STATEMENT FROM THE CEO
After the successful divestment of the OTC portfolio and the following organizational changes, focus now lies on our pipeline projects and the topline results of the Phase 3 study in North America are expected before year end. The business is progressing as planned with a focus on the Phase 3 studies for MOB‐015, further commercialization preparations and preparations for the share redemption in November 2019.
I have worked at Moberg Pharma since the start in 2006. It is a privilege to take over the role of CEO for such a well‐managed company and I look forward to further developing the business together with our skilled employees. We have an exciting period ahead of us with a focus on the pipeline projects MOB‐015 and BUPI, whose combined potential is much greater than the divested business. At my side I have an outstanding management team, and together we have extensive experience from the company and the industry. We have also recently been joined by Dr. Amir Tavakkol, who brings unique experience in the development and registration of onychomycosis drugs in the US. In addition, we are fortunate to retain Peter Wolpert close to the business in the role of Executive Chairman who will focus on business development.
The company's resources are focused mainly on MOB‐015, where our work is progressing as planned with an emphasis on the two clinical Phase 3 studies and continuing business development. More than 95% of patients have now completed the US study, and we expect topline results in December. In the European study, the corresponding figure right now is around 60%, with topline results expected in the second quarter of 2020.
We aim to repeat the journey we took with Kerasal Nail®, where we combined direct sales in the US with collaborations with market‐leading partners in major regions. The agreements for Canada with Cipher Pharmaceuticals and for Europe with the Consumer Health division of Bayer AG, a world leader in OTC fungus treatments with the brand Canesten, is in line with this strategy and means that strong partners are already in place for important regions. Moberg Pharma is conducting the clinical programs and registration, as well as manufacturing the product, while our partners are responsible for distribution and marketing.
In the US, the emphasis this time is on the considerably larger prescription market for nail fungus treatments. We see a very interesting opportunity to build our own commercial platform to target podiatrists, with MOB‐015 as our main product and a portfolio of additional niche products. Also, we intend to collaborate with a US partner that already has an established sales force targeting dermatologists.
We look forward to the major milestones in the second half of the year, with the share repurchase and results of the Phase 3 study for MOB‐015 in North America in parallel with the continuation of the Phase 3 study in Europe and preparations for commercialization. With the data we are hoping for, we will be able to offer patients who currently lack safe and efficacious treatment alternatives the market's best topical product.
The second quarter involved transition activities related to the OTC business, a process that generates one‐off revenue and where most of the activities have now been completed. The company's previous bond loan, plus interest, was repaid in its entirety on April 29. The Annual General Meeting for the abbreviated fiscal year January – June 2019 is scheduled for October 30 and will focus on the shareholder distribution, which is estimated at SEK 43–45 per share and is expected to be paid through a share redemption in November 2019.
With SEK 919 million in cash reserves as at June 30, the company has sufficient funds to implement the share redemption as planned and finalize the clinical program for MOB‐015. Moberg Pharma 2.0 remains fully dedicated to the goal of creating the future market leader in the treatment of nail fungus.
Anna Ljung, CEO of Moberg Pharma
ABOUT MOBERG PHARMA
Moberg Pharma develops and commercializes medical products that relieve pain and skin conditions, especially nail fungus. The company is focused as of April 1, 2019 on the development and commercialization of pipeline assets with a combined annual peak sales potential of USD 350–700 million. The OTC business was divested in the first quarter of 2019 in favor of a clinical pipeline consisting of late stage drug candidates with the potential to significantly exceed the value of the divested portfolio. The divestment enabled shareholders to recognize a compelling value for both components of the business. They will receive a large distribution as planned in November 2019 while also retaining the potential in the development projects.
MOB‐015 is a next‐generation treatment of onychomycosis (nail fungus) and BUPI is a novel treatment for oral pain relief in association with inflammation and ulceration of the oral mucous membranes (oral mucositis or OM), a serious complication of cancer treatment). Both drugs have demonstrated strong Phase 2 results which indicate that they have the potential to become market leaders in their respective niches. Two parallel Phase 3 studies for MOB‐015 are underway with topline results expected in late 2019 and spring 2020, with two license agreements in place in Canada and Europe. We estimate the sales potential for MOB‐015 at USD 250–500 million, with most of the sales expected to come from the high‐priced US prescription drug market. This is in addition to BUPI, with an estimated annual sales potential of USD 100‐200 million.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
In early 2019, Moberg Pharma divested one of its two main businesses. Since April 1, 2019, Moberg Pharma has a fully funded business whose main goal is to create the future market leader in onychomycosis through the development and commercialization of MOB‐015.
THE OTC BUSINESS HAS BEEN DIVESTED
In March 2019, Moberg Pharma sold its entire OTC business to RoundTable Healthcare Partners and Signet Healthcare Partners for cash consideration of USD 155 million (SEK 1.4 billion) adjusted for working capital. The OTC business mainly comprised the marketing and distribution of the OTC brands Kerasal Nail®, New Skin® and Dermoplast® in the US.
Thanks to this divestment, we were able to realize compelling value for our shareholders and repay our bond loan, while at the same time highlighting the major upside in the remaining, fully financed business, which is focused on MOB‐015, whose potential alone substantially exceeds the value of the divested portfolio. The sale resulted in a capital gain of SEK 561 million after transactions costs – of which the effect on total profit for the period was SEK 501 million – and facilitates a distribution to shareholders planned in November 2019.
THE NEW BUSINESS'S DEVELOPMENT
In 2019, the company's development resources will mainly be focused on MOB‐015, which is currently being evaluated among more than 800 patients in two randomized, controlled Phase 3 multicenter studies in North America and Europe. More than 95% of patients have now completed the US study, and we expect topline results in December. In the European study, the corresponding figure right now is around 60%, with topline results expected in the second quarter of 2020.
The US is expected to remain Moberg Pharma's most important market going forward, this time with an emphasis on the much larger prescription market for nail fungus treatment. The commercialization plans comprise a combination of direct sales and co‐marketing with partners, for example in the US, as well as out‐licensing to other markets such as the EU, Japan, Canada and China – all with patent protection until 2032. Two attractive license agreements for MOB‐015 are already in place in Canada (Cipher) and Europe (Bayer), and we look forward to adding exciting collaborations in the future. The agreement with Bayer, with EUR 50 million in potential milestone payments in addition to payments for supplied products, was signed in the first quarter. The partnership with this leader in OTC fungal treatments indicates the significant potential of MOB‐015.
With regard to our other drug candidate, BUPI, discussions are underway with potential new partners in North America and Europe.
THE NEW COMPANY
The divestment of the OTC business represents a major change for Moberg Pharma in terms of both strategic direction and organization. Approximately half of the previous staff remain with the company, focusing on the development and commercialization of MOB‐015, while the rest have transferred to the new owners.
A new, streamlined management team consists since May 16, 2019 of four individuals: Anna Ljung (CEO), Torbjörn Wärnheim (Deputy CEO and Senior Vice President R&D), Sarah Hellerfelt (CFO) and Annica Magnusson (Senior Director Regulatory Affairs). In addition, the company has engaged Dr. Amir Tavakkol as Senior Advisor R&D, bringing unique experience in the development and registration of onychomycosis drugs in the US. Former CEO Peter Wolpert has transitioned to a role as Executive Chairman of the company.
The Annual General Meeting on May 15, 2019 re‐elected Mattias Klintemar and Andrew B. Hochman as members of the Board of Directors and elected Executive Chairman Peter Wolpert and Fredrik Granström as new Board members for a term extending until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, which will be held in the fourth quarter of 2019 due to the abbreviated fiscal year January 1 ‐ June 30, 2019. At the same time, Thomas Eklund (former Chairman of the Board), Geert Cauwenbergh, Sara Brandt and Anna Malm Bernsten resigned from their positions with the company.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
REVENUES AND PROFIT
Net sales for the continuing operations for the year amounted to SEK 15.6 million (0). Revenues reported relate to the initial EUR 1.5 million milestone received in connection with the agreement with Bayer AG.
The remaining business consists of research and development, business development and administrative functions. The majority of development expenses are directly attributable to the clinical phase‐3 studies in the development project MOB‐ 015, which are capitalized. The largest expense items in the profit for the period from continuing operations consist of business development and administration costs of SEK 15.3 million (12.7), followed by research and development costs of SEK 7.2 million (7.3). The result for the period from remaining operations also includes the provision of services related to a transitional services agreement that was part of the sale of the OTC business. Other operating income includes amounts invoiced to cover costs in accordance with the transitional services agreement.
The revenues and expenses related to the discontinued OTC business are listed as a separate item in the Group's income statement. The reported net profit for this business, including capital gains, for the year amounts to SEK 563.5 million (23.4). An income statement for the divested business is presented in Note 2.
CASHFLOW
Cashflow from operating activities amounted to SEK ‐64 (16) million for the second quarter which includes payments for transaction costs associated with the sale of the OTC business of SEK 34 million and interest payments on the bond loan, including redemption fees, of SEK 31 million. Cashflow from financing operations was SEK ‐600 million (‐1) due to redemption of the bond of SEK 600 million. Total change in cash and cash equivalents during the second quarter was SEK ‐678 M (19), of which SEK ‐665 M is related to repayment of the bond loan and transaction costs. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 919.1 million (SEK 122.2 million) at the end of the period.
INVESTMENTS
Investments in intangible assets relate predominantly to capitalized expenses for development work. The company has two late‐stage development projects that are capitalized, MOB‐015 and BUPI. The bulk of monies spent relate to MOB‐015.

LIABILITIES
On April 1, 2019, the company sent an irrevocable notification of early redemption of the bond loan of 600 MSEK and the redemption was finalized on April 29, 2019. In accordance with the terms, the Bonds were redeemed at an amount corresponding to 104.00 percent of the nominal amount, which corresponded to SEK 624 million. The cost for early redemption was recorded as a financial expense in March 2019.
In connection with the divestment of the OTC business in March 2019, the buyer provided financing for a loan (MUSD 2.5) and subscription of shares (MUSD 2.5). The \$ 2.5 million loan carries a 3‐month PIK interest rate of LIBOR + 5.50% and falls due for payment on March 31, 2023. If Moberg Pharma, before March 31, 2023, receives milestone payments, royalties or other similar payments from partners who in total, exceed an amount equivalent to \$ 10 million, plus any additional amounts received under partner agreements already entered (excluding payments received to cover fees, expenses and other expenses), Moberg Pharma shall use such excess funds to repay the loan. The nominal amount of the loan may be reduced by setting off the subscription price if the buyer chooses to exercise outstanding warrants to subscribe for common shares in Moberg Pharma. The warrants are issued without consideration and each warrant gives the holder the right to subscribe for a
common share in Moberg Pharma at a subscription price of SEK 35.16 per share. The warrants may not be exercised until the OTC dividend has taken place.
CHANGES IN EQUITY
SHARES
Share capital at the end of the period was SEK 1,817,986 (1,744,076), the total number of shares outstanding was 17,519,016 ordinary shares (17,440,762) and 660,843 Series B shares (0) with a quotient value of SEK 0.10.
As part of the sale of the OTC business, the buyer has subscribed and paid for 660,843 class B shares in Moberg Pharma at a subscription price of SEK 35.16 per share (without the right to the OTC dividend), which resulted in an increase in the total number of shares in the company from 17,703,762 to 18,364,605 after completion of the issue on April 30, 2019.
Moberg Pharma has also issued 659,421 warrants free of charge, each of which entitles the buyer to subscribe for one common share in the company at a subscription price of SEK 35.16 per share. Neither the newly issued B shares, the warrants or the shares subscribed for through the exercise of the warrants will be eligible for the OTC dividend and the warrants will not be exercisable until the OTC dividend has been paid out. After payment of the OTC dividend, the B shares will be converted into ordinary shares in the Company.
The number of repurchased own shares decreased by 36,164 in May 2019 through the accelerated earning of performance share rights to employees, as well as 42,090 shares transferred in June 2019 to cover costs incurred as a result of exercised warrants and shares transferred from employee incentive programs. Moberg Pharma holds 184,746 (263,000) repurchased own shares at the end of the period.
After the end of the period, in July 2019, the number of shares and votes has increased as a result of 488 905 ordinary shares having been added following the exercise of warrants under Moberg Pharma's share‐based compensation plans. The OTC divestment resulted in the vesting of a proportion of outstanding incentive programs pro rata based on the date of the divestment, 29 March 2019. Exercise of the warrants means that the number of shares and votes has increased by 488,905 from 18,364,605 to 18,853,510 at the time of publication of this report.
SHARE‐BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The number of instruments outstanding as at June 30, 2019 was 783,901 warrants and 80,022 performance share units. If all warrants were exercised, the total number of shares would increase by 783,901. The performance share units are issued and held in trust, where the actual number of shares that may vest range from 0% to 100% depending on share price development. Redemption price for the warrant programs varies from SEK 42.97 to SEK 65.47, and performance share units are tied to share performance from SEK 35.00.1 Where applicable, the redemption price may be subsequently adjusted in the event distributions are made. For detailed information on the share‐based compensation plans, see the 2018 Annual Report.
The following table gives an indication of the maximum levels of dilution at different levels of share price:
| Instruments granted based on strike price | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Share price | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 |
| Number of new shares due to diluting warrants | ‐ | 376,000 | 597,151 | 783,901 |
| Number of shares allocated by performance share units | 10,003 | 24,007 | 33,343 | 40,011 |

| Actual dilution from share‐based instruments 3 | 0.1% | 0.6% | 1.0% | 1.5% |
The OTC divestment triggered vesting for the proportion of the outstanding incentive programs earned. The board has approved a vesting scheme in which instruments are vested pro rata based on the closing date of the OTC divestment, March 29, 2019.

RISK FACTORS
Commercialization and development of pharmaceuticals are capital‐intensive activities exposed to significant risks. Risk factors considered of particular significance for Moberg Pharma's future development are linked to the results of clinical trials, regulatory actions, patents and trademarks, key personnel, sensitivity to economic fluctuations, future capital requirements, and financial risk factors. A description of these risks can be found in the company's 2018 Annual Report on page 21.
OUTLOOK
Moberg Pharma's goal is to create value and provide attractive shareholder returns through the successful commercialization of its pipeline assets.
In 2019, the focus is on advancing the company's phase 3 development programs and to continue commercialization preparations to maximize value and create future growth. Moberg Pharma will utilize the cash flow from the divestment of the commercial operations to provide a distribution to shareholders through a redemption of shares while retaining sufficient capital, taking into account expected revenues, to complete the ongoing Phase 3 studies for MOB‐015.
It is the view of the Board of Directors and executive management that the company has sufficient funds, taking into account the planned OTC‐dividend, to complete the ongoing clinical activities.

8 In periods when the Group reports a loss, no dilution effect arises. The reason for this is that a dilution effect is only recognized when a potential conversion to ordinary shares would result in lower earnings per share.

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES
The interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated financial statements were, like the annual accounts for 2018, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The parent company financial statements were prepared in accordance with Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, Financial Statements for Legal Entities.
Amounts are presented in Swedish kronor and rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. Rounding to the nearest thousand may mean that certain amounts do not match when added up. MSEK stands for million Swedish kronor. Amounts and figures in parentheses are comparative figures from the previous year.
NEW AND CHANGED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES TO BE APPLIED FROM 2019
As of January 1, 2019, IAS 17 was replaced by IFRS 16 Leasing. According to the new standard, most leased assets shall be recognized in the balance sheet and the lessee shall divide the cost into interest payments and depreciation of the asset. The Group has chosen to apply the modified retroactive approach to the new standard, which does not require a recalculation of comparative periods. The leasing portfolio mainly comprises leased office premises. The Group has chosen not to report short‐ term leases and leasing agreements for which the underlying asset has a low value as an asset with rights of use and leasing liabilities, respectively. As an effect of the transition, a right‐to‐use asset of SEK 15.1 million has been recognized as an asset with corresponding liabilities of SEK 15.1 million in accordance with the table below.
IFRS 16 IMPACT ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

| Current lease liability | ‐ | 2,805 | 2,805 |
| TOTAL | ‐ | 15,174 | 15,174 |
After the divestment of the commercial portfolio, the right‐of‐use assets have decreased by SEK 3.4 million and the corresponding decrease in non‐current and current lease liabilities amounts to SEK 2.7 million and SEK 0.7 million, respectively.
IFRS 16 IMPACT ON THE STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS
The transition has entailed interest expenses of SEK 0.1 million and depreciation of SEK 0.6 million during the quarter.

NOTE 2 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
.
On February 12, 2019, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement to divest its subsidiaries MPJ OTC AB and Moberg Pharma North America LLC. According to the terms of the agreement, the parent company's OTC business was transferred to the subsidiary MPJ OTC AB prior to the transaction. The divested business comprises the company's entire commercial operations and the transaction is thus reported as discontinued operations. The transaction was completed on March 29,2019 for a total cash consideration of SEK 1,432.8 million, which resulted in a net gain of SEK 561 million after transaction costs. The effect from the divestment on the total profit was SEK 501 million.

SHORTENED FINANCIAL YEAR AND DIVIDEND
In March 2019, the OTC‐business was divested for a cash consideration of USD 155 million adjusted for working capital. The company intends to use the cash consideration to, among other things, distribute approximately SEK 43–45 per ordinary share to its shareholders in 2019. Payment of the OTC dividend presupposes that the company has established the annual report for the current financial year in order for Moberg Pharma to be able to present sufficient distributable funds. In order to be able to pay the OTC dividend during 2019, the extraordinary general meeting in March 2019 decided to shorten the current financial year to the period 1 January – 30 June 2019. The payment of the OTC dividend will be subject to a decision at the Annual General Meeting for the abbreviated financial year 1 January – 30 June 2019.
Consequently, the Board of Directors intends to propose that the Annual General Meeting for the abbreviated financial year 1 January – 30 June 2019 be held on 30 October 2019, and to resolve on an extraordinary distribution to the shareholders of Moberg Pharma in the form of an automatic share redemption procedure. The purchaser of the OTC‐business will not be entitled to the distribution.
By way of the automatic share redemption procedure, each ordinary share will be split into an ordinary share and a redemption share. The redemption share will thereafter be automatically redeemed at an amount between tentatively SEK 43 and 45 per share. The redemption shares will also be admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm. Accordingly, shareholders may choose to either (a) keep their redemption shares and receive the redemption payment, or (b) sell their redemption shares on Nasdaq Stockholm, which for shareholders resident outside of Sweden may be favorable from a tax perspective. Payment for the redemption shares is expected to be disbursed by the end of November 2019.
The Board of Directors' complete proposal, as well as an information document further describing the automatic share redemption procedure, will be presented well in advance of the Annual General Meeting.
According to Moberg Pharma's current assessment, the OTC dividend is expected to amount to approximately SEK 43–45 per ordinary share in the company. However, the actual and final amount of the OTC dividend may change and depend on several factors, such as transaction costs, the receipt of expected milestone payments, anticipated investments in R&D, business development, and administrative costs to complete the MOB‐015 development program, exchange rate fluctuations and other factors affecting Moberg Pharma's financial situation at the actual time of disbursement of the OTC dividend.
