ABOUT EXOPHARM

Exopharm (ASX:EX1) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company using exosomes to deliver a new class of transformative medicines funded with near-term revenue generated via partnerships and technology licensing.

As nature’s delivery platform for DNA, RNA, and proteins, exosomes are highly differentiated from synthetic drug delivery systems such as lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The drug delivery industry is growing at an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% and currently valued at around US$175 billion.

Exosomes are an alternative means of drug delivery inside the body, alongside technologies such as lipid nanoparticles (LNP), cell penetrating peptides, viral vectors and liposomes. In some uses, exosomes have superiority, including delivering DNA and other medicines into the nucleus of the cell, as is required for the rapidly advancing gene therapy market.

Exopharm’s LEAP technologies solve the challenge of purifying clinical-grade exosomes at large scale and low cost.

Exopharm also has two exclusive proprietary technologies that allow advanced customisation of exosomes – the LOAD technologies improve loading of active ingredients (e.g. DNA, RNA, small molecules and proteins) into exosomes and the EVPS technologies allow exosomes to be directed towards selected cell types.

Exopharm uses variations and combinations of LOAD and EVPS to enable its biopharma partners to improve delivery of their drug candidates and help them design and test new exosome medicines aimed at treating a wide scope of medical problems including neurological disease, infectious disease, cancer, and fibrosis.

These events are, as at the date of this announcement, expected to take place, but there cannot be any guarantee that such events will occur as anticipated or at all given that many of the events are outside of Exopharm’s control or subject to the success of the Development Program. Furthermore, the Company is subject to several risks as disclosed in the Prospectus dated 6 November 2018.
