financial year 2025, BioVersys recognized total operating income of CHF 0.6 million (June 30, 2024: CHF 0.5 million) and incurred total operating expenses of CHF 9.9 million, broadly in line when compared with the same period in 2024 (June 30, 2024: CHF 10.9 million).

This led to an operating loss of CHF 9.4 million for the first half of 2025 (June 30, 2024: Operating loss of CHF 10.4 million). The net loss in the first half of 2025 amounted to CHF 11.0 million (June 30, 2024: Net loss of CHF 10.4 million).

The net cash used in operating activities in the first half of 2025 was CHF 9.6 million (June 30, 2024: Net cash used in operating activities CHF 8.5 million).

The cash and cash equivalents position increased to CHF 92.1 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: CHF 26.6 million) as a result of successful IPO in February of this year.

Total shareholders' equity stood at CHF 69.9 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: CHF 10.7 million).

As of June 30, 2025, the company employed 29 FTE (full-time equivalents), up 21% year-over-year. About 75% of the employees are employed in R&D-related functions.

In April 2025, BioVersys and the European Investment Bank amended certain terms and conditions of the loan facility whereby the conditions precedent to access the third tranche of the loan have been updated and the amounts drawn from the facility are now subordinated. These amendments provide BioVersys with significant flexibility moving forward. We are thankful to the EIB for their support, and we will continue to work together on future opportunities as the company develops and our pipeline progresses.

In July 2025 we entered into a research collaboration agreement with Shionogi for our preclinical asset BV500. This partnership allows us to progress our pipeline through solid partnerships with large pharmaceutical companies whilst focusing on delivering on BV100. The research collaboration agreement adds, in addition to our current cash and cash equivalents, CHF 5.0 million and it offloads CHF 5.8 million of expenses until December 2027.

Updated Financial Guidance. We expect the operating loss at year end to be in the range of CHF 29 million, which is an improvement of CHF 3 million compared to the CHF 32 million range provided during the 2024 earnings call. Cash and cash equivalents at year end are estimated to be in the order of CHF 78 million. We expect the company's operations to be fully funded into 2028.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of BioVersys were authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors as of 8 September 2025.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ADOPTION OF IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

a. Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of BioVersys AG for the six months ended 30 June 2025 are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024. The Group has prepared the interim consolidated financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and are presented in thousand Swiss Francs (in thousand CHF). Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to the totals provided. All ratios and variances are calculated using the underlying amount rather than the presented rounded amount.

b. New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2025. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The amendment for IAS 21 Lack of exchangeability applies for the first time in 2025 and has no material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

c. Use of judgement and estimates

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best estimate at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate during the period in which the circumstances change.

d. Change in the Statement of Cash Flows

In 2024, the company revised the presentation of the addition and disposal of current financial assets from an erroneously net to a gross basis. Accordingly, the comparative figures for the half year 2024 have been restated as follows:

Half year 2024
in CHF thousand as presented changes restated
Addition of current financial assets (7,000) (4,000) (11,000)
Disposal of current financial assets - 4,000 4,000
Net change (7,000) - (7,000)

6. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT

The Board of Directors approved as of 7 February 2025 a restricted stock unit plan for the Board of Directors (RSU Plan), a performance share unit plan for the members of the Executive Committee (PSU Plan) as well as a stock appreciation rights plan for its employees (SARs Plan).

RSU Plan:

Under the RSU Plan, the members of the Board of Directors will be eligible to be granted Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Members of the Board of Directors receive at least half of their fixed fees in RSUs, with the option to elect to be paid up to 100% of their fixed fee in RSUs. RSUs generally vest in the first calendar year following the year of grant. In such case, vesting shall occur on the first anniversary of the grant date. Following the vesting date, any delivered shares shall be blocked for two years, in which period the participant may not sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of his/her shares (subject to customary exceptions under the RSU Plan).

PSU Plan:

Under the PSU Plan, the members of the Executive Committee will be eligible to be granted Performance Share Units (PSUs), with percentage targets differing by level. The PSU Plan will provide for certain targets for PSUs based on customary key performance indicators over a three-year vesting period. Vesting of 70% of the granted PSUs is based on the achievement of corporate goals across four categories "Research", "Development", "Financial & Operational", and "Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)". Performance targets for each corporate goal are set for the one-year performance period by the Board of Directors. Vesting of 30% of the granted PSUs is based on the Company's Total Shareholder Return performance measured against SPI Extra Index and NASDAQ Biotechnology Index. This market condition is taken into account when estimating the fair value of the PSUs at grant date.

SARs Plan:

Under the SARs Plan, all employees of the Company, excluding members of the Executive Committee, will be eligible to be granted Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). The number of SARs awarded is based on the achievement of corporate goals and individual objectives. SARs are subject to a two-year vesting period. The exercise period begins at the end of the vesting period and ends seven years after the grant date. When exercising their SARs, employees receive shares in the amount of the difference between the grant price and the share price at the time of the exercise. The SARs plan is classified and accounted for as equity-settled share-based transactions with employees.

Employee stock option plan (ESOP):

The newly introduced plans (RSU, PSU and SARs) have replaced the stock option plan approved in March 2018, and no further grants will be made under the ESOP. Options granted under the previous plan remain outstanding, and in accordance with the plan's terms, participants are entitled to receive shares in the Company upon the vesting of their options. Beneficiaries of the plan were members of the Board of Directors, management, other employees and certain advisors providing services similar to the services provided by employees.

In April 2022 BioVersys AG received from the Basler Kantonalbank a subordinated loan of CHF 4.0 million in connection with the COVID-19 Start-up-warranty ordinance of the canton of Basel-Stadt (SG 819.872). 90% of the nominal amount received is guaranteed by the Canton of Basel-Stadt and 10% by two individuals (5% each). The bank loan is initially recognized at fair value which represents the present value of the expected cash flows using a market-interest rate of 4.3%. From 1 April 2025, the loan bears an interest rate of 0.25% on the nominal amount of the loan, compared with 1.50% previously and 0.00% until 15 December 2023. The increase of the interest rate resulted in an effective interest rate of 4.9%. The loan is subsequently measured at amortized costs. The loan is due on 29 February 2032 or earlier in the case of a corporate transaction (such as a change of control or an IPO). Following the listing of BioVersys AG as of 7 February 2025, the Company has revised our best estimate of payments and adjusted the carrying amount of the amortized cost of the BKB loan as the present value of the estimated future contractual cash flows. The adjustment of CHF 0.9 million has been recognized in profit or loss as finance expense (see Note 5c).

As a compensation for the surety and bank guarantee, the Company granted warrants to the guarantors mentioned above, which allow them to subscribe to 145,666 of the Company's registered shares (refer to note 9.c) at a fixed price of CHF 27.46 at any time during the term of the loan. The warrant agreements are classified as liability, initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The valuation contains inputs which are not based on observable market data and therefore represent unobservable inputs (level 3).

The fair value is determined half-yearly for the interim and the yearend closing. Additional valuations may be necessary due to material changes in the assumptions. Fair value valuation has been conducted as of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024. The following table illustrates the assumptions for the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model used in determining the fair value of the warrants:

30 June 2025 31 Dec 2024
Share price CHF 34.80 CHF 32.00
Fair value of warrants CHF 8.07 CHF 7.56
Risk free interest rate 0.34% 0.12% to 0.18%
Expected term 0.3 years 1.2 years
Expected volatility 42.73% 61.92%

In March 2021 BioVersys AG agreed on a loan agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for in total up to EUR 20.0 million which consists of three tranches. The first tranche of EUR 5.0 million was drawn down on 20 August 2021 with an interest rate of 6.75 % and a maturity date of 20 August 2027. The second tranche of EUR 7.5 million was drawn down on 13 July 2023 with an interest rate of 6.50 % and a maturity date of 13 July 2029. The related interest expenses are accrued over the terms and become due at maturity date. The availability of the third tranche of EUR 7.5 million is dependent on several conditions, which are not yet met. A commitment fee of 1% per annum is payable quarterly on the undrawn and uncancelled portion of the EIB loan from 27 July 2024 until the final availability date.
