STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

1. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS

  1. Percheron Therapeutics Limited (‘Percheron’ or the ‘Company’) has received a notice from Powerhouse Ventures Limited (ASX: PVL) (‘Powerhouse’) under section 249D of the Corporations Act proposing resolutions that, if passed at a General Meeting, would result in all the current Directors being replaced with Powerhouse nominees.

  2. The proposal would see Powerhouse gain absolute control of the Company’s assets, including its cash reserves of $17.6 million (as at 31 December 2024).

  3. Powerhouse has provided shareholders with no concrete detail on what its proposed directors would do differently from the current Directors. However, in discussions with the Percheron Board, Powerhouse has described a model where they would direct the Company to ‘invest’ its capital in other companies and projects that Powerhouse would nominate. The Percheron Board considers this strategy unlikely to provide an optimal outcome for Percheron shareholders.

  4. The Board recognises that the negative outcome of the phase IIb trial of ATL1102 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy has been a profoundly disappointing experience for all Percheron’s stakeholders. The Directors are determined to rebuild shareholder value, and that means charting a new course for the Company.

  5. To that end, the Percheron Board has identified a specific asset that it proposes to in-license. The asset, which is clinic-ready, addresses a neurological illness with very high unmet clinical need. The Board believes that Percheron can generate meaningful catalysts with current funds on hand. Comparative companies are generally well-valued in the market, suggesting considerable potential upside for Percheron shareholders.

  6. In the meantime, the Directors are ‘walking the talk’. They have bought a considerable amount of stock in the open market to signal their support of Percheron and now hold more than 4% of the issued share capital. The CEO has offered, and the Board has agreed, to defer 50% of his salary through this transitional period, and certain Director fees have been similarly deferred. The Company’s cost base has been substantially reduced.

  7. Percheron is well-positioned to recover from the events of the past few months, but it will only do so with the continued support of its shareholders. You are faced again with a critical choice as to the Company’s future. Please vote AGAINST the resolutions proposed by Powerhouse and, in so doing, for a prosperous and successful future for your Company.

STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

2. LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Dear Shareholder,

It is extremely regrettable that Percheron and its shareholders must once again confront a hostile attempt to take over control of the Company. Powerhouse, a microcap listed fund based in Brisbane, has called for a General Meeting of the Company’s members to remove all three of the existing Directors, Dr Charmaine Gittleson, Dr Gil Price, and Dr James Garner, and to replace them with three directors of their own, Mr Doran Eldar, Mr Julian Chick, and Mr David Hammersley.

Shareholders have already made their wishes clear in the General Meeting of 4 March 2025, in which all resolutions to remove Directors failed

We are truly sorry that shareholders are being subjected to this unwelcome distraction for the second time. You have made your wishes clear, in the General Meeting that was held on 4 March 2025, that you wish to see the current Board given the opportunity to deliver on the strategy it has laid out for the Company. Unfortunately, Powerhouse has failed to listen to that message. As a consequence, we must ask you one more time to come to the defence of the Company.

We were prepared to believe that the previous General Meeting requisition, in which Mr Gennadi Koutchin and Mr Gregory Peters were unsuccessful in their attempt to seize control of the Board, was born out of the shock and disappointment that we all experienced following the negative read-out of the phase IIb study of ATL1102 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It is impossible to extend the same benefit of the doubt to this new attempt by Powerhouse.

Powerhouse proposal would result in a Board composed entirely of their appointees

Its holding in the Company has been largely accumulated since the trial result was announced, and it seems clear that this is an opportunistic and profoundly cynical attempt to take advantage of the Company’s temporarily weakened state. Its proposal would result in the entire Board being composed of Powerhouse’s own appointees, despite them holding only 10% of the stock, with no representation for the remaining shareholders who hold the other 90% of the shares.

If Powerhouse wishes to take control of Percheron’s assets, including its substantial cash reserves, we believe that it should put a fair and reasonable offer to shareholders for their consideration. As a Board, we would consider it in good faith and put it to you for your consideration. However, for Powerhouse to attempt a takeover by stealth, by seizing control of the Company’s Board, is deeply disrespectful of shareholders’ rights and interests.

Since the trial result was announced on 18 December 2024, we have made very good progress in rebuilding the Company. The data from the trial has been exhaustively analysed and was presented to investors on 6 February 2025. It showed that the trial was well-designed and well-

conducted, and that ATL1102 was simply not potent enough to change the outcome in a very aggressive disease such as Duchenne.

Percheron has submitted an offer for a compelling new asset and is in detailed confidential negotiations

Recognising that Percheron would not be investable with ATL1102 as its centrepiece, the Board stepped up already ongoing efforts to in-license one or more new assets. To this end, we have submitted a non-binding offer on a program that we think represents a compelling opportunity for the Company’s shareholders, and we continue to advance negotiations as rapidly as possible, despite the disruption caused by Powerhouse.

This General Meeting will, in effect, ask what kind of company you want Percheron to be. Our vision for the Company is simple. We want to deliver impactful new medicines to patients confronting devastating illness and, in doing so, we want to restore and increase the value of your investment in the Company. We ask you again to give us the opportunity to complete these turnaround efforts.

Percheron Directors have bought on market in support of the stock

We are not just talk – we have backed ourselves to the extent of having invested hundreds of thousands of dollars of our own funds in Percheron. We are determined to demonstrate to you that we have the capability and the tenacity to make the Company a stronger business than it ever was. To that end, we implore you to vote AGAINST all resolutions put forward at this meeting . Every vote counts, no matter how large or small your holding, so please make sure that your voice is heard.

We thank you in advance for your ongoing support.

Yours faithfully,

STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

3. BACKGROUND

1. Powerhouse Ventures Limited

The Powerhouse website describes the company as a “high conviction, speciality investment house, with an expanding range of funds, management products, advisory and capital syndication services, and investor relations support.”[1]

Powerhouse is, by any standard of reckoning, a small operation. As of 28 Powerhouse is February 2025, its market capitalisation on the ASX is $13.0 million. By approximately the same size as Percheron contrast, Percheron, even after the decrease in share price associated with the negative read-out of the ATL1102 phase II study, was valued at $12.0 million at the same date. If Powerhouse were to gain control of the Percheron Board, it would effectively double the combined size of its enterprise, when measured by market capitalisation.

Powerhouse emphasises its capabilities in corporate advisory and investor relations, but the market attributes no meaningful value to these operations. As at 31 December 2024, which is the most recent date for which financial reports are available, the company’s net tangible assets (NTA) per share were valued at 10.4 cents.[2] On the same day, the company’s share price closed at 9.4 cents. This implies that investors attribute negative value to Powerhouse itself, in the approximate amount of minus 1.0 cent per share. If the company were to simply distribute its net tangible assets to shareholders, they would be worth more in their hands than they are in the hands of Powerhouse.

Powerhouse reported only
~$2 million of cash at 31
December, versus $17.6
million at Percheron
At the same reporting date, Powerhouse had only $2.05 million of cash at
the bank. It is easy to imagine how attractive Percheron’s cash reserves
of $17.6 million must seem. In the December quarter, Powerhouse
reported just $231 thousand of free cash fow. Were Powerhouse simply
to put Percheron’s $17.6 million in the bank at a 5% interest rate, it would
increase its free cash fow approximately fve-fold.

Over the three-year period to 28 February 2025, the price of Powerhouse shares are Powerhouse’s shares on the Australian Securities Exchange decreased essentially flat over the from $0.096 to $0.095. By contrast, the S&P ASX200 index has increased past three years over the same period by 14.9%. A shareholder in Powerhouse would have been around 15% better off over the last three years if they had simply invested their money in a passive index-tracking fund. A shareholder in Percheron, meanwhile, may reasonably ask why they should believe that Powerhouse would build sustainable long-term shareholder value in this company when they have not yet demonstrated such an ability in their own.

PERCHERON THERAPEUTICS LIMITED

STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Powerhouse is not a specialist life sciences investor, nor does it appear to invest primarily in public companies. Its most recent AGM presentation mentions a number of investments, including Skykraft Pty Ltd (“space enabled air traffic management”), RegenCo Pty Ltd (“helping landholders diversify their revenue streams through the creation and sale of carbon credits”), Inhibit Coatings Pty Ltd (“using smart chemistry to permanently bind antimicrobial silver to materials”), Cirrus Materials Science (“advanced coatings to reduce cost and drive performance”), and Quantum Brilliance Pty Ltd (“room temperature diamond quantum accelerators”).[3] Of the investments listed, only Ferronova Pty Ltd is in the healthcare space, and its business is focused on a diagnostic imaging product, which is a very different endeavour to drug development. Put simply, Powerhouse does not have demonstrable in-house expertise in the type of business to which Percheron belongs.

Powerhouse’s investment model relies in part on securing fee income from portfolio companies

However, Powerhouse is not an entirely conventional investor, in the sense that its investment returns do not necessarily derive from an increase in the value of its investments. Rather, the business model of Powerhouse includes what it refers to as ‘active sponsorship’, in which the fund extracts advisory and other fees from its portfolio companies. In a strictly financial sense, this is advantageous to Powerhouse (since it receives a greater return) but may be disadvantageous to all other shareholders (since the fees either dilute their holding, if in equity, or draw down the capital they have invested, if in cash). Some examples of such transactions include:

Invested $200,000 in US-based

PVL receives $110,000 in fees6

Powerhouse’s ‘active sponsorship’ has not been of benefit to at least one of these investments. On 26 February 2026, Site Group International (ASX: SIT) went into a voluntary suspension of trading on ASX, which a subsequent announcement explained was due to the risk that penalties imposed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) may be as much as tenfold higher than the $1.1 million provisioned in their accounts.[7] On 3 March 2025, the company’s securities were again suspended from trading by ASX under Listing Rule 17.5 after it failed to lodge a half-year report.

2. Summary of Percheron’s Discussions with Powerhouse

In January 2025, Dr Gittleson and Dr Garner met with Powerhouse in Brisbane. In attendance at the meeting were James Kruger, Chair of the Board at Powerhouse, David McNamee, the fund manager at Powerhouse with responsibility for its investment in Percheron, and Doron Eldar, a non-executive director at Powerhouse.

At this first meeting, the Powerhouse directors indicated an interest in working with the Percheron Board to rebuild the Company. They advocated a different business model which entailed Percheron, under the oversight of Powerhouse, deploying its cash reserves to make small investments across multiple companies in the global healthcare sector.

Powerhouse have been attempting to secure influence over Percheron Board since early January

However, Powerhouse’s true intent soon became apparent when they indicated a desire to control the Percheron Board. They demanded the immediate appointment of a director of their choice, nominating Mr Elder for this purpose. They began referring to a ‘supervisory committee’ or ‘investment committee,’ which would sit over the Percheron Board, and which would direct it in investing the Company’s funds in other entities.

While concerned about the model proposed, Dr Gittleson and Dr Garner, acting in good faith, requested a follow up meeting with Mr Kruger, Mr McNamee, and Mr Eldar in the hope of obtaining more concrete detail around the Powerhouse proposal. A videoconference was held in February 2025 with Mr Kruger only participating for the first half an hour.

The Percheron Directors described the Board’s strategy to in-licence a new asset with the potential to create a pipeline and stated that, in the absence of a detailed proposal from Powerhouse, the Board considered it was the best way to restore shareholder value. Mr McNamee indicated his opposition to this approach and proffered that Percheron was “one of the richest shells on the ASX.”

Powerhouse have advocated that Percheron invest its cash reserves in companies that Powerhouse would nominate

Mr McNamee and Mr Eldar expanded on their vision for Percheron in which the Company would largely cease the business of drug development and would instead invest its cash reserves in other businesses chosen by Powerhouse’s appointed investment committee, with Percheron paying consulting fees to Powerhouse. In addition, Powerhouse would receive corporate advisory fees and capital raising fees from the various entities in which Percheron invested. Mr Eldar also stressed the significant fees that could be made from convertible notes, although these fees would presumably accrue primarily to Powerhouse. The Powerhouse team described their model idiosyncratically as ‘merchant banking’.

In considering the points put forward by Powerhouse, the Percheron Board raised a number of concerns with the proposed business model:

Page 7 of 21

PERCHERON THERAPEUTICS LIMITED STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Percheron Board does not believe that Powerhouse’s proposed model would be in the interests of Percheron shareholders

  1. Since the Company was a drug development business, not an investment business, and given that the ‘investment committee’ would effectively represent a group of ‘shadow directors,’ the model would likely fall short of the corporate governance standards expected by Percheron’s many stakeholders.

  2. The very limited detail provided by Powerhouse did not make clear how the model would generate value for Percheron shareholders, given that any such investments would be (a) small, (b) unlikely to secure control or even influence over the target companies, (c) illiquid, and (d) unlikely to generate any near-term return. Neither Mr Eldar nor Mr McNamee could elaborate on this to reassure the Percheron board, other than referring obliquely to Mr Eldar’s prior experience in the healthcare sector.

  3. The model presented lacked sufficient detail to determine its merit and allow the Percheron board to deliver on its fiduciary duty to shareholders.

Dr Gittleson stressed that Percheron could not reasonably pursue such a major change to the Company’s business activities without a compelling business plan, and without being satisfied that any such change was in the best interests of shareholders. She requested the Powerhouse attendees provide documents to the Company to better explain their proposed business model, to which Powerhouse agreed.

Despite undertaking to provide more detailed proposals, Powerhouse launched an attempt to take over the Percheron Board

Unfortunately, no such documents were provided and on 21 February 2025, Percheron received a notice from Powerhouse under section 203D of the Corporations Act, in which Powerhouse put forward proposed resolutions for the removal of Directors at a proposed General Meeting of shareholders.

Mr McNamee subsequently clarified that Powerhouse elected to take this route as their primary concern was that Percheron would in-license a new asset and would rebuild itself as a drug development business.

During the initial conversations held between the two companies in January and February, Powerhouse declared their support for Dr Gittleson and Dr Garner but advised that they desired to remove Dr Gil Price from the Percheron Board, a point with which the other Directors did not agree.

Powerhouse threatened to vote tactically in the Koutchin-Peters General Meeting if their demands were not met

This position then changed, and Mr McNamee stated that the support of Powerhouse in the Koutchin-Peters General Meeting may be dependent on Powerhouse installing one or more of their own directors on the Percheron Board. The Company responded that it would consider any proposed director on their merits, and on their ability to further the interests of all shareholders, but they would not be ‘strong-armed’ into appointing a director and that, if necessary, the Company would fight – and win – the Koutchin-Peters General Meeting without the support of Powerhouse.

Page 8 of 21

PERCHERON THERAPEUTICS LIMITED STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In a subsequent telephone discussion with Dr Gittleson, Mr McNamee stated that Powerhouse intended to vote tactically in the upcoming Peters-Koutchin General Meeting to selectively remove Dr Gittleson and Dr Garner, leaving the Company with an insufficient Board, onto which it would then advocate to have its chosen directors immediately appointed.

Despite Powerhouse voting to remove Dr Gittleson and Dr Garner at the Koutchin-Peters General Meetings, a majority of shareholders opposed them

This was indeed their voting. In the Peters-Koutchin General Meeting in March 2025, Powerhouse voted to remove Dr Gittleson and Dr Garner, and abstained on the appointment of Mr Peters and Mr Koutchin. A number of recent new shareholders, some utilising nominee accounts, voted in the same manner as Powerhouse. Nevertheless, the support of other shareholders was such that all resolutions at that General Meeting were not carried.

In summary, Powerhouse’s position, as it has been presented to the Percheron Board over the past several months, has been inconsistent and incomplete. At no stage has Powerhouse mentioned the concerns raised in their formal statement that is included with the notice of meeting. Rather, their focus has been on ways to gain control of Percheron and its cash reserves. It is the belief of the Percheron Board that, were they to do so, they would use the Company’s cash and corporate shell to support a variety of transactions that would generate fee income for Powerhouse. While such an outcome may be advantageous to Powerhouse, the Percheron Board does not believe that it would be in the interests of Percheron shareholders.

STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

4. RESPONSE TO THE STATEMENT BY POWERHOUSE VENTURES

The statement by Powerhouse under section 249P of the Corporations Act is included in the Notice of Meeting, and all shareholders are encouraged to read it carefully. The Directors make the following comments and observations.

1. Corrections to Factual Errors in Powerhouse’s Statement

“While the current board and management team were appropriate to preside over the trials and rollout of the ATL1102 asset, it is now the case, given the trail’s [ sic ] failure, that we no longer believe they are the right team to take the company into its next phase.”

This is disingenuous.

Powerhouse bought the majority of its holding after announcement of the negative ATL1102 trial result

Of the 110 million shares registered to Powerhouse as at 28 February 2025, approximately 90% were purchased after the announcement of the ATL1102 phase 2B trial data on 18 December 2024. Why did Powerhouse buy more than a million dollars of stock in Percheron if they believed that the Board and management of the Company were not the right team to oversee the Company? It is hard to avoid the conclusion that their accumulation of shares has been motivated entirely by a desire to take control of the Company’s assets.

“…management have benefited from above-market remuneration…”

This is not true.

Percheron benchmarks compensation objectively and is precisely in line with market

Percheron benchmarks compensation of its Directors and executives against a fixed group of sixteen comparable companies, being prerevenue, small-cap Australian biotech businesses. For example, in FY2024, the median salary for the Chief Executive Officers of those businesses was $475,000. For FY2024, Dr Garner’s salary was $475,000.

Moreover, Dr Garner has voluntarily agreed to defer 50% of his salary while the Company is going through this transitional period. Dr Gittleson and Dr Price have also agreed to defer certain Board fees on a similar basis.

“…without a clear asset or strategy…”

This is not true.

The Board has carefully outlined its strategy to shareholders, including in its announcements to ASX of 6 January 2025,[8] 31 January 2025,[9] 12

8 PER Announcement to ASX of 6 January 2025

9 PER Announcement to ASX of 31 January 2025

Page 10 of 21

PERCHERON THERAPEUTICS LIMITED STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

February 2025,[10] 19 February 2025,[11] and 24 February 2025,[12] as well as in various investor webinars, video interview segments, and other channels. The Board’s strategy is covered in detail elsewhere in this document.

“Without any meaningful personal shareholdings…”

This is not true.

Percheron directors hold ~48 million shares

In aggregate, the three current Directors hold approximately 48 million shares of the Company’s stock, representing approximately 4.5% of the issued share capital. Every share has been purchased out-of-pocket, either on market or in capital raisings, and not a single share has been awarded by way of compensation for services. In aggregate, the current Directors have invested in excess of $730,000 of their personal capital in the Company over their tenure.

“There is no history or emotional baggage relating to PER with the incoming directors…”

This is misleading.

For one thing, there is very little history or emotional baggage relating to Percheron with the current Directors. Each has joined the Board of the Company comparatively recently: Dr Gittleson in March 2021, Dr Price in October 2021, and Dr Garner in May 2023.

For another thing, at least one of Powerhouse’s proposed directors is not a stranger to the Company. In late 2024, the Board explored the possibility of offering Mr Julian Chick a seat on the Board. He declined further consideration, pending the phase IIb clinical trial read-out. In January 2025, after Dr Gittleson’s discussions with Mr McNamee, Mr Chick was again approached in regard to a Board position, since Powerhouse had indicated that it may support him as a director. He again declined, stating that Powerhouse were “the bottom-feeders of the ASX” and advised the current Directors to “run a mile.”

2. Observations on Powerhouse’s Proposed Directors

The statement by Powerhouse claims that the three proposed candidates “possess a strong skill set and track record in biotechnology, investing and capital markets.” Percheron shareholders should examine that track record closely.

Doron Eldar

According to his LinkedIn profile, Mr Eldar is currently a director of five private companies (Electriq~Global, Xerient Pharma, BIGVU Video Marketing, BridgerPay, and Livia) and two public companies (Powerhouse and Dotz Nano Limited (ASX: DTZ)). He is also a partner in two venture capital funds (SIBF and Oxen9). According to many standards of corporate governance, Mr Eldar would be considered ‘overboarded’ and, were he to be elected to Percheron’s Board, it would be his eighth concurrent board role. How much of his attention would be devoted to rebuilding the Company?

Although Mr Eldar claims experience in the healthcare sector by virtue of these appointments, that experience is not in drug development. Xerient Pharma is developing a radiotherapeutic product in pancreatic cancer, while Livia is a device company developing TENS machines for menstrual cramps. Mr Eldar has no direct experience with the business in which Percheron is engaged.

Despite his large roster of directorships, Mr Eldar’s experience as a public company director is also limited. Aside from Powerhouse itself, to whose Board he was appointed in late 2024, it appears that Dotz Nano Limited is the only ASX-listed company on whose Board he has served. The three-year stock price performance of DTZ is shown below:

Richard Hammersley

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, Mr Hammersley has not previously served as a public company director and appears to be largely retired. As noted in Powerhouse’s statement, he was previously the fund manager for the Endeavour Asset Management ‘high conviction portfolio’, for an eight-year period to October 2023. The performance of the fund over the entirety of this period, compared to the ASX All Ordinaries and rebased to zero as at 31 October 2015, is shown below.

Mr Chick’s resignation from Cann Group was announced on 10 February 2025.[13] The announcement states that “…his full-time executive role at ReNerve Limited has expanded considerably and requires frequent international travel, such that he does not have the capacity to dedicate to the role of Chair at Cann at the present time.” Percheron shareholders may therefore again ask how much time Mr Chick realistically plans to spend on rebuilding their company and may only hope that he would find

his responsibilities at Percheron less onerous than those on the Board from which he so recently resigned.

Mr Chick’s early biotech career was spent as Avexa Limited (ASX: AVX), a company focused on developing new therapies for HIV infection. Mr Chick’s mentor at Avexa was Robert Moses, Chair of the Board, who will be known to longstanding Percheron shareholders as a former Chair of Antisense Therapeutics. After the failure of Avexa, it first became Novita Healthcare and the corporate shell is now in use by Tali Digital, a digital healthcare company.

Robert Moses (L) and Julian Chick (R) at Avexa Limited

Mr Chick’s recent tenure at Cann Group Limited did not yield value for shareholders of that company. After becoming Chairman in August 2023,[14] the company took on significant debt. Borrowings increased from $61 million as at 30 June 2023[15] to $70.9 million by 31 December 2024.[16] Under Mr Chick’s chairmanship, the company executed a $2 million convertible note facility with Obsidian Global GP, LLC,[17] the subsequent conversions of which in June 2024[18] and September 2024[19] caused significant dilution to shareholders. Meanwhile the company was sued by one of its former suppliers[20] and, separately, was suspended from quotation on the Australian Securities Exchange from 1 March 2024[21] to 3 June 2024,[22] due to its auditors being unable to express a conclusion as to whether the business could continue as a going concern.[23]

3. Unanticipated Consequences of Powerhouse’s Attempt to Control the Company

Percheron shareholders have no direct visibility to Powerhouse’s plans for the Company. Powerhouse has not shared a clear strategy as yet. However, if the strategy that emerges is the one that was discussed with the Percheron Board in January and February 2025, and which has been their modus operandi in other investments such as KTG and SIT, then shareholders should be aware that it may have several unanticipated consequences.

Forfeit of Tax Losses

Percheron shareholders may lose access to $82 million of tax losses under the Powerhouse proposal

First, Percheron shareholders should be aware that the Company currently holds approximately $82.4 million in accumulated tax losses (as at 30 June 2024), for expenditure relating to the development of ATL1101, ATL1102, and ATL1103 over the Company’s previous existence as Antisense Therapeutics. Under the Income Tax Assessment Act ( Cth ) (1997), these tax losses may be foregone if the Company ceases to satisfy a ‘continuity of business’ test, i.e. if it ceases to be a drug development company. In effect, the Powerhouse proposal to reconfigure the Company as some form of investment vehicle may cost Percheron $82.4 million in tax shelter.

Possible Requirement to ‘Re-Comply’ for ASX Listing

Percheron may be required to ‘re-comply’ for ASX listing if there is a substantial change in the nature of the business

Second, under ASX Listing Rule 11, any substantial change in the nature of Percheron’s activities may require additional approval from shareholders at a further general meeting and, the Company would effectively be paralysed for at least several months while this was arranged. In addition, under Listing Rule 11.1.3, ASX may require the Company to ‘re-comply’ for admission to the official list, which typically requires an entity to demonstrate a steady revenue stream. ASX reserves the right to suspend an entity’s listed securities until it satisfies these requirements. Accordingly, Percheron shareholders may endure a sustained period in which they would be unable to sell their shares.

Failure to Meet Corporate Governance Standards

ASX Corporate Governance Principle 2 requires the Board of a company to be composed of a majority of independent directors. The ASX specifically states that:

To describe a director as “independent” carries with it a particular connotation that the director is not aligned with the interests of […] a substantial holder and can and will bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board.[24]

24 ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Fourth Edition)

Page 15 of 21

PERCHERON THERAPEUTICS LIMITED STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Mr Eldar would clearly fail this test, as he is also a non-executive director of Powerhouse. It is questionable whether Mr Chick and Mr Hammersley would meet this test, given the manner of their appointment, and their association with Powerhouse. It is likely that Percheron would be left with a Board that failed to satisfy the basic corporate governance principle of independence.

5. THE BOARD’S STRATEGY TO REBUILD SHAREHOLDER VALUE

The current Board of Directors has a clear strategy to rebuild the Company, which it has outlined to shareholders on several occasions over recent months. In brief, the key points of the Board’s strategy are as follows:

  1. Percheron should remain a drug development company. Few other potential lines of business offer the potential returns associated with drug development, and anything less than those returns would likely not restore value for the majority of the Company’s shareholders.

  2. The Board does not, in general, favour a ‘reverse takeover’ or ‘backdoor listing’. A number of such opportunities have been considered over the past two months. Several are interesting business and remain under discussion; many offer little clear benefit to Percheron shareholders. The additional complexity of a ‘reverse takeover’ means that the Board inclines, all other things being equal, to a licensing transaction as its first preference.

  3. The Board has not yet reached a final determination on whether there is a business case to invest further in ATL1102. However, having spoken to a number of institutional investors over recent months, it is clear that any strategy which places ATL1102 at the centre of the Company’s investment rationale is unlikely to be successful. In effect, Percheron needs a new asset.

  4. Any new asset should be (a) in the clinic or as ‘clinic ready’ as possible, (b) developable using the resources available to Percheron (for example, the Company needs to be able to make meaningful and value-driving progress using the cash already available), and (c) sufficiently attractive to professional investors to encourage them to return to the Company’s register.

To that end, the Percheron team has evaluated assets from a wide range of companies over the course of January and February 2025. The Company has submitted a non-binding proposal to its first-choice partner, which is currently the subject of negotiation.

Such transactions are common in drug development, and each of the Directors has prior experience with both in-licensing and out-licensing pharmaceutical assets. The Board is confident of being able to secure a compelling new story for the Company.

Percheron’s in-licensing target leverages existing capabilities and relationships

The discussions remain highly confidential, as is always the case in such matters, but the Board is able to say several things about its intended target. The program under discussion focuses on a rare neurological disease. This allows the Company to use many of the capabilities and

Page 17 of 21

PERCHERON THERAPEUTICS LIMITED STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

relationships that it has already developed through its work in multiple sclerosis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The fact that the disease is considered ‘rare’ should not discourage investors. Many ‘rare diseases’ represent multi-billion dollar market opportunities. An example of a successful Australian rare disease company is Neuren Pharmaceutics (ASX: NEU), which is currently valued at approximately $1.7 billion.

In-licensing target is a different kind of program to ATL1102 and the Board considers it substantially lower risk

The Board has been extremely sensitive about the risk of simply swapping ATL1102 for a similar drug candidate, and the proposed new program has key strategic differences from the Company’s previous work. First, instead of being discovered in house, as ATL1102 was by Antisense Therapeutics, the new program has been discovered by, and undergone early development with, one of the leading international pharmaceutical companies in this field. Put simply, the work to date has been done to a first-class standard. Second, the new program comprises several distinct drug candidates and represents, in effect, a pipeline in a single transaction. This provides Percheron with multiple shots on goal and avoids the binary outcome that resulted from ATL1102. Finally, the new program targets the root cause of the illness, rather than its downstream effects, as was the case with ATL1102, and the Board believes that this may substantially de-risk its development.

If the Board is able to continue these efforts, the Company aims to generate key value-driving inflection points over the next eighteen to twenty-four months as follows:


twenty-four months as follows:
Execution of Defnitive License Agreement 2Q CY2025
Opening of Investigational New Drug Application with US FDA
(provides regulatory approval to conduct clinical trials in US)
4Q CY2025
Initiation of Clinical Trial 1Q CY2026
Granting of ‘Orphan Drug Designation’ by US FDA 2Q CY2026
Initial Read-Out from Clinical Trial 4Q CY2026

In addition, Percheron believes that the target program may be eligible for certain forms of non-dilutive grant funding, which it intends to pursue energetically as soon as the definitive license agreement is executed.

It should be stressed that these timelines and milestones are currently indicative estimates, which may change as the program develops, but they represent for present purposes a realistic set of objectives and expectations for the Company and its shareholders.

What might Percheron become if it is able to meet these objectives? What might these plans result in for shareholders?

Clearly, neither the Board nor any investor could predict the market’s response. However, it is reasonable to look to comparable companies to

Page 18 of 21

STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

PERCHERON THERAPEUTICS LIMITED

understand how the market may value success in these endeavours. Some appropriate comparators include:

NASDAQ:
LRMR
US$ 193M
(~AU$311M)
1 asset- in phase 2 for Friedreich’s
ataxia
NASDAQ:
FULC
US$ 194M
(~AU$312M)
2 assets- most advanced in phase 1
for sickle cell disease
NASDAQ:
SLN
US$ 209M
(~AU$337M)
3 assets– most advanced in phase 2
for cardiovascular disease
NASDAQ:
KRRO
US$ 235M
(~AU$378M)
2 assets– most advance in phase 1 for
alpha1-antitrypsin defciency
NASDAQ:
NGNE
US$ 263M
(~AU$424M)
2 assets– most advanced in phase 1/2
for Rett syndrome
NASDAQ:
TSHA
US$ 328M
(~AU$528M)
1 asset– in phase 1 for Rett syndrome

Note: market cap shown as of 28 February 2025

Once again, shareholders should recognise that no comparator is perfect, and that Percheron’s performance may depend on many factors, not all of which are under the Board’s control. However, the data suggests that companies which can successfully execute on promising programs in rare neurological diseases are well-valued in the market, and a valuation for Percheron that remotely resembles any of these companies would represent an enormous upside for shareholders.

6. CONCLUDING REMARKS

The question that Powerhouse has put forward in the forthcoming General Meeting has, in effect, already been asked and answered by Mr Koutchin and Mr Peters and their associates. Percheron’s shareholders have spoken, and they have made it clear that they want to see the current Board given the opportunity to deliver on its strategy.

If we fail to do that, shareholders should rightly vote us out. But to do so now would be premature. The current Board has made rapid progress in reconfiguring the Company, and there is a clear path forward that has the potential to restore shareholder value.

With your support, we believe that Percheron can rapidly bounce back from the negative trial read-out in December 2024. So firm is our conviction in the potential of our business, that we have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars of our money in acquiring the Company’s shares. Our interests are entirely aligned with your interests because we too are shareholders in Percheron.

If shareholders wish to back the Powerhouse team, they have an easy alternative way to do so: they can simply buy shares in Powerhouse. The ticker is ‘PVL’. But if shareholders want to be part of a drug development business, if they want access to the potential returns associated with a successful biotech, and if they want to make a difference in the lives of patients confronting devastating illness, then they should hold the course.

We implore all shareholders to vote ‘AGAINST’ this opportunistic attempt by Powerhouse to seize control of your Company.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting of the Company to be held at MinterEllison, Governor Macquarie Tower, Level 40, 1 Farrer Place, Sydney, NSW, 2000 on Thursday, 24 April 2025 commencing at 4:00 pm AEST, as well as at any adjournment of the Meeting.

The purpose of the Explanatory Memorandum is to explain the background to the General Meeting and the Resolutions, and to provide information that your Directors consider is material to Shareholders in relation to the Resolutions.

The Company recommends that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum and the Directors’ Statement (which is included in this Notice of Meeting booklet) before making any decisions in relation to the Resolutions.

Background to special business being put to the Meeting

On 21 February 2025, Powerhouse Ventures Limited, one of Percheron’s approximately 3,500 registered Shareholders, and which has a relevant interest in approximately 10.1% of the Company’s fully-paid ordinary shares on issue (“Requisitioning Shareholder”), lodged with Percheron a notice under section 203D of the Corporations Act advising of its intention to move resolutions at a general meeting to remove as Directors:

  • The Company’s Chair, Dr Charmaine Gittleson, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Dr James Garner and Non-Executive Director, Dr Ben Gil Price; and

  • If appointed as Directors at the meeting of shareholders held on 4 March 2025, Mr Gregory Peters and Mr Gennadi Koutchin

On 24 February 2025, the Requisitioning Shareholder lodged with Percheron a notice under section 249D of the Corporations Act requesting the Company convene a general meeting of the Company. The notice proposed the resolutions referred to in the section 203D notice, as well as resolutions for the appointment of Mr Doron Eldar, Mr Julian Chick and Mr Richard Hamersley as Directors of the Company.

At the meeting of Shareholders on 4 March 2025, Messrs Peters and Gennadi were not appointed as Directors and accordingly these resolutions have not been proposed in this Notice of Meeting.

In compliance with the above referenced notice under section 249D of the Corporations Act, the Company has issued this Notice of Meeting in which is included the following items of special business:

  • Resolution 1 – Removal of current Director, Dr Charmaine Gittleson

  • Resolution 2 – Removal of current Director, Dr James Garner

  • Resolution 3 – Removal of current Director, Dr Ben Gil Price

  • Resolution 4 – Appointment of Mr Doron Eldar as a Director

  • Resolution 5 – Appointment of Mr Julian Chick as a Director

  • Resolution 6 – Appointment of Mr Richard Hamersley as a Director

Percheron Therapeutics Limited – ABN 41 095 060 745

The Directors of Percheron are unanimous in recommending that Shareholders vote AGAINST all six Resolutions.

Voting by the majority of Shareholders in accordance with the recommendation of the Directors will result in a Board comprising Dr Charmaine Gittleson, Dr James Garner and Dr Ben Gil Price (i.e. retention of the current Board).

Voting by the majority of Shareholders contrary to the recommendations of the Directors will result in a Board comprising Mr Doron Eldar, Mr Julian Chick and Mr Richard Hamersley.

Resolution 1 relates to the removal of Dr Charmaine Gittleson as a Director.

Dr Gittleson was appointed as a Director of Percheron on 24 March 2021 and as Chair on 28 July 2021.

MEMBER’S STATEMENT

Annexure A - Statement from Powerhouse Ventures Limited

Dear Shareholders

After careful consideration and with great reluctance we have initiated the process for the removal of the Percheron Therapeutics board and management team. We firmly believe the changes proposed in this letter are both necessary and timely to protect and retain shareholder value in this company.

While the current board and management team were appropriate to preside over the trials and rollout of the ATL1102 asset, it is now the case, given the trail’s failure, that we no longer believe they are the right team to take the company into its next phase.

We are disheartened by the extent to which the current and prior custodians of the business have taken excessive bonuses and remuneration without any associated shareholder wealth creation. It is our view that management have benefitted from above-market remuneration, including short-term incentives in 2024 of close to half a million dollars. Given the failure of the trial, we are still unclear as to which hurdles and KPI’s were met to garner these bonuses.

Following the closure of the ATL1102 phase IIb trial we expect the business to retain more than $10m in cash and without a clear asset or strategy, we do not believe it is prudent for the business to continue to wear the excessive CEO remuneration well beyond the scope of what is now an $8m business.

We have held several meetings with the Percheron team to try to find an amicable solution and way forward for the business however have this was met with an unwillingness to adjust attitude and approach for shareholders. We therefore advised the PER Board on the 21st of February 2025 of our intention to remove them. Despite their effective caretaker position, board members have been travelling the globe, coming up non-binding bids for new assets.

Without any meaningful personal shareholdings, we are not inclined to believe the board and management are sufficiently aligned with shareholders to make necessary adjustments. We would note that through the groups’ c. 2-year tenure there has been minimal effort to acquire stock on market or through performance shares in-lieu of cash salary.

Two separate shareholder groups representing a significant portion of the company have now, independently, pursued the removal of the board through a 249d which speaks to the widespread disapproval among the shareholder base.

We have chosen incredibly strong independent candidates to help with the new pathway and strategy of PER. These candidates possess a strong skill set and track record in biotechnology, investing and capital markets.

We propose the removal of Dr Charmaine Gittleson, Dr Ben Price and James Garner from their positions as directors of the company and put forward Richard Hamersley, Doron Eldar and Julian Chick as replacements.

Dr Julian Chick

Dr Julian Chick is an experienced healthcare executive with over 20 years’ experience in senior management including in ASX listed companies Avexa and Admedus. His roles have included Chief Executive Officer, COO and Head of Business Development, as well as running early and late-stage R&D projects and launching medical devices into the global markets. Dr Chick’s experience includes developing and obtaining FDA USA clearance for four tissue based medical devices. Dr Chick while COO at Admedus Ltd was involved in the R&D development, regulatory approval and launch of several tissue products in North America, Europe and Asia. More recently, he oversaw the successful.

IPO and progression of LTR Pharma (ASX:LTP). He has eight years’ investment banker experience and has also held a role as an analyst reviewing healthcare and biotechnology investment opportunities for private equity investors and venture capitalists. Julian has a PhD in Muscle Physiology.

Richard Hamersley

Richard Hamersley has 20 years experience in ASX listed equities.

Richard's previous role was Portfolio Manager at Endeavor Asset Management, an equities fund based in Melbourne and Perth. Richard managed ASX equities high conviction portfolios for 8 years. Richard sold his equity in Endeavor and exited the funds business in October 2023. Prior to Endeavor, Richard was an equities analyst at Euroz Securities, a stockbroking firm based in Perth, from 2005 to 2015. Richard has deep relationships and experience investing in the healthcare sector.

Richard is a Member and Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD), Member of Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINISIA), Member of Chartered Accountants (CA) Australia and New Zealand and holds a Bachelor of commerce, degree in Accounting and Finance.

Doron Eldar

Doron Eldar is a seasoned entrepreneur and venture capitalist with over a decade of senior leadership experience and successful traction in the life-sciences sector. As a Partner at SIBF VC, he was among the first investors in Nanox, playing a key role in its growth and NASDAQ IPO, which exceeded $1 billion. Doron serves as a director to several biotech and pharmaceutical companies, including Livia, a biotech company now in the process of listing in Canada with $25M+ in revenue, as well as Xerient Pharma, Aquer, and others. He has led major capital raises across the U.S., Europe, and Australia, helping life science companies secure the funding and strategic guidance .

With a deep understanding of both private and public markets, Doron specializes in identifying high-potential ventures and driving their success through capital investment, corporate strategy, and industry partnerships. We expect these three directors will assess the opportunities for the business with a greater degree of shareholder focus and alignment. There is no history or emotional baggage relating to PER with the incoming directors and thus an orderly and clear reset can be achieved with capital markets.

The immediate focus for the new board will be to significantly reduce corporate and admin costs to reflect the limited current scope and size of the business.

As stated, our decision to lodge this 249d did not come lightly however we believe this course of action is in the best interest of all shareholders. We are continued supporters of the business and are excited for the future for this company.

We encourage shareholders to reach out to us at [email protected] to discuss anything in further detail.
