CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S LETTER

img-0.jpeg

Dear shareholders,

On February 7, 2025, we took BioVersys from an ETH Zurich Spin Off to a listing on the SIX Swiss Stock Exchange, raising in an all-primary listing CHF 76.7 million to advance our pipeline of life saving, innovative, new antibiotics. Our IPO marked a very exciting start to 2025 during which we advanced our entire development pipeline, struck additional deals and continued to establish BioVersys as an innovative leader in antibacterial drug discovery and development.

Some of the highlights in 2025 include the following:

Our BV100 Phase 2 data was presented at ESCMID Global, one of the largest clinical infectious disease meetings globally. Many investigators and key opinion leaders were involved in highlighting BV100's potential to serve patients suffering from carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii lung infections. We initiated the pivotal Phase 3 trial by the end of 2025 following alignment with major regulatory bodies on the trial design and size. We also decided to conduct the Phase 2b trial in parallel. This Phase 2b study will focus on high burden countries and aims to recruit highly drug-resistant patients and testing additional combinations of BV100 with other antibiotics compared to Best Available Therapy. In a competitive process, our Phase 2b trial was selected to be conducted by the ADVANCE-ID clinical trial network and financed by Wellcome. This recognises the potential of BV100 and BioVersys' development strategy and helps to offset about two-thirds of the anticipated Phase 2b trial cost for the company. We also launched a Phase 1 in China for BV100 to include China as quickly as possible into our global Phase 3 program.

Our second clinical stage program, alpipectir for Tuberculosis (TB) in partnership with GSK, received orphan drug status from the European Medicines Agency. GSK initiated additional Phase 2 trials in pulmonary TB while we prepared for a Phase 2 trial in meningeal TB, which we will initiate in 2026.

Securing a second Big Pharma partnership was an additional highlight for BioVersys in 2025. We signed a research and license option deal for BV500, one of our preclinical assets addressing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) with Shionogi. This is further external validation of BioVersys' pipeline and leadership in developing novel antibacterial drugs addressing unmet medical needs with important market potential.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains one of the biggest global health risks with more than 5 million AMR-associated deaths globally. AMR seriously undermines modern healthcare, as many medical interventions rely on access to working antibiotics. This includes simple surgeries all the way to organ transplants and advanced oncology treatments. Unfortunately outbreaks of highly drug-resistant infections are increasing and the need for novel antibiotics has never been more urgent.

This global health emergency has resulted in governments reviewing their reimbursement systems and policies for novel antibiotics. In 2025, we have seen the UK establish a novel subscription model to pay for new priority antibiotics, and the European Union deciding to establish a new rewards system via so called Transferable Exclusivity Vouchers (TEV). These TEVs could come to action as early as 2026.

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


Chairman and Chief Executive Officer's Letter

We are pleased to see this much-needed progress on policies that assign an adequate value to critical novel antibiotics addressing priority health threats and incentivizing innovative AMR companies. BioVersys remains a global leader in AMR with a comprehensive pipeline of novel drug candidates.

In 2026, we will initiate recruitment for our BV100 clinical trials - the pivotal Phase 3 and the commercial differentiation Phase 2b trial. For our Phase 2b trial we expect first interim data towards the end of 2026. Alpibectir will complete the Phase 2b/c trial run by GSK and we will initiate recruitment into our Phase 2 TB meningitis trial. Additional news flow can be expected from our preclinical pipeline. As a leader in anti-infectives, we will also continue to explore further portfolio expansion via our internal discovery pipeline or via relevant deals.

We are grateful to our shareholders, our partners and our incredible team at BioVersys. Together we will generate stakeholder value, shape the future of BioVersys and positively impact AMR.

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


PORTFOLIO AND PIPELINE

BioVersys is developing a pipeline of differentiated antibacterial drugs with first-in-class and best-in-class potential addressing some of the world's largest unmet medical needs offering a clear commercial positioning. Our two clinical stage assets, BV100 and alpibectir, are small molecules derived from our two in-house technology platforms, the TRIC technology platform and the Ansamycin Discovery platform. BV100 and alpibectir have both successfully completed Phase 2 trials for the treatment of life-threatening bacterial infections identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as priority pathogens.

Our preclinical pipeline programs, BV200 and BV500, follow the continued exploitation of our technology platforms and form the next generation innovation also targeting high unmet medical need bacterial pathogens.

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

BV100 (rifabutin for infusion) is the first within its chemical class to show significant activity at drug concentrations suitable for human therapy against A. baumannii and we believe it has the potential to become the best-in-class product for the treatment of severe life-threatening hospital infections caused by A. baumannii, in particular for carbapenem-resistant and MDR strains. Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has been designated as a priority 1-critical pathogen by WHO and is therefore an urgent threat, which causes healthcare-associated infections and is one of the most antibiotic-resistant pathogens in human medicine.

We identified a novel mode of action by which rifabutin, a well-known and already approved active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API"), is actively transported into the A. baumannii cell thereby increasing the concentration of the drug in the cell. Unlike other antibiotics, rifabutin specifically interacts with an outer membrane receptor of A. baumannii, called FhuE and activates this receptor to promote its own entry into the bacterial cell. This allows rifabutin to achieve high intracellular concentrations and exhibit its bactericidal activity by inhibiting the bacterial RNA polymerase B.

img-3.jpeg
Figure 2: Rifabutin for infusion. The vials contain highly concentrated Rifabutin for infusion, while the final infusion bag is depicted in the background.

Over the last few decades, overall resistance against carbapenem antibiotics in A. baumannii (CRAB) has increased to over $50\%$ , including a $40 - 50\%$ resistance rate in the US, over $70\%$ in Southern and Eastern Europe and $60 - 70\%$ in China. The number of life-threatening infections caused by A. baumannii is estimated at c. 215,000 per year in the major markets and over 2.5 million per year in China and the emerging markets. The impact of these infection rates and carbapenem resistance rates on patients and the healthcare systems is important. Pneumonia and blood stream infections (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are associated with mortality rates approaching $50\%$ and an average of 19 days spent in ICU at an estimated cost of $200,000 per patient in the US.

Annual Report 2025 - BioVersys


Development update

BV100 is our first asset to advance into a global Phase 3 clinical trial and in parallel, we run a Phase 2b trial aiming to support its commercial positioning. We progress BV100 into late-stage clinical development based on thorough Phase 1 studies (overall seven clinical Phase 1 trials completed) and a clinical Phase 2 study that was conducted in Ventilator Associated Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP). The Phase 2 showed not only that BV100 is generally safe and well tolerated, but also a strong survival benefit based on all-cause mortality (ACM). The ACM in the BV100 arms was at 28.5% vs 60% in the control arm receiving Best Available Therapy (BAT). Further analysis of the data showed also improved bacterial clearance (75% vs 50%) and clinical cure (75% vs 30%) in favour of BV100 and a reduced time on ventilator. The results of the Phase 2 have been presented at several congresses and Key Opinion Leaders events, amongst others at one of the largest clinical infectious disease conferences globally, ESCMID global.

In 2025, we conducted successfully the end of Phase 2 meetings with the US FDA and the EMA Emergency Task Force defining the path towards a potential approval of BV100. In the Phase 3 design, we deploy the same setup for the BV100 test arm in terms of dose for BV100, the combination with a low dose of Polymyxin, benefitting from synergistic effects related to prevention of resistance and background therapy for polymicrobial infections. Thus, the setup in the clinical Phase 3 contains no changes for the BV100 study group compared to the Phase 2. The comparator arm however will be fixed to a combination of Colistin plus Sulbactam (both high dose) and background therapy for polymicrobial infections. Fixing the comparator arm allows to better compare the safety data between test arms and to conduct the trial with comparable standards on a global level. This Phase 3 trial (RIV-TARGET; NCT07326540) aims to result in a data package that could lead to approval of BV100 plus low dose Polymyxin with the US FDA, EMA and the Chinese authorities (NMPA). We expect RIV-TARGET to deliver top line data by end 2027.

We initiated also a small Phase 1 study in China allowing the onboarding of Chinese trial sites into our RIV-TARGET trial later in 2026. We expect the Phase 1 in China to be completed within H1 2026.

Besides the RIV-TARGET Phase 3 trial, we will conduct a Phase 2b trial (RIV-CARE; NCT07431307) together with the South-East Asia focused clinical trial network ADVANCE-ID (ADVANcing Clinical Evidence in Infectious Diseases). The aim of RIV-CARE is to enable a further clinical differentiation of BV100 plus low dose Polymyxin B in patients with infections due to CRAB or pan-drug resistant (PDR) organisms in comparison with best available therapy. RIV-CARE will also test BV100 plus low dose Polymyxin in combination with Ceftazidime/Avibactam or with Cefiderocol. We feel that generating additional clinical evidence in high burden countries and in the most drug-resistant patient population will further support the future commercial positioning of BV100. BioVersys initially planned to conduct the RIV-CARE trial on our own budget, but we applied to a competitive process run by ADVANCE-ID and have been selected to enter the trial network and benefit from significant co-funding as ADVANCE-ID is funded by Wellcome. For BioVersys this means additional validation for the potential of BV100, our development strategy and allows the company to offset approximately 2/3 of the RIV-CARE trial cost. As RIV-CARE is an open label trial, we expect a first data update towards the end of 2026 and the final top line data to be available end of 2027.

Besides the significant progress on the development side, BioVersys also got additional patents granted around the new formulation and use thereof, including an important patent grant in China.

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

Alpibectir (also known as BVL-GSK098) is our second lead asset, partnered with GSK and, to our knowledge, the first small molecule in human clinical trials targeting bacterial transcriptional regulators for the treatment of pulmonary and meningeal tuberculosis (TB).

The mode of action of alpibectir is directly linked to ethionamide (Eto), a standard treatment for tuberculosis since 1965 but that has started to show significant levels of resistance, up to over 30% in China and suffers from dose related side effects.

Alpibectir works by potentiating Eto's activity, thus allowing to use lower doses of Eto while retaining or improving the activity and reversing M. tuberculosis resistance against Eto. This mode of action is first-in-class, as alpibectir is activating an alternative enzymatic pathway (MymA/VirS) that activates Eto inside mycobacteria. This pathway also allows the common resistance against Eto that is driven by the main enzymatic activation pathway to be overcome and thus restore the antibacterial activity of Eto towards Eto-resistant TB. Eto is a thioamide anti-tuberculosis drug which is on the WHO essential medicines list. In addition, alpibectir in combination with Eto is rapidly bactericidal, which means that the bacterial load in the lung is actively reduced relatively quickly. Moreover, alpibectir and Eto are ideally suited for TB-Meningitis as both penetrate the blood-brain barrier, which is necessary for the effective treatment of this disease.


TB is one of the leading causes of death by infectious diseases globally, killing over 1 million people each year, and many existing treatments are becoming less effective due to growing drug resistance. TB-Meningitis is particularly problematic with a 50% mortality rate in adults and causing long-term disabilities in surviving children.

Development update

The development of alpibectir advanced well in 2025 based on the strong Phase 2a data that delivered the proof of concept for the combination of alpibectir/Ethionamide (AlpE) in patients with pulmonary TB. The Phase 2a data was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine in February 2026.

Our partner GSK introduced AlpE into a European Innovative Health Initiative (EU IHI) funded clinical trial program called UNITE4TB. AlpE entered a first clinical trial which was an extended Phase 2a in pulmonary TB to test additional doses of alpibectir in combination with Ethionamide and to test AlpE for the first time in combination with the standard TB drug regimen. The trial started recruitment in Q1 2025 and completed recruitment in Q4 2025. Topline data is expected in H1 2026. AlpE transitions in 2026 directly into a next trial phase within UNITE4TB, which is a Phase 2b/c trial in which AlpE will be given for two months in combination with the standard TB treatment excluding Isoniazid (INH). This trial will assess the potential for AlpE to replace INH in future TB drug regimens and is expected to complete recruitment by end of 2026.

During 2025, BioVersys prepared an additional Phase 2 clinical trial for AlpE in meningeal TB. This trial will initiate recruitment in H1 2026 and is conducted with a clinical trial consortium from Bordeaux (France) in three high burden countries (Ivory Coast, Zambia and Madagascar). The trial benefits from co-funding from the French National research funding agency (ANRS).

Besides the orphan drug designation that AlpE already received from the US FDA, we also received orphan status from EMA in 2025. Combined with the clear positioning options of AlpE as INH replacement in INH monoresistant TB patients, as fast bactericidal agent in new MDR-drug regimens and as potentially important add on for TB meningitis, we remain confident for the future value of AlpE for patients. AlpE is eligible for the FDA tropical neglected diseases priority review voucher (PRV).

BV200 in Atopic Dermatitis

Our BV200 program comprises a novel series of potentially first-in-class small molecules that act as anti-virulence agents against Gram-positive S. aureus, with an initial indication against mild-to-moderate Atopic Dermatitis (AD). If successful, this approach could improve the quality of life for millions of patients, reduce healthcare costs, and spare antibiotics at a time when AMR is an important issue whilst limiting the use of expensive immunomodulators being prescribed for moderate to severe cases of AD.

The preclinical dose finding is ongoing for the current BV200 lead candidate, expected to be moved forward into IND enabling studies. BV200 continues to be supported by a grant from Innosuisse under the Swiss Accelerator program.

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

The BV500 program focuses on a series of novel small molecules targeting primarily pathogens of the class of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), which affect patients with chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. NTMs represent a high-need indication with approximately 250,000 patients worldwide, predominantly in the US and Japan.

The aim of BV500 is to deliver a potentially best in class oral therapy for NTM infections. BV500 is our earliest asset in the pipeline, which was co-funded by the CF AMR syndicate and successfully met the development milestones in this grant. The program continues as well to be supported by the EU IHI Respiri-NTM program.


Portfolio and Pipeline

In Q2 2025, we announced a global research collaboration and license option agreement with the Japanese Pharma company Shionogi for BV500. The deal allowed BioVersys to receive upfront and near-term payments of CHF 5 million and upon exercise of the license option, regulatory and sales milestones of up to CHF 479 million as well as royalties on future sales. The deal with Shionogi further underlines the diversity and strength of BioVersys' pipeline and innovation capabilities. After GSK, we have been able to bring a second Pharma partner on board. Besides the upfront and near-term payments, Shionogi assumes also the R&D cost of the program. We decided to collaborate with Shionogi on this program as they are one of the most reputable companies active in infectious disease R&D and commercialization globally. Their team is very experienced in developing new medicines for difficult to treat infections and they form an ideal partner also for clinical development of BV500. For BioVersys this deal means that we can continue to focus the majority of the IPO proceeds on our lead asset BV100, while maintain strong momentum also in our earlier stage pipeline and pushing assets like BV500 with a strong commercial potential forward into development. The next key milestone in the collaboration is to deliver a preclinical development candidate.

COMPENSATION REPORT

1. Introduction

This compensation report provides the information required by the Swiss Code of Obligations. It also includes the compensation-related disclosures as required by the Directive on Information relating to corporate governance issued by the SIX Exchange Regulation and the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance.

Following the Company's listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange on February 7, 2025, the preparation of a Compensation Report is required in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations. For transparency and completeness, the Company has voluntarily extended the reporting period to cover the full calendar year from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

In line with applicable regulations, the requirement to present prior-year comparative figures does not apply to the first reporting year, as the Company was not subject to the Swiss Code of Obligations' compensation disclosure provisions prior to its listing. Consequently, this Compensation Report includes information solely for the financial year 2025. Starting with the Compensation Report for the financial year 2026, the Company will provide prior-year figures for 2025 to ensure compliance with statutory requirements and to enhance year-over-year comparability.

2. Compensation Policy and principles

The objectives of the compensation policy include attracting, retaining and motivating employees to achieve results. The compensation policy is designed to support a performance culture. The compensation policy balances short- and long-term incentive components to reflect the responsibility of the employees' roles and we believe that we align the interests of the Board, management and employees with the interests of the Company and its shareholders. Further details are available in the sections that follow.

3. Compensation and Nomination Committee (CNC)

The members of the CNC will be elected individually by the annual general meeting of shareholders for a term of office until completion of the following annual general meeting of shareholders. Re-election is possible. According to the Articles of Association, the Organizational Regulations and the Charter of the CNC, the CNC shall consist of no less than three non-executive members of the Board. The chairperson of the CNC is appointed by the Board. According to the Organizational Regulations and the Charter of the CNC, all members of the CNC shall be independent as defined in the Swiss Code of Obligation. In addition, members of the CNC shall not have a position in a third-party company in which such member reports to a person who is a director or member of the Executive and Nomination Committee of the Company.

4. External advisors

In 2024, a compensation benchmarking study was performed by an external consultancy firm to assess market competitiveness of BioVersys' compensation levels for the Board of Directors and the EC. This compensation study has been used to define the compensation of the Board of Directors and the EC following the listing at the SIX Swiss Exchange as of February 7, 2025.

5. Rules in the Articles Regarding Compensation

5.1. Overview

BioVersys follows a "say on pay" approval mechanism for the compensation of the Board and the Executive Committee pursuant to which the shareholders must vote on the compensation of the Board and the Executive Committee on an annual basis. In accordance with these requirements, the Articles of Association provide that the general meeting of shareholders must, each year, approve separately the proposals by the Board regarding the aggregate amounts of:

  • the maximum compensation of the Board until completion of the next annual general meeting of shareholders; and
  • the maximum compensation of the Executive Committee (fixed and variable compensation elements) for the following financial year.

In addition, the Company submits its compensation report to the annual general meeting for a consultative vote.

If the general meeting of shareholders does not approve a proposal of the Board regarding the compensation amounts described above, the Board determines, taking into account all relevant factors, the respective (maximum) aggregate amount or (maximum) partial amounts and submits such amount(s) for approval by a general meeting of shareholders.

If the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Executive Committee already approved by the general meeting of shareholders is not sufficient to also cover the compensation of individual(s) who become member(s) of the Executive Committee after such general meeting of shareholders, each such person may be paid up to 50% of the respective aggregate amount of maximum compensation of the Executive Committee last approved by the general meeting of shareholders.

5.2. Compensation principles in the Articles of Association

According to the Articles of Association, the compensation of the non-executive members of the Board consists of a fixed base compensation and may comprise further compensation elements. Total compensation shall take into account position and level of responsibility of the respective recipient.

The compensation of the executive members of the Board and members of the Executive Committee consists of fixed and variable compensation elements. Fixed compensation comprises the base salary and may consist of other compensation elements. Variable compensation may comprise short-term and long-term variable compensation

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


Compensation Report

elements. Total compensation shall take into account position and level of responsibility of the respective recipient.

Compensation may be paid in the form of cash, shares, in kind or in the form of other types of benefits; for the executive members of the Board and the members of the Executive Committee, compensation may in addition be granted in the form of options or comparable instruments or units. The Board or, to the extent delegated to it, the CNC shall determine grant, vesting, exercise, restriction and/or forfeiture conditions and periods. In particular, they may provide for continuation, acceleration or removal of vesting, exercise, restriction and forfeiture conditions and periods, for payment or grant of compensation based upon assumed target achievement, or for forfeiture, in each case in the event of pre-determined events such as a change of control or termination of an employment or mandate agreement.

6. Voting procedures at the 2026 General Meeting

We will propose the following votes on compensation for shareholder approval:

  • Board of Directors: The maximum aggregate amount of compensation for the member of the Board of Directors for the period from the Annual General Meeting 2026 to the Annual General Meeting 2027.
  • Executive Committee: The maximum aggregate amount of compensation for the member of the Executive Committee for the financial year 2027, consisting of a maximum aggregate cash compensation and a maximum aggregate compensation under the long-term incentive plan.

7. Board of Directors Compensation

7.1. Overview

The compensation of the Directors was paid in form of an annual base fee of CHF 250,000 for the Chair and CHF 90,000 for each non-executive member of the Board (including the Vice-Chair). In addition, a fixed fee of CHF 20,000 for all Committee chairs and CHF 10,000 for each Committee membership was paid. Travel and other expenses are to be based on actuals and are not part of the above-mentioned Board fees. 50% of each Director's compensation was paid out in cash, and 50% in restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the RSU Plan (as defined below). Directors had the possibility to voluntarily increase portion of share-based compensation to 100% on individual basis.

7.2. The RSU Plan

As of February 7, 2025 the Company introduced the RSU Plan under which the members of the Board of Directors will be eligible to be granted Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"). The objective of the RSU Plan is to establish a framework that enables the Company to provide certain eligible persons with a long-term incentive to contribute to the future success and prosperity of the Company and to align the interests of the participant with those who hold an ownership interest in the goodwill and success of the Group. The RSU Plan will provide for the possibility to grant RSUs as part of the annual compensation of the members of the Board of Directors. RSUs contain no performance element and will vest into shares of the Company following a one-year vesting period, on a one-to-one basis, followed by a two-year blocking period. During the blocking period the participant may not sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of his/her shares (subject to customary exceptions under the RSU Plan).

The Shares required for the RSU Plan will either be sourced from the Company's conditional share capital, from Shares held in treasury, or through Shares purchased in the open market.

7.3. Approved compensation at the 2025 AGM

Our Annual General Shareholders' Meeting (AGM) must vote each year on the approval of motions from the Board concerning the aggregate maximum amount of compensation for the Board until the following AGM. For the Board the compensation period starts after the AGM and ends on the day before the AGM of the subsequent year. With respect to the Board compensation, the approval of the shareholders for fixed compensation is prospective.

At our 2025 AGM the shareholders approved a maximum aggregate amount of compensation for the members of the Board of Directors of CHF 730,000, including social security contributions, for the period from the Annual General Meeting 2025 to the Annual General Meeting 2026.

8. Executive Committee Compensation

8.1. Overview

The compensation of the members of the Executive Committee will be paid in the form of a fixed compensation consisting of a base salary, payable in cash and contributions to the pension scheme. In addition, the members of the Executive Committee are expected to be eligible for (i) a variable annual bonus as a short-term incentive based on the corporate achievements of the Company as well as individual performance payable in cash, and (ii) a long term equity incentive plan (the PSU Plan, as defined below) consisting of a combination of performance based long-term variable compensation to be paid in performance share units ("PSUs") with percentage targets to differ depending on their roles in the Executive Committee. The general meeting of shareholders shall vote on the proposals of the Board of Directors in relation to the aggregate amounts of the maximum compensation of the Executive Committee for the following financial year.

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


Compensation Report

8.2. The PSU Plan

As of February 7, 2025 the Company introduced the PSU Plan under which the members of the Executive Committee will be eligible to be granted PSUs, with percentage targets differing by level. The objective of the PSU Plan is to align the interests of the participant with those who hold an ownership interest in the goodwill and success of the Group, attract, retain and motivate high-quality talent in an effort to advance the goodwill and business interests of the Group, align the compensation of key managers with the goals of the Group, and reward and compensate top performers. The PSU Plan will provide for certain targets for PSUs based on customary key performance indicators over a three-year performance and vesting period such as the relative total shareholder return as measured against a peer group of relevant companies and include customary vesting periods.

PSUs will vest into shares of the Company following the completion of a three-year performance period and based on certain key performance indicators (KPIs). The achievement level of the KPIs determines a vesting factor between 0% and 144% (the Performance Condition). The number of granted PSUs multiplied with the Performance Condition at the vesting date results in the number of PSUs to vest into shares. The Board of Directors determines the KPIs of the PSUs granted.

PSUs only vest if a member of the Executive Committee is in continuous employment during the performance period, subject to certain exceptions, such as termination due to restructuring or redundancy, retirement, death, or disability. All shares and PSUs are furthermore subject to a clawback provision, which enables the Board of Directors to withhold or recover compensation from members of the Executive Committee if they are found to have engaged in behaviour such as acts of fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

The Shares required for the PSU Plan will either be sourced from the Company's conditional share capital, from Shares held in treasury, or through Shares purchased in the open market.

8.3. Approved compensation at the 2025 AGM

Our Annual General Shareholders' Meeting (AGM) must vote each year on the approval of motions from the Board concerning the aggregate maximum amount of compensation for the Executive Committee (EC) for the following financial year. For the compensation of the EC the approval of the shareholders is prospective allowing the Board to set targets and reward achievements of corporate and individual goals for each member of the EC.

At our 2025 AGM, the shareholders approved a maximum aggregate amount of compensation for the members of the Executive Committee of CHF 2,890,000 for the financial year 2026, consisting of a maximum aggregate cash compensation amount of CHF 2,090,000 and a maximum aggregate compensation under the long-term incentive plan in the amount of CHF 800,000.

The approved amounts include a fixed cash compensation of CHF 1,420,000 (including social security contributions) for the Members of the Executive Committee. Additionally, the members are eligible for an annual performance-related cash bonus. The bonus amount is determined based on the achievement of company and individual goals and it can range from CHF 0 up to a maximum of CHF 670,000 (including social security contributions).

The amount of CHF 800,000 proposed for financial year 2026 represents the indicative target value of the PSUs at grant date and is based on 100% of base salary for the CEO and 30% to 60% of base salaries for the other members of the Executive Committee.

8.6. Achievement of 2025 Corporate Goals

The board reviews achievement against the corporate goals when determining the performance-related cash bonus for the executive committee. The corporate goals for 2025 listed in the following paragraph were set by the board in February 2025 and consisted of financial and operating goals that support the execution of BioVersys's strategy.

For the strategic goal setting, the board follows four main categories aligned with BioVersys general strategy: 1. Research; 2. Development; 3. Financial and Operations and 4. ESG. The Board sets annually goals for the company in each category that adequately reflect the company's strategy and associated timelines. In Research and Development, these goals relate to the execution of the current pipeline - advancing the clinical trials in development and moving research programs forward towards clinical development. The category of Financial and Operations focuses adequate budget discipline, additional funding opportunities and maintaining and establish further partnerships in the AMR field for BioVersys. The ESG category focuses on good company governance and on high ethical clinical trials standards, high product quality and safety standards, patient access and effective cyber security and data protection.

In February 2026, the Board of Directors evaluated the Corporate Goals 2025 and determined that the Company reached a 100% overall achievement level. The assessment was based on a very strong performance in 2025, with highlights such as the progress on the development and research side of the pipeline, attracting an additional Pharma partner for BV500, securing significant non-dilutive funding for the RIV-CARE trial (Phase 2b, BV100) and further improving the ESG oversight.

9. Former incentive plans

The Group previously implemented an employee stock option plan (ESOP), and a long-term incentive plan (LTIP). In connection with the Offering on February 7, 2025, the ESOP and the LTIP were terminated and the participants are entitled to receive Shares in the Company once their options vest. The options disclosed under sections 11.1 and 11.2 were granted under the following plans.

The ESOP was approved by the Board of Directors in March 2018 and was put in place to provide certain key employees of the Company and members of the Board with additional incentives by granting them the right to purchase shares of the Company. 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.

Each option entitles its holder to purchase one share of the Company at a pre-defined exercise price during an exercise period of ten years. The number of options granted to each participant was determined by the Board of Directors based on a participant's position and level of responsibility.

The LTIP was approved by the Board of Directors in March 2020 and was put in place in order to enable members of the senior management of the Group, as well as certain members of the Board, to be exposed to the long-term financial success of the Group.

To the General Meeting of BioVersys Ltd, Basel

Basel, 17 March 2026

Report of the statutory auditor on the audit of the compensation report

Opinion

We have audited the compensation report of BioVersys Ltd (the Company) for the year ended 31 December 2025. The audit was limited to the information pursuant to Art. 734a-734f of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) in the tables marked “audited” on page 30 and pages 32 to 33 of the compensation report.

In our opinion, the information pursuant to Art. 734a-734f CO in the compensation report complies with Swiss law and the Company’s articles of incorporation.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the remuneration report” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the tables marked “audited” in the compensation report, the consolidated financial statements, the stand-alone financial statements and our auditor’s reports thereon.

Our opinion on the compensation report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the compensation report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the audited financial information in the compensation report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Board of Directors' responsibilities for the compensation report

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of a compensation report in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a compensation report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. It is also responsible for designing the compensation system and defining individual compensation packages.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the compensation report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the information pursuant to Art. 734a-734f CO is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this compensation report.

As part of an audit in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the compensation report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.

We communicate with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Board of Directors or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

BioVersys AG (“BioVersys” or the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) is a limited company (Aktiengesellschaft) with registered office at Tech Park Basel, Hochbergerstrasse 60 C, 4057 Basel, Switzerland. It was established on 17 December 2010. Since 7 February 2025, the Company has been listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (ISIN: CH0210362643). Refer to Note 15 for more information about the listing.

The Company controls three subsidiaries: 100% ownership of BioVersys SAS (“BioVersys France”), which was incorporated in Lille, France, on 23 April 2018, 100% ownership of BioVersys USA Inc. (“BioVersys US”) which was incorporated in Delaware, US, on 16 November 2018 and 100% ownership of Guangzhou BioVersys Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“BioVersys China”) which was incorporated in Guangzhou, China, on 13 June 2024. The Company and its subsidiaries form the BioVersys Group (the “Group”).

The Group is researching and developing next-generation antimicrobial drugs for multidrug resistant bacterial infections. The Group has several distinct antibacterial programs in development. Its pipeline is focused on addressing the highest unmet medical needs, as identified by the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) priority pathogens.

The consolidated financial statements of BioVersys as of and for the year ended 31 December 2025 were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors as of 17 March 2026.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ADOPTION OF IFRS ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

a. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and applicable as of the reporting date 31 December 2025.

The 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 these consolidated financial statements 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. Going Concern

With the cash and cash equivalents as of 31 December 2025, the Company is able to finance its operations well beyond the next twelve calendar months and thus the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared under the going concern assumption.

c. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

Amendments effective in 2025:

The adoption of the following amendment to the IFRS Accounting Standards which became mandatorily effective from 1 January 2025 has not had any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

  • IAS 21 (Amendments) Lack of exchangeability (effective 1 January 2025)

Issued standards not yet adopted:

Effective for annual periods on, or after Planned adoption by BioVersys
IFRS 9 & 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendment) 1 January 2026 Financial Year 2026
IFRS 9 & 7 Power Purchase Agreements’ (Amendments) 1 January 2026 Financial Year 2026
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements 1 January 2027 Financial Year 2027
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures 1 January 2027 Financial Year 2027
IAS 21 Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency (Amendment) 1 January 2027 Financial Year 2027

None of the not yet adopted standards or amendments is expected to have a significant impact on the Group financial statements.

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


Consolidated Financial Statements

d. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Company obtains control until such time as control ceases.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

e. Consolidation Scope for the years 2025 and 2024

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries listed below:

Company Registered Currency Activity Nominal Capital Ownership/voting shares
BioVersys AG
(Parent Company) Switzerland CHF R&D/HQ CHF 5,848,011
BioVersys SAS France EUR R&D EUR 10,000 100%
BioVersys USA Inc. USA USD dormant USD 0.50 100%
Guangzhou BioVersys Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. China CNY R&D CNY 50,000 100%

HQ: Headquarter
R&D: Research & Development activities

Consolidated Financial Statements

3. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Foreign currency translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Swiss francs ("CHF"), which is the functional currency of the Company. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded by the Group's entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and from the translation of such items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss in the year they arise.

For reporting and consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries reporting in foreign currency are translated into the Group's presentation currency (Swiss Francs) using the exchange rate at the reporting date. The respective income statements are translated at the average yearly exchange rates of the reporting year. All resulting translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

The exchange rates used within the Group are as follows:

| | Income statement in CHF
average yearly exchange rates | | Statement of financial
position in CHF year-end rates | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| EUR | 0.9370 | 0.9524 | 0.9305 | 0.9385 |
| USD | 0.8307 | 0.8801 | 0.7923 | 0.9063 |
| CNY | 0.1155 | 0.1223 | 0.1134 | 0.1242 |

b. Revenue

The Company applies the five-step model to contracts only when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of IFRS 15, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Determining the timing of the transfer of control, at a point in time or over time, requires judgment.

Revenues may include fees such as upfront as well as technology access payments received in connection with research and collaboration agreements. The Company assesses for each performance obligations whether the promised service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. If the performance obligation is settled over time, the Company determines the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue.

Revenues could include fees such as development or sales milestone payments received in connection with collaboration, out licensing or other agreements. Upon meeting the set milestone, the Group obtains a right to a non-refundable payment without any remaining performance obligations for the Group. Considering the uncertainty surrounding the outcome of such development activities, revenue is recognized once each milestone (considered variable consideration) is reached, as uncertainty of revenue/payment no longer exists.

c. Other operating income

Grants or subsidies received from governmental and other organizations are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that all related conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.

Government grants in form of below-market interest rates on loans are initially recognized in the balance sheet as deferred income. The grant benefit is recognized in the same periods in which the expenses are charged, thereby matching the benefit with the interest cost.

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


Consolidated Financial Statements

d. Research and development

Research and development (R&D) expenses consists mainly of compensation and other expense related to R&D personnel, preclinical and clinical studies and other third-party costs related to R&D (i.e., Clinical Research Organizations (CROs), Clinical Development Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs), etc.). These costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as incurred as long as the criteria for capitalization are not met.

e. Income taxes

Income taxes include current and deferred taxes. Current income taxes are recognized on taxable profits at applicable tax rates of the respective jurisdiction.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred taxes are determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Any changes of the tax rates are recognized in the income statement unless related to items directly recognized in equity or other comprehensive loss.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

f. Earnings / (loss) per share

The Group presents basic earnings / (loss) per share for each period in the consolidated financial statements. The basic earnings / (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net result for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share considers the potential conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

g. Property, plant and equipment

All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the individual assets or asset categories. The applicable estimated useful lives are as follows:

Laboratory equipment: 8 years
Office equipment: 5 to 8 years
IT hardware: 3 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and revised if appropriate, at least annually. The Group assesses at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. An asset's carrying amount is impaired immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is higher than its estimated recoverable amount.

h. Internal research and development activities

The Group considers that the regulatory and other uncertainties inherent in the development of its product pipeline do not meet the recognition criteria of IAS 38, consequently it does not capitalize research and development costs.

i. Leases

All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for leases of low value assets and leases with a duration of twelve months or less.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the expected lease payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate implicit in the lease unless this is not readily determinable, in which case the Group's incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used.

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


Consolidated Financial Statements

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date. After the initial measurement, lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining expected term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if this is assessed to be shorter than the lease term.

When the Group revises its estimate of the term of any lease, it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the expected payments over the revised term, which are discounted using a revised discount rate.

j. Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The cash flow statement is based on cash and cash equivalents.

k. Financial assets

Financial assets of the Group consist of other receivables, current financial assets, restricted funds and cash and cash equivalents. There is the intention to hold them to maturity in order to collect the contractual cash flow, and this cash flow is only for the principal and interest. Therefore, these financial assets are recognized and measured subsequently at amortized cost.

l. Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs incurred. After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss. The warrants are the only financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss. Amortized cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate amortization is included as finance expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

The fair value measurements are categorized into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the input and techniques used. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

m. Employee benefit liabilities

Pension liabilities:

The Group operates pension plans in Switzerland and France. The French pension plan qualifies as defined contribution plan. The basic Swiss pension plan qualifies as defined benefit plan whereas the Swiss premium pension plan (1e plan) is accounted for as a defined contribution plan.

The Group's obligation regarding the defined contribution plans for each period is determined by the amounts to be contributed for that period, which are expensed in the respective period.

The Swiss pension plan is affiliated to a multi-employer foundation, consequently the benefits in accordance with the regulations are reinsured in their entirety with the respective insurance company within the framework of the corresponding contract. Contributions to these funds are made by both the employees and the Company in accordance with Swiss legal requirements and the plan rules.

The Swiss basic pension plan qualifies as defined benefit plan under the IFRS Accounting Standards and provides for an annuity or a lump sum payment on retirement. In addition, the plan covers disability and death-in service. The Group's net obligation in respect of the defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amounts of future benefits that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


Consolidated Financial Statements

in other comprehensive income. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), considering any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss. When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

The Group recognizes an accrual where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. Cash bonuses are based on a formula that takes into consideration the Group's and employee's goal achievements.

n. Share-based payments

The Company classifies its share-based payments as equity-settled awards as they are settled in equity. The Company determines the cost of equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees and others providing similar services at the fair value of such awards at their grant date and does not subsequently remeasure them. That cost is recognized as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (accumulated losses), over the relevant vesting period in line with the graded vesting patterns of the awards. At each reporting date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options or other equity instruments that are expected to vest. It recognizes the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and a corresponding adjustment to equity. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions with third parties, the cost of the services received and the corresponding increase in equity are measured directly at the fair value of the services received based on their market price.

o. Equity

The costs of equity transactions are accounted for as a deduction from equity. Equity transaction costs are comprised of only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided.

Share premium represents payments or contributions made by shareholders in addition to share capital. Cumulative translation adjustments are the result of different foreign exchange rates used for translation of foreign operations into the presentation currency (CHF) of the Group.

  1. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

a. Pension liabilities

The present value of the defined benefit obligations is determined based on actuarial calculations which involve making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the calculations, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, the defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions (see also Note 10).

b. Share-based payments

The Group's share-based payment plans qualify as equity-settled plans and the fair value is determined at the grant date. Share options granted are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model (see Note 11). This valuation model as well as parameters used such as expected volatility, exercise date and expected lifetime of the share options are partially based on management's estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of non-vested share options using a reasonable estimate of market value of the common shares on the grant date of the award.

c. Warrants

The warrants in the connection with the loan from the Basler Kantonalbank (BKB-loan) represent a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss. The warrants are valued by applying the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. This valuation model as well as parameter used such as volatility, exercise date and expected lifetime of the warrants are partially based on management's estimates.

a. Revenue

On July 1, 2025, BioVersys AG has entered into a global research collaboration with Shionogi & Co., Ltd. The contract is a research and exclusive license option agreement to develop novel ansamycin leads from BioVersys' BV500 program into clinical candidates. Under the agreement, Shionogi will have access to BioVersys' proprietary ansamycin platform and the BV500 program. BioVersys is eligible to receive upfront payments of CHF 1.5 million, technology access fees up to CHF 4 million, development milestone payments up to CHF 80 million and, upon exercise of the license option, sales milestones up to CHF 400 million as well as royalties on future sales. The upfront payments and the technology access fees are recorded as revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the company recognized revenue, amounting to CHF 800 thousand, relating to the Research Collaboration Agreement with Shionogi & Co., Ltd (2024: CHF 0 thousand).

The Group received grant income for research grants from different institutions, such as the Swiss Innovation Agency Innosuisse, the CF AMR Syndicate and the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). Those institutions are mainly financed by government organizations and therefore are accounted for as government grants.

The Group benefits from the research tax credit (CIR) which is the main public support mechanism for R&D in France. The tax measure makes it possible to finance R&D activities in form of a government reimbursement of part of eligible R&D expenses.

During 2025, the Group recognized government grant income (subsidies) of CHF 597 thousand under the Basel Incentive Programme (Standortförderungspaket) of the Canton Basel-Stadt, a cantonal government funding scheme supporting innovation, social and environmental measures.

Interest expense on bank loans is related to the loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the BKB loan. In the year 2025 the interest expenses for the EIB loan were CHF 933 thousand (2024: CHF 838 thousand). The BKB loan, received in April 2022, is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. We applied a market interest rate for the BKB loan, resulting in interest expenses of CHF 122 thousand for the year 2025 (2024: CHF 174 thousand). The warrants granted to the guarantors of the BKB loan are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This valuation resulted in a gain of CHF 182 thousand for the year 2025 (2024: CHF 431 thousand). For further details to the financial liabilities refer to the Note 14.

11. 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). The company classifies its share-based payments as equity-settled awards. The costs of the equity-settled payment are recognized as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (accumulated losses), over the relevant vesting period. The fair value of the instruments granted is calculated as of the grant date. The following section describes the plans, the grants for the reporting period and the prior year as well as the assumptions for the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model used in determining the fair value of these awards.

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). In 2025, the Company granted 14,331 RSUs (2024: 0). The weighted average share price at grant date amounted to CHF 34.68, while the weighted average grant date fair value was CHF 30.34 per RSU.

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. In 2025, the Company granted 26,107 PSUs (2024: 0). The weighted average share price at grant date amounted to CHF 34.66, while the weighted average grant date fair value was CHF 36.74 per PSU.

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. In 2025, the Company granted 12,969 SARs (2024: 0).

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. Each option entitles its holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a pre-defined exercise price. The number of options granted to each participant was determined by the Board of Directors based on the participant's position and level of responsibility. Unless not specified otherwise, the options generally vest quarterly over three years. Options granted to members of the Board of Directors vest over one year. The expenses are recognized pro rata as per the graded vesting schedule starting generally from grant date until vesting date. In 2025, the Company granted 0 ESOPs (2024: 66,050).

CRV Agreement:

BioVersys settles a part of the amount owed to Clinical Research Venture Partner LLC (CRV) for clinical trial services provided by its affiliated entities to the Group in preferred shares of the Company. The arrangement represents equity-settled share-based payments. The cost of services provided, and the corresponding increase in equity (accumulated losses), are measured at the fair value of the services received based on their market price. For the year ended 31 December 2025 no services (2024: CHF 204 thousand) have been accumulated and recognized as expense with a corresponding booking to equity (accumulated losses). The expense is booked over the time as services are provided. During 2025 no conversion into preferred shares took place (2024: CHF 204 thousand). At year end 2025, the recognized amount in the accumulated losses for the CRV contract is CHF 0 thousand (2024: CHF 0 thousand).

On September 23, 2024, the Company issued a put option ("NCI Put Option") to the non-controlling interest holder of BioVersys China, the investment firm Guangzhou Sino-Israel Bio-Industry Investment Fund 2 LLP ("GIBF"), providing them with the option to contribute its interest of 40% in BioVersys China to the Company in exchange for Shares at a fixed exercise price per share. The conversion amount upon exercise is denominated in RMB and therefore, the ultimate number of Shares to be issued was impacted by the RMB/CHF foreign exchange volatility. The NCI Put Option could be exercised at any time following the lapse of the contractually agreed lockup period of 24 months or within 30 days of an exit event, such as an IPO of the Company. The Company simultaneously held a call option ("Call Option") to require GIBF to contribute its interest of 40% in BioVersys China to the Company in exchange for Shares at a fixed exercise price per share. The Call Option was entered into on the same date as the NCI Put Option and had the same pricing conditions as the NCI Put Option. The Call Option could be exercised any time after three months following the closing of the agreement. The Company exercised the Call Option in December 2024.

The combination Call Option/NCI Put Option has been accounted for as a financial liability equivalent to the present value of the redemption amount upon exercise of the NCI Put Option. Any changes to this financial liability were recognized through profit or loss. As the Company had beneficial ownership of the non-controlling interests, these have been considered acquired as of September 23, 2024. The option exercise has been completed on December 23, 2024, and the non-controlling interest holder received 161,737 preference shares in the Company in exchange for its interest of 40% in BioVersys China.

Annual Report 2025 - BioVersys


Consolidated Financial Statements

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 was 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 bore an interest rate of 0.25% on its nominal amount, 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 was 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 revised the best estimate of payments and adjusted the carrying amount of 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 6d). With the lock-up period for the pre-IPO shareholders expiring on 7 August 2025, the BKB loan of CHF 4.0 million became due for repayment. This repayment was completed on 11 August 2025.

As 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 preferred shares (refer to note 15.b) at a fixed price of CHF 27.46 at any time during the term of the loan. Furthermore, in the case of no corporate transaction prior to 8 December 2031, the holders of the warrants have a right to request cash settlement of the warrants at their fair value. Due to this fact, 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 following table illustrates the assumptions for the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model used in determining the fair value of the warrants:

31 December 2025 31 December 2024
Share price CHF 24.40 CHF 32.00
Fair value of warrants CHF 6.31 CHF 7.56
Risk free interest rate 0.29% 0.12% to 0.18%
Expected term 2.57 years 1.23 years
Expected volatility 51.58% 61.92%

To secure liquidity, the Group has drawn down in the year 2021 a COVID-19 bank loan from the Zürcher Kantonalbank. The Covid-19 loan was interest-free until March 2023, bore interest at 1.50% from April 2023 to March 2025, and at 0.25% from April 2025 onward. The term of this loan is until September 2027 with a semi-annual repayment component. As long as the COVID-19 loan in Switzerland has not been fully repaid, BioVersys AG may not distribute dividends and may not make any repayments of capital contributions. In addition, there are further restrictions regarding the granting and repayment of loans to affiliated companies and shareholders.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On 27 February 2019, the Group entered into a worldwide, royalty-bearing, sublicense agreement with EXBAQ relating to BV100. The Group shall pay development and commercial milestones depending on the project progress. Furthermore, the Group is obligated to pay royalties of mid-single-digit percentage on net sales of licensed products or Rifabutin formulations in countries with a valid USC/EXBAQ claim. For the year 2025, the Group paid an annual minimum royalty of CHF 4 thousand (2024: CHF 4 thousand). Due to the uncertainties regarding the regulatory approval and/or the realization of future revenues for those projects, the Group didn't recognize any asset or liability related to this sublicense agreement in these consolidated financial statements.

The Group agreed on a loan agreement in 2021 with EIB (see Note 14). EIB and BioVersys have agreed that BioVersys shall pay a royalty fee as part of the Bank's compensation package in exchange for EIB providing the loan, being a variable compensation element under the loan agreement. BioVersys shall pay to EIB after each financial year during the royalty calculation period (10 years starting from the first payment date following the commercialization), a low single-digit percentage royalty fee determined for that financial year, based on the net sales of the projects BV100 and alpibectir. The percentage for calculating the royalties is decreasing with higher sales volume. The agreement includes a royalty buyout fee in case of a voluntary or mandatory repayment of the outstanding loan. At the reporting date no repayment of the outstanding loan amount is planned and the Group estimates the likelihood of a mandatory repayment as low. The Group didn't recognize any asset or liability related to this royalty agreement in these consolidated financial statements.

On 22 May 2023, the Group signed a license agreement with SATT NORD, acting as an agent of the University of Lille, relating to the project alpibectir. SATT NORD agreed to assign all rights to the patents to BioVersys. BioVersys is obligated to pay royalties of below one percent on net sales and low mid-single-digit percentage on sublicense income for alpibectir invoiced by BioVersys. Due to the uncertainties regarding the regulatory approval and/or the realization of future revenues for the project alpibectir, the Group didn't recognize any asset or liability related to this agreement in these consolidated financial statements.

The Group has entered into an asset purchase agreement dated as of 29 March 2019 with Melinta Therapeutics Inc. for intellectual property regarding the project BV300. Based on the agreement the Group shall pay commercial milestones of up to USD 30 million upon reaching certain aggregated sales thresholds. Due to the uncertainties whether the project BV300 will be continued, the Group didn't recognize any asset or liability related to this agreement in these consolidated financial statements.

CF AMR Syndicate awarded the Group on 22 May 2024 with funding to support the project addressing resistant non-tubercular mycobacteria (NTM) lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis. BioVersys is obligated to make a one-time milestone payment of five times the total funding amount in case the cumulative sales milestone has been achieved. Due to the uncertainties regarding regulatory approval and/or the realization of future revenues for project BV500, the Group didn't recognize any asset or liability related to this agreement in these consolidated financial statements.

In consideration of contributions from NUS to the study, the Company shall share with NUS a portion of the revenue generated from the future commercialization or other exploitation of the product under certain terms and conditions. The specific terms and conditions of such revenue sharing agreement are to be negotiated in good faith at a later date.

19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT/ FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

19.1 Overview

BioVersys is a clinical stage biotech group and focusing on researching and developing next-generation antimicrobial drugs for multidrug resistant bacterial infections. Linked to these activities and its current setup, the Group is exposed to certain financial risks, mainly liquidity risk and interest rate risk. To a smaller extent the Group is also impacted by the foreign exchange rate risk. Since the Group has no revenue from products yet, it is dependent on external financing, hence the focus of the Group's financial risk management lies on securing the liquidity to finance its R&D activities and consequently invest its cash only in highly liquid instruments and deposit it only with highly rated financial institutions.

The Group's principal financial instruments are short-term bank deposits and short- and long-term bank loans, lease liabilities, receivables, other financial assets and liabilities and cash and cash equivalents.

19.2 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity management is performed by the Group finance department based on cash flow forecasts which are prepared on a rolling basis and focus mainly on ensuring that the Group has sufficient cash to meet its operational needs. The Group's liquidity needs have been historically satisfied by raising capital through financing rounds with external investors and by receiving research grants.

The following table summarizes the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:

Liquidity risk

in CHF thousands 31.12.2025 Less than one year Over one year 31.12.2024 Less than one year Over one year

Annual Report 2025 – BioVersys


Consolidated Financial Statements

19.3 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As described in note 14, the Group has drawn down three tranches from the EIB bank loan with fixed interest rates of 6.75%, 6.50% and 6.00% respectively and maturity dates August 2027, July 2029 and December 2031 respectively. Consequently, there is no immediate interest rate change risk related to these financial instruments. The subordinated loan of CHF 4.0 million from the Basler Kantonalbank was repaid in August 2025. Any investments in marketable, fixed-income instruments are short-term and are expected to be held to maturity, therefore not bearing any material interest rate risk. Other financial instruments of the Group are not bearing interest and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk. The Group does not enter into derivatives to hedge interest rate risks.

19.4 Foreign currency risk

The Group has foreign currency exposures due to the business transactions between its subsidiaries. Additional foreign currency exposure arises on the above-mentioned EIB loan since the loan is denominated in EUR and the functional currency of BioVersys AG is CHF. Some cash and cash equivalents, receivables, current financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operations and therefore bear foreign currency risks. The Group does not enter into derivative transactions to hedge the foreign currency risk.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of possible changes in the EUR, USD and CNY exchange rate on the Group's net loss for the period and on equity.

in CHF thousands 2025 2024
Change in rate Impact on net loss for the period Impact on equity Impact on net loss for the period Impact on equity
+5% EUR (659) (659) (436) (436)

+5% CNY 204 204 264 264
-5% CNY (204) (204) (264) (264)

19.5 Credit risk

As of 31 December 2025, there is no material credit risk to the Group. The maximum exposure is the carrying amount of cash, current financial assets, prepayments and receivables. Cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets are held with financial institutions with at a minimum A ratings (Standard & Poor's long-term credit rating). There is no concentration of credit risk within the Group.

19.6 Capital management

The Group defines the capital that it manages as the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and equity. One of the main goals of the Group's capital management is to raise funds to ensure that there is enough liquidity to carry on the Group's operation, and also to ensure that the Group is not entering into an unfavorable going concern situation. Since its incorporation, the Group has primarily funded its activities through equity capital increases, loans and non-dilutive grants.

19.7 Categories of financial instruments and fair value disclosures

Except for the warrants, all financial assets and liabilities are accounted for at amortized cost. The warrants are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The following table shows the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities:

| Financial assets
in CHF thousands | 2025 | 2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Other receivables | 904 | 28 |
| Current financial assets | - | 6,000 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 82,506 | 26,619 |
| Total | 83,410 | 32,647 |
| Financial liabilities
in CHF thousands | 2025 | 2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Financial liabilities | 22,649 | 18,066 |
| Trade payables | 2,470 | 706 |
| Other current liabilities (excl. prepayments from grants) | 161 | 67 |
| Accrued expenses | 1,908 | 2,743 |
| Total | 27,188 | 21,582 |

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted funds, current financial assets, other receivables, trade and other payables and accrued expenses approximates their fair value. The financial liabilities consist of the EIB loan, Covid-19 loans, Warrants and lease liabilities. The fair value of the EIB loan CHF 21,253 thousand (level 2) and of the Covid-19 loan CHF 60 thousand (level 2) represents the nominal value including any accrued interest expenses. The warrants CHF 919 thousand (level 3) are measured at fair value and therefore there is no difference to the carrying amount.

20. EARNINGS / LOSS PER SHARE

Since the Group has net loss for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share. We have excluded from our calculation of diluted loss per share all potentially dilutive securities, as these awards would have been anti-dilutive.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition from research collaboration and license option agreement

Area of Focus The Group entered into a research collaboration and license option agreement that resulted in the recognition of revenue. The agreement includes upfront consideration and requires judgement in applying IFRS 15, in particular in identifying the goods and services, assessing whether those components are distinct, and determining the appropriate pattern of revenue recognition over the collaboration period. The collaboration phase may extend over multiple reporting periods, with revenue recognized when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Due to judgement involved, which can have a material effect on the timing and amount of revenue recognized, we considered this part of revenue recognition as a key element for our audit. Accounting policies for recognizing revenue are disclosed in notes 3b and 6a to the consolidated financial statements.
Our audit response Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the terms of the collaboration agreement and management's accounting assessment by reference to the requirements of IFRS 15. We assessed management's identification of the performance obligation and the related revenue recognition pattern over the collaboration period. We tested revenue recognized in the year by agreeing recorded amounts to the underlying contract and invoices, tracing cash receipts to supporting documentation, and recalculating the allocation and release of upfront consideration over the period as determined by management. We also assessed whether the related disclosures appropriately describe the significant judgements applied in accounting for this arrangement. Our audit procedures did not lead to any reservations concerning the recognition and measurement of revenue from research collaboration and license option agreement.

Board of Directors' responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, which give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and the provisions of Swiss law, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Revenue recognition from research collaboration and license option agreement

Area of Focus

The Group entered into a research collaboration and license option agreement that resulted in the recognition of revenue. The agreement includes upfront consideration and requires judgement in applying accounting standards, in particular in identifying the goods and services, assessing whether those components are distinct, and determining the appropriate pattern of revenue recognition over the collaboration period.

Accounting for recognizing revenue is disclosed in note 2.1 to the statutory financial statements.

Our audit response

Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the terms of the collaboration agreement and management's accounting assessment by reference to the requirements of the applicable accounting standard. We assessed management's identification of the performance obligation and the related revenue recognition pattern over the collaboration period. We tested revenue recognized in the year by agreeing recorded amounts to the underlying contract and invoices, tracing cash receipts to supporting documentation, and recalculating the allocation and release of upfront consideration over the period as determined by management. We also assessed whether the related disclosures appropriately describe the significant judgements applied in accounting for this arrangement. Our audit procedures did not lead to any reservations concerning the recognition and measurement of revenue from research collaboration and license option agreement.
