Significant events during the fourth quarter (Oct-Dec) 2019

• Lilian Wikström Ph.D. resigned from the Board of Directors of IBT due to the risk of conflict of interest that has arisen in her role as CEO of KI Innovations AB

Significant events during the reporting period (Jan-Dec) 2019

  • IBT signed its first distribution agreement on March 5, 2019, for its product IBP-9414, with MegaPharm Ltd. for the Israeli market and the Palestinian Authority's territories. The agreement gives MegaPharm exclusive rights to market and sell the product, if and when the product receives market approval in Israel and Palestine. IBT's share will, after an initial shorter period, account for 70% of revenues. IBT plans to open clinical trial centers for the pivotal phase III trial in the country. MegaPharm is already participating in this work as it is essential to engage "key opinion leaders" in the marketing of the product
  • On May 19, 2019, it was announced that IBT had responded satisfactorily to the comments that the FDA had regarding the study design. As a consequence of the FDA's comments, an evaluation of the effects of IBP-9414 on the digestive system of premature infants in the forthcoming phase III study is now planned, as a serious medical problem for premature infants is that they cannot take up nourishment in an adequate way. The prior focus was solely prevention of NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) that, in itself, is a terrible intestinal disease affecting premature infants and too often leads to fatal outcomes. Including another indication means having multiple independent endpoints which may increase the chances of success in the study and thus the market potential
  • IBT's IND (Investigational New Drug) application was approved in the USA and the clinical study has also been approved in the UK, France, Hungary and Spain
  • IBT announced on July 4, 2019 that the first patient had been recruited in the company's pivotal clinical phase III study, The Connection Study

Significant events after the reporting period

  • IBT's clinical study application was approved in Israel at the end of January 2020
  • No other significant events have occurred after the reporting period

IBT in brief

Infant Bacterial Therapeutics AB ("IBT") is a public company domiciled in Stockholm. The company's Class B shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Mid-cap (IBT B).

Infant Bacterial Therapeutics AB (publ) is a pharmaceutical company with a product in clinical stage with a vision to develop drugs influencing the infant microbiome, and thereby prevent or treat rare diseases affecting infants.

IBT is currently developing the drug candidate IBP-9414, for the prevention of necrotizing enterocolitis ("NEC") and improvement of so called feeding tolerance in premature infants. IBP-9414 contains the active compound Lactobacillus reuteri, which is a human bacterial strain naturally present in breast milk. The product portfolio also includes another project, IBP-1016, for the treatment of gastroschisis, a severe and rare disease affecting infants. By developing these drugs, IBT has the potential to fulfill unmet needs for diseases where there are currently no prevention or treatment therapies available.

Message from the CEO

IBT's ongoing clinical phase III study with IBP-9414 has, as of the date of this year-end report, conducted patient recruitment for more than seven months. We have, as previously communicated, the approval to conduct the study in France, Spain, the U.K., Hungary and the U.S. At the end of January 2020 our phase III study with IBP-9414 was also approved in Israel. This means that the regulatory process regarding trial approval may be concluded as we have received approval in every country we plan to conduct the study.

IBT expected the recruitment rate in the phase III study to approximate the rate noted during our concluded phase II study, and as previously communicated in the most recent financial report, we were not satisfied with the rate of recruitment. There have been a number of practical reasons, including misunderstandings regarding interpretation of an exclusion criteria, which precluded doctors from including patients in the study. This was addressed during the autumn.

We have focused our work on improving the recruitment rate in the study and IBT has visited nearly all open centers. We are now able to conclude that we can achieve similar recruitment rate as we achieved during the phase II study at centers which have initiated recruitment.

As of the date of this report 51 of a total of 100 planned centers have been contracted and we are working intensively to initiate more. Since the previous interim report we have further strengthened our clinical department at IBT in order to ensure that the "best practice" is spread from the top recruiting centers to others.

During January 2020, IBT strengthened its organization by recruiting a senior clinical project manager and a senior CMC ("Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls") specialist in order to satisfy the long-term supply for the market as well as the study material for the ongoing study.

The study is double blinded which means that we are not able to make observations regarding efficacy in our pharmaceutical candidate yet. However, we can observe important factors relevant for conducting the study. Firstly, we note that the relevant infants are recruited to the study which means that the infants meet the specific inclusion criteria. Secondly, we note that systems managing side effects, patient allocation and independent assessment of X-rays of NEC are conducted as planned. This means that the study is operationally progressing as expected.

Our ongoing study is randomized, double blinded and placebo controlled to assess safety and efficacy of IBP-9414 for prevention of of necrotizing enterocolitis ("NEC"), and also includes other important clinical effect parameters in feeding premature infants comprising so called feeding tolerance, thus comprising multiple endpoints. Hopefully the results from the study will show that our product will both reduce the risk that infants develop NEC, and additionally, that infants will be able to absorb nutrition better.

I also wish to state that IBT's liquidity is adequate to conduct the ongoing clinical phase III study in spite of the fact that the initial recruitment rate of the study did not meet our expectation. IBT's qualified team is working in a dedicated and focused manner with all vital details which are so important in order to reach our recruitment goals.

Stockholm, February 11, 2020

Staffan Strömberg, Chief Executive Officer

Description of IBT's development project IBP-9414

The development plan for IBP-9414 is to conduct a clinical program consisting of two clinical trials, the completed safety and tolerability study, followed by the ongoing pivotal phase III study, "The Connection Study". The safety and tolerability study was concluded as planned during the fourth quarter of 2017. The following pivotal phase III study, The Connection Study, was initiated on July 4, 2019.

The first study was a multicenter, randomized, double blind, parallel-group, dose escalation placebocontrolled study to investigate the safety and tolerability of IBP-9414 administered in preterm infants. This study included 120 preterm infants (prior to gestation week 32 with birth-weight ranging from 500 to 2 000 grams) randomized for treatment with IBP-9414 or placebo. The initial dose of the product was administered within 48 hours after birth and continued daily for a 14-day period and evaluated at intervals for up to six months post administration. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate safety and tolerability. The study was completed according to plan in the fourth quarter 2017 demonstrated that IBP-9414 was safe and tolerated by premature infants with birth-weight ranging from 500 to 2 000 grams, that they were well exposed to the study medicine, and that there were no indications of cross contamination of IBP-9414 in the preterm infants treated with placebo.

The ongoing pivotal phase III study will be designed to show and document the effect of IBP-9414 compared to placebo for the prevention of NEC and improvement of so called feeding tolerance in premature infants with birth weights of 1 500g or less. This study will also include safety evaluation.

Risks and uncertainties

The value of the Company is largely dependent on success in the Company's development of IBP-9414, the successful completion of clinical trials and the grant of marketing authorization by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and/or the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"). IBT has not yet concluded any clinical development of any pharmaceutical and there is a risk that IBP-9414 will not demonstrate the required effect. If the development on IBP-9414 is unsuccessful, IBT may try to focus on other projects but there is a risk that such projects will not be successful.

Financial risk management

A predominant share of IBT's development costs are commitments in foreign currencies.

Currency risk is the risk that the value of assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. Should the SEK depreciate versus the specific currency, it could have a significant impact on the Company's financial position and results. The currencies against which IBT has the greatest exposure are USD and EUR.

The company has entered into currency hedging (see Note 2 and 3).

IBT has during 2017 and 2018 generated approximately SEK 528m after transaction costs by new share issues. The capital generated is deemed sufficient to conduct the planned pivotal phase III clinical study, and operational costs until application for market approval.

For further information on risks and uncertainties please refer to IBT's Annual Report 2018 and IBT's Rights Issue Prospectus dated January 10, 2018 on the Company's homepage http://www.ibtherapeutics.com/ .
