Pharming's Cash Offer for Abliva Reaches 92.7% Acceptance Rate

The fourth quarter culminated in a public cash offer by Pharming Group N.V. to the shareholders of Abliva to acquire all issued and outstanding shares in the company. The offer, motivated by the successful interim analysis, was accepted by over 90% of our shareholders on February 20.

Our Positive Interim Analysis is a First in Adult Mitochondrial Disease

The FALCON study made significant progress throughout 2024, achieving several important milestones. As of January 2024, the company had achieved full enrollment of patients into Wave 1. Participants were administered with KL1333 or placebo twice daily for a duration of 48 weeks. The initial 24 weeks of treatment for this cohort contributed valuable data for an interim analysis in July. The interim analysis, conducted by an independent external group of experts, confirmed the strong safety profile of KL1333. The analysis further indicated that both primary endpoints—fatigue and myopathy—showed potential for success upon completion of the full study and validated the final study size to 180 participants. The interim readout was notable as it represented the first positive findings in a well-controlled clinical study of adult mitochondrial disease, marking a significant milestone for both Abliva and the broader mitochondrial disease community.

By the end of November, the last patient in Wave 1 received their final dose. With this phase complete, the team is now finalizing the site footprint for Wave 2 to ensure an expedited start to the final stage of the study.

In December, Abliva announced the publication of Phase 1a/1b study data evaluating KL1333 in healthy volunteers and patients. This research was published in the esteemed journal Brain under the title "Optimising rare disorder trials:

a phase 1a/1b randomized study of KL1333 in adults with mitochondrial disease," authored by Dr. Pizzamilglio and colleagues. The article can be accessed here: https://academic.oup.com/brain/article/148/1/39/7911991.

Interim Analysis Triggers Strategic Discussions

The field of primary mitochondrial disease has attracted attention from investors and pharmaceutical companies for several years. This interest stems from the relatively high number of patients affected and the potential for significant revenue, as therapeutics for rare diseases often command premium pricing. However, potential partners had been hesitant to commit for several reasons including limited understanding of mitochondrial biology, challenges targeting mitochondrial disease, and a history of clinical failures.

The positive interim analysis has changed the landscape. As the furthest advanced program focused on primary mitochondrial disease associated with mtDNA mutations, our study has sparked renewed interest from potential partners. In order to evaluate this interest while considering all options to maximize shareholder value and ensure an efficient path to market, the company engaged strategic advisors. The team evaluated a number of options including a large financing, partnership (development and commercial) as well as mergers and acquisitions (M&A). By pursuing these strategies, we aimed to capitalize on the positive momentum generated by the interim analysis and position ourselves for success in the evolving landscape of mitochondrial disease therapeutics.

Pharming Announces Public Cash Offer

On December 15, Pharming announced a public cash offer to acquire all shares in Abliva AB at a price per share of SEK 0.45, valuing the transaction at approximately SEK 725.3 million. The offer price represented a 227% premium compared to the closing price of the Abliva share the trading day prior to the announcement of the offer, which is one of the highest bid premiums in a public offer seen in Sweden since 2017.

Abliva's Board of Directors recommended that shareholders accept the offer. The Board's decision followed a comprehensive evaluation of the company's financial position, future funding needs, and the opportunities and risks presented by current market conditions. The Board emphasized that Pharming as the new strategic owner could provide greater financial stability, immediate access to necessary capital, and the resources of a larger organization, significantly strengthening the company's ability to develop and commercialize its programs successfully.

The offer was declared unconditional on February 7 and Pharming announced that they would complete the recommended cash offer on the tendered shares (87.7% of the total number of shares in Abliva) and extend the acceptance period until February 20. Pharming announced control of over 90% of the shares on February 20.

Overall, 2024 has been a breakthrough year for Abliva and KL1333, with the FALCON study showing promising results and the Pharming offer paving the way for the next phase of mitochondrial disease development.

Best wishes,

Ellen Donnelly CEO

Innovative Portfolio in Rare and Severe Mitochondrial Disease

Primary mitochondrial disease affects the ability of cells to convert energy. It can manifest itself very differently depending on the organs impacted and the number of dysfunctional mitochondria in that organ. Historically viewed as clinical syndromes, our knowledge about the various mutations underlying mitochondrial disease has increased, improving our ability to identify and treat these patients. It is estimated that 1 in 5,000 people have primary mitochondrial disease.

Primary mitochondrial disease often presents in early childhood and can lead to severe symptoms, such as stunted growth, muscle weakness, pronounced fatigue, heart failure and rhythm disturbances, diabetes, movement disorders, stroke-like episodes, deafness, blindness, limited mobility of the eyes and epileptic seizures.

Events since the start of the fourth quarter

  • By the end of the fourth quarter, all patients in Wave 1 of the FALCON study had completed all visits of the study.
  • The European Medicines Agency (EMA) agreed to Abliva's proposed stepwise Pediatric Investigation Plan (PIP) for KL1333.

Objectives for 2024

  • Interim readout of the KL1333 FALCON study. ✓ Progression of commercial production of KL1333. ✓

Objectives for 2025

• Commencement of Wave 2 of the KL1333 FALCON study.

DISEASE AREA

Abliva's lead candidate, KL1333, has been designed to treat debilitating fatigue and myopathy (muscle weakness) in genetically confirmed adult patients with primary mitochondrial disease. Diagnoses can include MELAS-MIDD and KSS-CPEO spectrum disorders as well as MERRF syndrome. The drug candidate is intended for long-term oral treatment.

KL1333 has the ability to restore the ratio of NAD+ and NADH, and thus leads to the formation of new mitochondria and improved energy levels.

THE FALCON STUDY

FALCON is a Phase 2, global, randomized, placebo-controlled, potentially registrational study evaluating the safety and efficacy of KL1333 in adult patients with primary mitochondrial disease who

experience consistent, debilitating fatigue and myopathy (muscle weakness), the most common and impairing symptoms.

A total of 180 patients with mitochondrial DNA mutations who meet the eligibility criteria are randomized 3:2 to receive KL1333 (50mg-100mg) or placebo twice daily for 48 weeks. The two alternative primary endpoints assess consistent fatigue (using the PROMIS Fatigue Mitochondrial Disease Short Form) and myopathy (using the 30 second Sit-to-Stand test), only one of which must be positive to file for marketing approval.

An interim analysis evaluating 24-week data from the first wave of patients confirmed the strong safety profile of KL1333, and both primary endpoints passed futility, meaning that both have the potential to demonstrate benefit in the final analysis of the study.

PATH TO MARKET

KL1333 has received Orphan Drug Designation in both the US and EU and Fast Track Designation in the US. Upon approval, the drug is expected to see significant uptake with an estimated patient population of up to 1:5,000 people1 . Considering typical orphan drug pricing, this translates into a blockbuster opportunity of over USD 1 billion in peak sales.

NV354 First-in-class therapeutic targeting high unmet need

Orphan drug designation in both the U.S. and Europe

*NV354 has Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) in the U.S. and Europe.

**Given that mitochondrial disease is an orphan disease, a Phase 2 study in these patients, if successful, can have the potential for market approval.

• Given the prioritization of KL1333, no costintensive operational activities are planned for NV354 at this time.

INITIAL FINDINGS

The drug candidate was discovered due to its ability to increase mitochondrial function in cells from mitochondrial Leigh syndrome patients. Leigh syndrome usually debuts at one to two years of age and includes psychomotor regression, low muscle tone, and developmental delays. The disease is fatal, and children with early-onset Leigh syndrome usually die before adulthood.

In Leigh syndrome and related mitochondrial diseases, the first step in energy production (complex 1) does not work properly. NV354, a succinate prodrug, bypasses this deficiency and restores the energy to the cell.

TREATMENT OBJECTIVE

NV354 is being developed for mitochondrial disease with neurologic complications, in particular at insufficient activity in the mitochondrial protein complex I. The resulting deficiency in energy conversion contributes to clinical signs and symptoms in many types of mitochondrial disease, including neurologic complications seen in Leigh syndrome, MELAS, and LHON. There are also expansion opportunities outside of mitochondrial disease, including neurologic conditions where mitochondrial dysfunction has been confirmed.

HIGH UNMET MEDICAL NEED

Given the orphan drug designation and the high unmet medical need, NV354 is expected to have an expedited path to market and the potential for significant commercial sales.

Glossary

Candidate drug. A particular compound which is selected during the preclinical phase. The candidate drug is subsequently tested in humans in clinical studies.

Clinical study. The examination of healthy or unhealthy humans to study the safety and efficacy of a pharmaceutical or treatment method. Clinical trials are divided into different phases, termed Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3. Phase 2 is usually divided into an early phase (Phase 2a) and a later phase (Phase 2b). See also "phase (1,2 and 3)".

(The) FALCON study. Abliva's global potentially registrational Phase 2 clinical trial with the drug candidate KL1333. The study will evaluate the efficacy of KL1333 on fatigue and muscle weakness in adult patients with primary mitochondrial diseases caused by inherited mutations in the mitochondrial DNA.

Fatigue. Extreme tiredness. Often includes muscle fatigue with exercise intolerance.

FDA. The United States Federal Food and Drug Administration.

Indication. A disease condition requiring treatment, such as traumatic brain injury or fatty liver, NASH.

Hypotonia. An abnormally low level of tension, important for posture, in the resting muscle

Interim analysis. The analysis of data in a clinical trial comparing intervention groups before the formal completion of the trial, typically before patient recruitment is complete. Can be used for various purposes, such as assessing the statistical strength of the study to meet the predetermined endpoints.

KSS. Mitochondrial disease, Kearns-Sayre's syndrome. The disease debuts before the age of 20 and is characterized by eye related symptoms with pigment retention in the retina and paralysis of the outer eye muscles, as well as the effects on the cardiac retinal system and the cerebellum with disorders in the coordination of muscle movements (ataxia).

Leigh syndrome. Leigh syndrome is a serious condition with characteristic changes to the brain that usually affects small children. This disease is caused by faults in energy-producing mitochondria and is also known as subacute (fast onset) necrotizing (tissue destroying) encephalomyopathy (a disease of the brain and muscles).

LHON. Mitochondrial disease, Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. Affects the retina and the optic nerve, but in rare cases symptoms can be found in other parts of the central nervous system. There is no cure, but treatments are focused primarily on compensating for the visual impairment.

MELAS. MELAS is an acronym of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (brain and muscle disease) with lactic acidosis (increased lactic acid levels in the blood) and strokelike episodes.

MERRF. (Myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fibers). Primary mitochondrial disease with symptoms such as epilepsy, involuntary muscle twitching and difficulty coordinating muscle movements, but the disease can affect many functions. When examined under a microscope, muscle tissue has characteristic changes.

MIDD. Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness

Mitochondria. That part of each cell that provides effective energy production in the form of conversion of oxygen and nutrients in the body into chemical energy.

Mitochondrial medicine. Field of research and development of pharmaceuticals that protect the mitochondria.

Mitochondrial myopathy. Primary mitochondrial disease which affects the muscles.

mtDNA. Mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondria's own genome that is inherited only on the maternal line. Separate from the cells' genome (nuclear DNA = nDNA) inherited by both parents.

NAD+/NADH. A coenzyme involved in metabolism. NAD+ and NADH have central roles in cell- and mitochondrial metabolism and energy production.

ODD. Orphan Drug Designation. Facilitates development and commercialization, and may, upon receiving marketing authorization, provide orphan drug status with seven or ten years of market exclusivity (in the US and Europe, respectively).

PEO/CPEO. Mitochondrial disease. Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia/Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia.

Phase (1,2 and 3). The various stages of trials on the efficacy of a pharmaceutical in humans. See also "clinical trial." Phase 1 examines the safety on healthy human subjects, Phase 2 examines efficacy in patients with the relevant disease and Phase 3 is a large-scale trial that verifies previously achieved results. In the development of new pharmaceuticals, different doses are trialed and safety is evaluated in patients with relevant disease, Phase 2 is often divided between Phase 2a and Phase 2b.

Preclinical. That stage of drug development that occurs before a candidate drug is trialed on humans.

Primary mitochondrial disease. Metabolic disease that affects the ability of cells to convert energy. An estimated 12 in every 100,000 people are affected. Often presents in early childhood and leads to severe symptoms, such as mental retardation, heart failure and rhythm disturbances, dementia, movement disorders, severe diabetes, stroke-like episodes, deafness, blindness, limited mobility of the eyes, vomiting and seizures.

Psychomotor regression. When the development of the ability to perform will-driven movements is initially normal but deteriorates during infancy or early childhood.

Succinate. Endogenous substance that plays an important role in mitochondrial energy production. Succinate is used by mitochondrial protein complex II.

TBI. Traumatic Brain Injury. An injury to the brain where some nerve cells are subjected to immediate damage. The injury then continues to exacerbate several days after the incident, which significantly impacts the final extent of damage.

About Abliva

Abliva discovers and develops medicines for the treatment of mitochondrial disease. This rare and often very severe disease occurs when the cell's energy provider, the mitochondria, do not function properly. The company has prioritized two projects. KL1333, a powerful regulator of the essential co-enzymes NAD+ and NADH, has entered late-stage development. NV354, an energy replacement therapy, has completed preclinical development. Abliva is based in Lund, Sweden.

What is primary mitochondrial disease?

Primary mitochondrial disease affects the ability of cells to convert energy. It can manifest itself very differently depending on the organs impacted and the number of dysfunctional mitochondria in that organ. Historically viewed as clinical syndromes, our knowledge about the various mutations underlying mitochondrial disease has increased, improving our ability to identify and treat these patients. It is estimated that 125 people per million have primary mitochondrial disease.

Abliva's discovery projects focus on gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial disease in order to enable us to design new molecules and develop the next-generation compounds targeting primary mitochondrial disease.

Stock exchange Abliva is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Sweden (ticker: ABLI).
