Ocriplasmin Highlights
- Positive recommendation from FDA Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drugs Advisory Committee to support the approval of ocriplasmin for the treatment of symptomatic VMA.
- Prestigious medical journal the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) publishes the positive results from the ocriplasmin Phase III clinical trial program.
- Strategic deal with Alcon to help maximize ocriplasmin's potential outside the U.S.
Positive FDA Advisory Committee Recommendation
In July, the FDA Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drugs Advisory Committee recommended the approval of ocriplasmin for the treatment of symptomatic VMA. The Committee voted 10 to 0 that the benefits of administering ocriplasmin for the treatment of vitreomacular adhesions outweighed the potential risks.
The recommendation of the Advisory Committee will form part of the FDA's overall assessment of the ocriplasmin Biologics License Application (BLA). The FDA has assigned the ocriplasmin BLA a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of 17 October 2012.
ThromboGenics is continuing to work with the FDA as it completes its assessment of the ocriplasmin BLA. If approved, ThromboGenics plans to launch ocriplasmin in the U.S. through its own commercial organization.
Ocriplasmin Phase III Clinical Data Published in NEJM
In August 2012, the data from ThromboGenics' two Phase III clinical trials evaluating ocriplasmin for the treatment of vitreomacular traction (VMT) and macular holes were published in the prestigious peerreviewed New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). The paper highlights that a single intravitreal injection of ocriplasmin resolved VMA, related VMT and closed macular holes in significantly more patients than placebo. VMT is also referred to as symptomatic VMA.
The two multicenter, randomized, double-blind Phase III trials with ocriplasmin were conducted in the U.S. and Europe and involved 652 patients with VMA. Both studies met the primary endpoint of VMA resolution at day 28. Secondary endpoints included nonsurgical closure of a macular hole at 28 days, and improvement in visual acuity.
Alcon - Our Commercial Partner for Ocriplasmin outside the U.S.
In March, ThromboGenics signed an important strategic deal with Alcon, the global leader in eye care. Alcon will commercialize ThromboGenics' ocriplasmin outside the U.S. ThromboGenics has retained all rights to ocriplasmin in the U.S.
Under the terms of the agreement, ThromboGenics has received an up-front payment of 75 million euro. The Company is also entitled to a further 90 million euro in potential near-term milestone payments. Additional milestones could bring the total of upfront and milestones to 375 million euro. Furthermore, ThromboGenics will receive royalties on net sales of ocriplasmin that are commensurate with a product that has successfully completed Phase III development and been filed for regulatory approval. These royalties will give ThromboGenics a significant share of the economics from ocriplasmin's potential success outside the U.S.
As a further important element of the agreement, ThromboGenics will work in partnership with Alcon in launching and commercializing ocriplasmin in the five largest European markets plus Belgium. The European team that ThromboGenics is currently putting in place to support ocriplasmin will provide a foundation for the future expansion of the Company's own ophthalmology franchise.
In the Rest of the World (ROW) ocriplasmin will benefit from Alcon's unrivalled market reach. This will allow for many patients to potentially benefit from access to what could be the first pharmacological treatment option for an important sight threatening disease.
The agreement also covers the further development of ocriplasmin. ThromboGenics and Alcon will work together, and share the costs equally, to explore new potential clinical applications of the product that the companies could introduce in their respective territories.
Preparing for the Potential Launch of Ocriplasmin
In the U.S., ThromboGenics has continued to strengthen its organization ahead of its planned launch of ocriplasmin. The introduction of ocriplasmin is targeted for early 2013 if the product is approved by the FDA.
ThromboGenics has already hired its senior marketing and sales executives and regional sales management team, and is now starting the efforts to recruit a professional and diverse specialty sales team. The Company plans to recruit approximately 30 sales representatives who will call on retinal ophthalmologists and between 15-20 reimbursement specialists.
ThromboGenics is actively working on market access initiatives to ensure coverage and reimbursement for ocriplasmin with payers and for providers (doctors' offices & hospitals) following its planned launch.
In Europe and the U.S., the Company has recruited key executives in regulatory affairs, information technology, finance and corporate communications.
In Europe, ThromboGenics is making good progress with its strategic partnership with Alcon. The joint commercial and development subteams have been established and are now focused on the delivery of their near- and mid-term milestones. The European and ROW regulatory filings for ocriplasmin are progressing as planned.
Meanwhile, Alcon and ThromboGenics are building and optimizing a commercial infrastructure for the planned launch of ocriplasmin, following its potential approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the first half of 2013.
Antibody Candidates Update
TB-402 – Further Development Stopped
In June, ThromboGenics announced the top-line results from its Phase IIb trial comparing TB-402 (anti-Factor VIII antibody) with rivaroxaban (Xarelto®; Bayer), an oral anticoagulant, for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total hip replacement surgery. The study showed that the incidence of VTE was similar with both drugs, but patients receiving TB-402 had a significantly higher incidence of bleeding events. Based on these results, ThromboGenics and its partner BioInvent decided to stop further development of TB-402.
The decision to conduct this study comparing TB-402 with a potential future market leader, rivaroxaban, means that ThromboGenics does not need to invest any further resources in this project.
TB-403 – ThromboGenics Regains Rights
In June, ThromboGenics and its partner BioInvent announced that they would regain global rights to TB-403 from Roche. TB-403 was licensed to Roche in 2008. ThromboGenics and BioInvent plan to further evaluate the potential of TB-403 in certain cancer and non-cancer indications, including ophthalmology. Clinical studies with TB-403 have shown that it is safe and well tolerated. Roche's decision was due to the prioritization of resources in its clinical development portfolio.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
1. General information
ThromboGenics NV ("the Company") was incorporated on 30 May 2006 and is a limited liability company (In Dutch: naamloze vennootschap). The registered office is established at:
Gaston Geenslaan 1 3001 Leuven Belgium Tel: +32 (0)16 751 310 Fax: +32 (0)16 751 311
The company is registered in the Crossroads Databank for Enterprises under enterprise number 0881.620.924.
ThromboGenics is listed on Euronext Brussels. ThromboGenics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic medicines. The Company's lead product, ocriplasmin, has successfully completed two Phase III clinical trials for the pharmacological treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA), otherwise termed vitreomacular traction (VMT). The Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for ocriplasmin has been accepted for review in Europe and in the U.S., the FDA has accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) filing and granted it Priority Review. In July 2012, a FDA Advisory Committee issued a positive recommendation supporting the approval of ocriplasmin for the treatment of symptomatic VMA.
In March 2012, ThromboGenics signed a strategic partnership with Alcon (Novartis) for the commercialization of ocriplasmin outside the U.S. Under this agreement, ThromboGenics could receive up to a total of €375 million in up-front and milestone payments, plus an attractive level of royalties on Alcon's net sales of ocriplasmin. ThromboGenics and Alcon intend to share the costs equally of developing ocriplasmin for a number of new vitreoretinal indications.
ThromboGenics is also developing TB-403, a novel antibody therapeutic, in collaboration with BioInvent International, for cancer and non-cancer, including ophthalmic, indications.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of ThromboGenics for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (the 'Interim period') include ThromboGenics NV and its subsidiary ThromboGenics Inc and constitute the ThromboGenics NV Group. These statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 August 2012. These statements were not subjected to an audit or review by the statutory auditor.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year 2011 are available upon request to the above mentioned address or via the internet (www.thrombogenics.com/investor-information/reports-andpresentations/)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1. Basis of preparation of half-year report
This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Drawing up the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS obliges the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the notes on the latent assets and liabilities on the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and costs during the reporting period. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best estimates and judgment, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified and the effects of the revisions will be reflected in the period in which the circumstances change. The principal risks during the interim period have not materially changed from those mentioned in the financial report 2011.
All statements and information relate to the interim period unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

3. Segment information
The Group believes that the current R&D programs and the geographic areas involve similar risks and that consequently there is only one business and geographical segment according to IFRS 8.
4. Seasonality of operations
The activities of research and development within ThromboGenics are in no way seasonal.
5. Reporting entity and important events and transactions
The consolidated interim financial statements include ThromboGenics NV and its subsidiary ThromboGenics Inc, U.S.
During the interim period, there were no important changes to the reporting entity as mentioned in the annual report 2011.
6. Result of the period
During the first six months of 2012, the income of ThromboGenics amounted to 75.1 million euro, mainly coming from an upfront payment of 75 million euro from Alcon. This compares to a total income of 2.4 million euro in the first six months of 2011, which came from a milestone payment by Roche.
During the first six months of 2012, the Group had a gross profit of 71.9 million euro, which was mainly attributed to the limited costs related to the milestone payment of Alcon.
R&D expenses were 10.2 million euro during the first half year, versus 10.5 million euro in the same period in 2012. Additionally, 22.3 million euro of the costs related to the ocriplasmin development program have been capitalized partly as a result of ThromboGenics strengthening its worldwide IP position. The total amount of capitalized costs related to the ocriplasmin Phase III clinical program, MIVI-Trust, is 59.3 million euro on 30 June 2012. The tax credit was deducted from the intangible assets.
In the first half of 2012 selling and marketing expenses amounted to 4.4 million euro compared with 2.2 million euro in the corresponding period in 2011. This increase reflects the growth of the Company's commercial organization ahead of the anticipated launch of ocriplasmin.
ThromboGenics achieved a net financial income of 0.9 million euro in the first half of 2012.
ThromboGenics reported a net profit of 56.2 million euro for the first half of 2012 (1.69 euro per share) compared to 10.2 million euro net loss in the same period in 2011 (0.32 euro per share).
7. Financial position and cash flow
As of 30 June 2012, ThromboGenics had 186.1 million euro in cash and cash equivalents (inclusive 8.8 million euro investments). This compares to 96.4 million euro at 30 June 2011 (inclusive 0.8 million euro investments) and 80.4 million euro at 31 December 2011 (inclusive 22.8 million euro investments).
ThromboGenics' current cash resources will allow the Company to execute its operational plans until well after the planned launch of ocriplasmin.
At the end of the first half of 2012, the total equity of ThromboGenics was 250.4 million euro versus 118.0 million euro at the end of 2011.
8. Changes in equity
On 30 June 2012, there are 35,813,349 ordinary shares versus 32,446,757 on 31 December 2011. The increase is the effect of a capital increase by a contribution in cash and with the issue of 3,244,675 shares and the exercise of 121,917 warrants.
The share capital and the issue premium evolved as a result of the transactions listed above as follows:
| In '000 euro | Capital | Issue premium |
|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2011 | 138,351 | 91,165 |
| Capital increase by contribution in cash | 14,599 | 63,273 |
| Cost of capital increase | -2,772 | 0 |
| Capital increase – exercising warrants May 2012 | 549 | 835 |
