ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Telix Completes Acquisition of QSAM Biosciences and Its Bone Cancer Targeting Platform

Melbourne (Australia) – 3 May 2024 . Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company) today announces the completion of the acquisition of QSAM Biosciences, Inc. (U.S. OTC: QSAM) and its lead investigational drug Samarium-153-DOTMP ([153] Sm-DOTMP). QSAM is a United States (U.S.) based company developing therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals for primary and metastatic bone cancer[1] .

153Sm-DOTMP is a novel investigational kit-based bone-seeking targeted radiopharmaceutical that uses a “next-generation” chelating agent to deliver a proprietary formulation of Samarium-153 radioisotope. With two major potential applications – pain management of bone metastases and osteosarcoma therapy, including in paediatric patients –[153] Sm-DOTMP is highly aligned with Telix’s existing therapeutic focus areas in urologic oncology (prostate and kidney cancer) and musculoskeletal oncology (sarcoma).

This acquisition is designed to be a complementary and early commercial entry-point for Telix’s prostate cancer therapy franchise. Lutetium-177 ([177] Lu) -based PSMA therapies are transforming prostate cancer care, however all patients eventually progress and require specialty care, particularly pain management for bone metastases. This unmet need is further exacerbated by quality-of-life issues associated with metastatic pain management, particularly opioid administration. In the U.S. alone, there are an estimated 400,000 patients up-staged with malignant bone metastasis primarily from prostate, breast and lung cancers[2] .

Dr Christian Behrenbruch, Managing Director and Group CEO of Telix said, “The QSAM technology adds a near-term therapeutic asset to the Telix pipeline, which we believe will enable a “third generation” palliation approach through radiopharmaceuticals. This is needed more than ever, not only because of the change in treatment landscape in prostate and other cancers, but also because of the escalating cost of opioid compliance, particularly in the U.S.[153] Sm-DOTMP is a validated therapeutic candidate, which further enhances and differentiates Telix’s innovation position to provide a continuum of care to patients from diagnosis and staging, through systemic treatment of metastatic disease, to palliative care. We are pleased to welcome the highly experienced QSAM team to the Telix Group of companies.”

Transaction terms[3]

The upfront consideration value is US$33.1 million (approximately AU$50.8 million[4] ) which will be paid to QSAM through the issue of fully paid ordinary Telix shares at US$7.57[5] per share (AU$11.61) and in cash. The final amounts to be settled in Telix shares and cash will be determined shortly after closing and the number of shares will be confirmed in the Appendix 2A to be lodged with ASX following completion of the issue of such shares. 66,011 Telix shares, representing a holdback amount of US$0.5m (approximately AU$0.8 million), will be held back against any adjustments required to be made post completion.

153Sm-DOTMP is a clinical-stage bone targeting radiopharmaceutical originally developed by IsoTherapeutics, now a Telix Group company.[153] Sm-DOTMP has demonstrated evidence of safety, efficacy and future commercial utility in pre-clinical and early clinical trials, with potential to deliver significant improvements on prior bone-seeking agents in the treatment and management of latestage metastatic disease[8] .[153] Sm-DOTMP has been granted Orphan Drug[9] and Rare Pediatric Disease[10] Designations (ODD/RPDD) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of osteosarcoma.
