Investor Presentation

Philadelphia PA and Sydney Australia, 9 April 2018 : Medical dermatology company Botanix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX:BOT, “Botanix” or the “Company”) is pleased to release an updated investor presentation to be used in meetings with investors and brokers as part of a non-deal roadshow across Australia in the coming weeks.

About Botanix Pharmaceuticals

Botanix Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage medical dermatology company, which is dedicated to developing next generation therapeutics for the treatment of serious skin diseases. Our mission is to improve the lives of patients battling acne, atopic dermatitis and other skin diseases, by providing new treatment options for conditions that currently are inadequately addressed, or are treated with therapeutics that are burdened with side effects profiles. Botanix is harnessing the potential of a synthetic form of a natural compound, which has a well-established safety profile and has been studied successfully in a range of other therapeutic areas. Botanix has now successfully completed its first acne patient studies with BTX 1503 and is preparing for a Phase 2 study in Q2 2018, while concurrently completing a Phase 1b study for BTX 1204 in atopic dermatitis patients. The Company has an exclusive license to use a proprietary drug delivery system (Permetrex[TM] ) for direct skin delivery of active pharmaceuticals in all skin diseases and plans to progress the development of BTX 1503, BTX 1204 and its pipeline of other Permetrex[TM ] enabled products alone, or in collaboration with partners.

Permetrex™ opportunities

Range of opportunities to utilise Permetrex™ technology for internal product development and partnered programs

Early collaborations leading to license discussions

  • Botanix is working with multiple parties to test application of Permetrex™ to solve formulation problems

  • Engagement generally starts as fee-for-service by Botanix

  • License trigger is generally successful proof of concept human study

  • Traditional license structure likely (upfront payments, milestones, royalties)

Other pipeline products can be developed

  • Due to the safety and growing efficacy data for Permetrex™, new pipeline products can be added without repeating pre-clinical safety
