  7. Tesomet: tesofensine + metoprolol Tesofensine, in preclinical models and clinical trials, has shown efficacy and safety • Reduction in food intake • Weight loss efficacy • Effects on glycemic parameters relevant for type 2 diabetes • Excellent safety and tolerability COMPOSITION TESOFENSINE METOPROLOL Beta blocker to control slight increase in heart rate Effective weight loss drug Tesomet = tesofensine + beta blocker (metroprolol) • Neutralizes slight heart rate increase observed with tesofensine • Allows for strong intellectual property protection through 2036 7 |

  8. Tesomet: Go-2-Market opportunity in orphan indications Potential for market entry within 4 years – Total investment of $30-40M - >$4B opportunity Prader Willi Syndrome Hypothalamic Obesity Positive Phase 2a in PWS adults Phase 2 study preparations Phase 2a in adolescent patients ongoing Life-threatening hyperphagia and obesity Life-threatening hyperphagia and obesity Prevalence: 1/(50.000-100,000) Prevalence: 1/40.000 Estimated market size: >1B USD Estimated market size: ~3B USD 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Prader Willi Open FDA Phase 2a Phase 3 Phase 2b filing label Syndrome Hypothalamic FDA Phase 2a Phase 3 filing obesity 8 | 8 |

  9. Tesomet - lead indication: Prader-Willi syndrome Genetic disease caused by mutations/deletion of genes on chromosome 15 Chronic feeling of extreme hunger (hyperphagia) no matter how much the patient eats Other symptoms and characteristics Mental retardation and behavioural problems Low metabolic rate (50% of normal) Sensitive to some medicines (½ dose prescribed) Medical need } Acute life-threating hyperphagia (choking, bowel rupture) Short life expectation (average in 30s) Life-threatening obesity No effective treatment available today Economic and social costs Quality of life for patients and families Family stress and loss of income Care and medical costs (USD 100-300K per year) 9 | 9 |

  10. PWS opportunity has blockbuster potential Accessible market value equals 3 Billion USD (Analyst estimates) Premium pricing potential Orphan drug status will ensure premium pricing Majority of drugs with less that 10,000 patients in the US tend to be priced above 200K USD per year Large commercial opportunity No drugs approved for treating hyperphagia Low investment Clear endpoint with short studies (Phase 3: 100 patients / 6 months) Straightforward commercialization (most patients are managed by specialists in central centers) 10 |

  11. Summary of Phase 2a studies in patients with PWS Proof-of-concept for Tesomet, which should be given at lower doses as is the case for many other drugs 3-months double blind Phase 2a study in adults with PWS provides proof-of-concept for Tesomet Tesomet provides strong reduction in hyperphagia and weight at optimal dose for obese patient of 0.5 mg/day 0.5 mg/day is too high in some PWS patients because of a different body composition and slow metabolism 3-months double blind study followed by two 3-months open label dose-finding studies in adolescents with PWS Tesomet at 0.125 mg/day is well tolerated but does not provide the intended blood concentration and efficacy Tesomet at 0.25 mg/day initiated in March – to be completed in July Tesomet appears to be well tolerated at 0.25 mg/day and first data point suggests that patients have stabilized in weight with a small weight loss recorded in some patients Conclusion Tesomet is a promising highly effective treatment option for control of hyperphagia and weight in PWS The results provide sufficient information to start a Phase 2b / Phase 3 program Many patients may have full benefit of 0.25 mg per day whereas the optimal dose may be between 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg per day for some patients Potential adaptive design in clinical studies with a starting dose of 0.25 mg per day 11 |
