Reduction in R&D Expenditure: reduced by US$2.5 million (25%), down to US$7.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. R&D expenses primarily supported preparations for the

remestemcel-L BLA re-submission and preparations for pivotal studies for rexlemestrocel-L, as clinical trial activities for our product candidates are reduced since clinical trial recruitment and data analysis are now complete.

Continued Investment in Manufacturing: continued manufacturing activities to support the potential commercial launch for SR-aGVHD. On FDA approval US$30.4 million of remestemcel-L pre-launch inventory will be recognized on the balance sheet.

Finance Costs include US$5.0 million of non-cash expenditure for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 comprising accruing interest and borrowing costs.

Figures have been rounded.

Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation Granted by FDA for Rexlemestrocel-L in the treatment of CLBP

RMAT designation provides all the benefits of Breakthrough and Fast Track designations, including rolling review and eligibility for priority review on filing of a Biologics License Application (BLA)

Results from the trial showed that:

A single injection of rexlemestrocel-L+HA into the lumbar disc resulted in significant reduction in pain compared with saline control at 12 and 24 months across all subjects (n=404)

Pain reduction through 36 months was seen in the subset of patients using opioids at baseline (n=168) with the rexlemestrocel-L+HA group having substantially greater reduction at all time points compared with saline controls

Among patients on opioids at baseline, despite instructions to maintain existing therapies throughout the trial, at 36 months 28% who received rexlemestrocel-L+HA were not taking an opioid compared with 8% of saline treated controls

21

m e s o b l a s t

Phase 3 Trial Outcomes based on a Single Injection of Rexlemestrocel-L + HA Results in More than Three Years of Pain Reduction

Greatest pain reduction was observed in the pre-specified population of subjects with CLBP duration shorter than the baseline study median of 68 months (n=202) with significantly greater reduction (nominal p-value < 0.05) at all time points analyzed over 36 months compared with saline controls

Chronic Heart Failure (CHF): Rising Incidence and High Mortality New therapies reduce recurrent hospitalization but do not materially improve mortality or major ischemic event rates

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States[1]

Heart failure affects 6.5 million patients in the US and 26 million patients globally. As populations age, the prevalence is increasing[2]

Chronic heart failure is a progressive disease with a high mortality that approaches 50% at 5 years[2,3] and at least 75% after an initial hospitalization[4]

Patients with heart failure are also at high risk of recurrent major adverse cardiac events involving large vessels (heart attacks / strokes)
