Blockbuster potential.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY | 2 Business Model and Strategy

Business Model § Target highest potential rare/disease modifying assets; opioid addiction is the initial indication with follow-on addiction pipeline indications: § § § Sucrose cravings (obesity) § [No Pharma Treatment available, High, unmet need] § [No Pharma Treatment available, High, unmet need] § Strong Team with world-class expertise and efficient use of capital

2018 FDA Incentives § Faster FDA Review and Potential Approval. Accelerated Approval/Breakthrough Designation for development of treatments for opioid use disorders. (April 2018). § FDA lowered threshold for approval. New draft guidance issued (August 2018) to encourage development of novel medicines. Addressed some barriers of clinical endpoints.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY | 3 Market Challenge and Product Solution

Market Challenge § Opioid addiction and dependence is the greatest healthcare challenge in the US today: 150 daily deaths, 650,000 daily RXs filled1, Addiction Market:$35B+ in treatment expense2 with ~9% CAGR3 § Current medicines do not treat the cause of the disease and are basically substitute therapies that do not break the cycle of craving e.g. , , nicotine patches) § ~25% effective 12 months post treatment4 § Overdose deaths rising ~10%. >72,000 in 20176 5 Product Solution § 18-MC is a novel, first-in-class anti-addictive molecule to target the rewards center of the brain (dopaminergic pathway). § Specifically, pre-clinical studies show it: § Controls cravings § Reduces relapse rate § Significantly reduces § Is not habit-forming withdrawal symptoms
