Strategy to realise shareholder value
==> picture [24 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
13
----- End of picture text -----
Three overlapping strategic phases
-
PARTNERING (2012/2013) : Short term revenue growth from Pharma fee-for-service alliances
-
TECHNOLOGICAL LEADERSHIP (2013/2014): Building capital value by enhancing Phylomer drug discovery platform
-
PRODUCTS AND POSITIONING (2014/2015): Positioning Phylogica for trade sale exit by advancing internal programs against high-value targets

==> picture [48 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
Pharma alliances build accumulating stake in downstream milestones/royalties Extend and renew IP value around the platform and products Build portfolio of Phylomer-derived assets against high-value disease targets
15
The main game: what do the acquirers value most?
==> picture [108 x 109] intentionally omitted <==
Biologics library companies are valued for the impact of their discovery platform and products on the future pipeline of acquirer
Plan to exit via a trade sale to big pharma company or a specialist pharma/biotech
==> picture [45 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
No correlation between exit value of companies with proprietary libraries and their revenue
- § Almost all of the biologics library companies with high value exits (in hundreds of millions to billions of dollars) have negligible revenue (eg. Avidia, Domantis, Adnexus, Applied Molecular Evolution, Evogenix, Abgenix, Glycofi, Medarex)
==> picture [45 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [45 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Valuations of library companies are driven by the degree of validation of the discovery platform and (in some cases), the development of preclinical/clinical assets Main value ascribed to biologics library companies is not due to their revenue streams, but the projected impact of the platform on future drug revenue streams of the acquirer

What does the ideal library acquisition candidate look like?
==> picture [108 x 109] intentionally omitted <==
Has validated its drug lead discovery engine against multiple targets Technology addresses unmet needs not addressed by other approaches (small molecules, antibodies, conventional peptides, protein scaffolds)
==> picture [47 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
Has shown sophisticated approaches to addressing key challenges:
-
§ Affinity
-
§ Selectivity
-
§ Potency
-
§ Solubility
-
§ Reliable production and formulation

- Technology is scalable
==> picture [47 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
- The IP covering technology is controlled and company has FTO
