Worldwide Humanitarian and Economic Challenge The Covid-19 Pandemic has created a worldwide humanitarian challenge. The most significant global viral pandemic in many decades. Over 2 million confirmed cases and 165,000 deaths In places, the healthcare system is overloaded. Major economic impact with high unemployment, global declines in GDP and lines of people in search of food. Widespread adoption of social distancing measures to slow viral spread. Cities, transportation hubs and like eerily quiet. Most biopharma industry professionals working from home for over a month. Path to getting to “normal” will be long. Biopharma sector vital to controlling pandemic. 4 Empty Train Station in Berlin Source for cases and deaths: Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, Accessed on April 20, 2020. 4

Key Issues in Global Healthcare System 7 Healthcare Utilization Down Routine doctor office visits down significantly. New therapy starts reduced in many areas. Providers are Stressed Many healthcare providers are severely stressed by lower utilization of many different types of services (e.g., primary care, radiology, elective surgeries). Many providers of elective procedures or non- life-threatening medical conditions have closed (e.g., aesthetic dermatology, fertility, orthopedics). Weaker Access Many patients not getting care that they need. Even important procedures for serious life- threatening conditions are not always available. Hospital Systems Impacted Many hospital systems are exhausted and not well supplied following the COVID-19 crisis period. Many have not been adequately reimbursed for dealing with large public need. launches.

Image from Pixabay. Usage of Drugs is Down Significant declines in physician office administration of drugs for autoimmune diseases (e.g., MS, RA, IBD). Also significant impact in general on vaccines, drugs requiring infusions (particularly in the elderly) and rare disease drugs. Usage of cancer drugs is less affected. Some companies (like BMS with Zeposia® or Neurocrine) are delaying Drug Shortages at the Hospital Level In addition to being short on ventilators, PPE and testing materials for COVID-19, many hospitals are increasingly short on essential drugs used to treat patients (e.g., sedatives, pressins, IL-6 inhibitors) due to high case loads in the last several months.

Biopharma Revenue Impacted 8 GlobalData’s survey of the industry revealed that 95 percent of persons spoken to are concerned about a negative impact of COVID-19 on performance. Roughly a quarter of respondents were also worried about supply chain issues. Illustrative examples of change in earnings and associated guidance… April 14, 2020 Lowered previous guidance for 2020 revenue to reflect the negative impact of COVID-19 on sales While Aerie volumes increased in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 for both Rhopressa® (netarsudil ophthalmic solution) 0.02% and Rocklatan® (netarsudil and latanoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.02%/0.005%, the pace of volumes, as seen with the entire pharmaceutical market according to IQVIA data, has declined as the COVID-19 impact became elevated in late March and into April 2020 to date. …with many eye care professionals’ offices closed or in the process of closing, new prescription growth has slowed.

Clinical Trial Delays 9 Selected companies that have announced halting or slowing enrollment in studies / delaying new studies Our conversations with industry participants indicate that many (if not most) studies that have been actively enrolling clinical trials have been slowed down or paused during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Many companies have simply not announced specific decisions that have been made. We believe that, on average, the completion of most non-COVID-19 clinical trials is going to be pushed back by four to six months across the industry. Some ongoing trials, unfortunately, have been shut prematurely and need to be rerun (or may not be repeated for financial reasons). Source: Company press releases and industry discussions.

Generic Drugs, Drug Manufacturing and API 10 Global supplies of API and generics have being impacted and the world may see shortages in some molecules going forward. There have been shortages of a number of hospital drugs already worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Groups like Civica which have stockpiled hospital drugs have really shined in recent months. Manufacturing plants in India and China are not working at optimum capacity which could result in drug shortages for some molecules. Many developed countries are considering moving manufacturing of certain critical life-saving drugs to their home geography. We have already seen Indian government announcing $2 billion of investment for reducing dependence on API and key starting materials for generics from China. Generic Prices: To address temporary shortages of certain medicines, inventory levels in the system would go up. Hence short term demand of many generics will rise, pushing prices upwards. Investment in Healthcare in Developing Markets: The spend towards healthcare infrastructure by various governments, especially developing markets, will increase given the underinvestment these countries have made in the sector. Generic M&A: We see increasing global generic M&A as generic pricing will improve. Manufacturing assets in developed markets will be in demand as companies wish to be better positioned in those markets.

Long-Term Societal Implications of COVID-19 Loïc Plantevin, Jason Evers and George Eliades, A Covid-19 Action Plan for Pharma Executives, April 03, 2020 “Importantly, the underlying economic crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic will have a significant ripple effect on state and national budgets. Urgent and costly measures to shore up businesses and support individuals will force governments to contain outlays in every category, including healthcare. The incremental innovation required for premium-price drugs will continue to rise, as will pricing pressure on commodity products such as generics and biosimilars.” Government Budget Constraints and Drug Price Pressures https://www.bain.com/insights/a-covid-19-action-plan-for-pharma/ Martin McKee, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine & David Stuckler, Bocconi “The COVID-19 pandemic could encourage people to realize that they all depend on each other on this small planet and, whether it is global heating, inequality, or environmental degradation, will either swim or sink together. On the other hand, populist politicians and the vested interests that support them could use this crisis to sow divisions, creating cleavages between the young and old, rich and poor, sick and healthy, ethnic minorities and population majorities, immigrants and domestic groups, weakening the collective bonds and support for essential public goods.” Potential for Greater Social Division https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0863-y April 16, 2020 “The push in Congress to drive down U.S. prescription drug costs has taken a backseat to all things COVID-19, but that reprieve may be about to end as freshman members of the House urge their leaders to include bipartisan drug pricing proposals in the next COVID relief bill. “We have consistently heard from our constituents that costs are prohibitive to obtaining their medications, a problem that is exacerbated during a crisis,” the lawmakers said Wednesday in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).” 11

Response from Regulators Encouraging 12 Regulators have been highly responsive to the outbreak FDA is working tirelessly on three fronts to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic: Tests: Achieving Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for previously unapproved tests for COVID-19 Devices: Achieving rapid approvals for devices, including PPEs, respirators and swaps, for treatment of COVID-19 Drugs: The FDA is facilitating development and availability of potential COVID-19 treatments including expedited review of IND applications. In total, the FDA has approved 67 EUAs for test kits and devices between Feb 4 and April 18, 2020. Further, in the last eight weeks (Feb 24 to April 20) the FDA has approved 14 new drugs for the first time for a range of diseases including Tukysa for breast cancer, Jemlyto from Urogen for bladder cancer and Koselugo for neurofibramotosis. This is a record pace for NDA/BLA approvals. The COVID-19 EMA pandemic Task Force is the main tool of EMA and the European medicines regulatory network for enabling EU Member States and the European Commission to take quick and coordinated regulatory action during the pandemic. National Medical Products Administration in China has moved with lightning speed to encourage the development of multiple COVID-19 vaccines and is now cooperating with other agencies to coordinate development and hopefully, ultimate approvals.

Response from Industry Encouraging Pharma has been highly responsive to the outbreak The pharma sector has also been remarkably focused helping to combat the Coronavirus and manage patient burdens while the pandemic is ongoing. Measures taken include work on novel antivirals and vaccines, donations of protective equipment, responsibly suspending clinical trials, making essential medicines (e.g., insulin) available to patients and donating employee time. Without intention to exclude many other groups with high impact programs, examples of companies with notable initiatives include: 13

Biopharma Public Market Background The NASDAQ Biotech Index fell 28% at its low between the Feb 20 and April 20, 2020. The Index is up slightly as of April 20th. However, while the swings have been substantial they are not major in light of historical volatility in the index. Source: Data from NASDAQ
Slide 16-

Understanding the Nasdaq Biotech Index Returns 16 Index returns can give a distorted view of what is actually going on in the market. The NASDAQ Biotech Index is a market weighted index of 207 biotech shares. We looked at the returns on each of the constituents from Jan 1, 2020 to April 20, 2020 The index overall was up by 4.9% in this period. We found that if three stocks were omitted from the index, the returns would have gone negative. The stocks were Gilead, Moderna and Regeneron. All three companies have had outstanding returns due to their potential development of COVID-19 therapies in recent months. It’s important to note that the median return on the components of the Index was -10.6% from the beginning of the year. In fact, only 64 of the 207 (31%) index components had positive returns YTD.
Slide 17-

Analyzing Returns in Market Segments 17 Given the issue with indices as a measure of returns, we chose to study the full global healthcare market. We used S&P CapitalIQ to access returns on the entire public universe of healthcare stocks worldwide in the 90 day period from Jan 21, 2020 to April 20, 2020. We then broke down this dataset by region, industry segment etc. to gain greater insight into what has happened in the markets during COVID-19 period. We focused in on the US and EU population, breaking down the companies into groups that would normally be referred to by industry participants.* We chose to focus on median return in subgroups, asking what happened to the typical company rather than the exceptional company. To benchmark returns, we have shown market index returns over the same 90 day period at right. * We defined companies as being in biotech if they did not yet have an approved product, as being a COVID virology leader if they have received significant publicity for contributions to COVID pharmacology in recent months (e.g., Gilead, Regeneron), as a specialty pharma company if they market a commercial product that is not based upon an NCE, a generics company if they market products that have lost patent protection and as an innovative pharma company if they market on patent new chemical entities.

Most global indices are down 15 to 25% in the last 90 days. Returns on Major Market Indices, Jan 21, 2020 to April 20, 2020

Notably, the best performing segment was life sciences tools and diagnostics which includes many companies which make COVID-19 tests. The worst performing segment was healthcare facilities (i.e., hospitals) which have suffered due to the financial burden of caring for COVID-19 patients. Service business have also struggled in this time period. Pharma and biotech company returns have been in the middle of the pack, showing global losses in the range of 9% to 12%.

Global Share Price Returns in Healthcare Sector The chart at right shows aggregate global share price returns over a 90 day period ending April 20th split by country. We selected the 15 countries with the most public companies (90% of the total). Notably, the best performing country was China which has largely put the COVID-19 outbreak behind it and has minimized the long-term impact. In contrast, Canada, Australia and the US have all seen significant impact on their healthcare sectors. France, India and Taiwan have fared relatively well.

Share Returns in Europe Biopharma Segment* (this analysis excludes three companies with high returns due to COVID-19 programs) Much less sector rotation is visible in the European markets. While large caps such as Sanofi and GSK fared better than most, there is no strong pattern of cross-sectional variance in return. Microcap (market cap < Small cap ($1bn market cap > $200mm), - 10.0% Mid cap ($10bn market cap > $1bn), -7.5% Large cap (market cap > $10 bn), -3.8% $200mm), -7.7% -10% -8% -12% -6% -4% -2% 0% Median Returns by Capitalization (Jan 21) Jan 21, 2020 to April 20, 2020 Innovative Pharma, - 8.80% Biotechnology, - 8.60% Generic Pharma, - 1.90% Specialty Pharma, - 90% Day Change in Share Price 90% Day Change in Share Price * We defined companies as being in biotech if they did not yet have an approved product, as being a COVID virology leader if they have received significant publicity for contributions to COVID pharmacology in recent months (e.g., Gilead, Regeneron), as a specialty pharma company if they market a commercial product that is not based upon an NCE (but rather a reformulation of an existing product) or even a branded generic, a generics company if they market INN products that have lost patent protection and as an innovative pharma company if they market on patent new chemical entities (e.g., big pharma, companies like Vertex, companies with recent approvals such as Esperion Therapeutics. 21 5% -12% -10% -8% -6% -4% -2% 0% Median Returns by Pharma Segment Jan 21, 2020 to April 20, 2020, Analysis of 250 Public Companies

Torreya Survey of Public Investors in Biotech Shares 22 Torreya has spoken to more than a dozen public markets investors in the last four weeks. We have asked these investors how they view the COVID-19 pandemic overall, how the pandemic has impacted their appetite for new investments and how they see the markets playing out. These investors have included hedge funds, long- only funds and some venture groups that participate in public market offerings. We have also spoken to a number of bankers that are active in marketing offerings. While not a scientific survey, we believe that we have a good picture of how investors are viewing the markets during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Slide 23-

What Public Investors are Saying 1 Some Have Pulled Back A significant minority of investors have moved to the sidelines going largely or partially into cash – many believe that the market has more room to fall and are surprised that biotechs are flat since the COVID outbreak began. 2 Higher Bar Most investors we spoke to have “raised the bar” for what they are putting money into given the more volatile environment. Most investors would still participate in follow-on equity offerings but these offerings need to be priced in a manner that offers a discount or provide access to exceptional shares that would not otherwise be available. 3 IPO Market is Pre-Arranged All IPOs that have happened this month have been pre- arranged by crossover investors. That is, all deals that went into the market had excess demand from inside investors. These IPO’s do not necessarily presage a full recovery in the initial offerings market. 4 Others Jumping In We spoke to several investors that have stepped up investment activity in the markets and are looking to put money to work in follow-ons and convertibles. We think this group is fairly small. 5 Little Interest in COVID-19 “Stunts” Investors have noticed that many companies are linking their technologies and pipelines to COVID-19. Most investors view this as not terribly interesting because of the view that COVID-19 will be gone by the time any of these projects reach commercialization. Some companies like Vir, Moderna and Regeneron see it differently. 6 No View that Long-Term Fundamentals Have Changed Investors were unanimous that the long-term fundamentals (dramatic bioinnovation) remain in place and that the biotech sector will grow in the long-run. 23

Summary: Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Public Biopharma Equity Markets While many biopharma companies have fared well during the COVID-19 epidemic, the typical company in the sector has lost substantial value. In the US this negative market cap impact has been most pronounced for small cap companies and those that are involved in generics and specialty pharma. IPO activity has been respectable but deals have been largely pre-arranged by investor syndicates. Follow-on equity offerings are down reflecting a difficult market. Most investors bargain hunting or on sidelines for now. Torreya’s View While open, the biopharma equity issuance market is not nearly as strong as it was in the previous 12 months. It will take time for investor confidence to return in biopharma but we believe that it will not be too long before we are testing new heights in the biopharma market indices. The rally in large caps and companies with very high science appeal will continue and, in time, small and mid-caps are likely follow. 27

Comments from the Capital Raising Front Lines 31 Torreya speaks with many private venture stage biotech companies that are in the market raising money. We have asked entrepreneur CEO’s in recent weeks what they are experiencing from investors. Here are some paraphrased comments: Interpretation: VCs who have reloaded recently and evergreen funds are very much open for business. The others are more worried about how to conserve reserves for bridging clinical stage companies in the portfolio. Overall, credentialed companies with strong stories are generally able to raise without difficulty. For many others, the going is slow. Everyone is nice but it feels like around a third of funds are out of the market and many others are really focused on guarding their own portfolios. Lots of interest but no one is rushing to term sheets. CEO of a very strong pre-clinical oncology company in California (seed raise) We’ve been pleasantly surprised. Investors are definitely open for business and are doing diligence on us. We aren’t done with our raise but it feels like we will get there. CFO of a very strong Phase 2 oncology company in China & US (Series B raise) We have been able to get two term sheets after a multi-month marketing process. It hasn’t been easy going. Importantly, we are seeing strong interest from corporate VCs across the board. COVID-19 or not, this deal will close. Bankers to an exceptional pre-clinical therapeutics company in Europe (Series A raise) We’re talking to most of the top funds for our $70mm pre-IPO raise. Discussions are moving well and everyone is professional but things are slower than the last time around. Funds are dragging their feet to see how the environment shapes up. We’ll get it done but will be delayed. CEO of a US hospital-based medicine company with good POC data (Series B raise) We need to close our Series A by October to stay on track. Our story is very good so I was planning to start the raise in the Summer. I am now thinking that I should jump in the market now given the possibility of delay in this market. CEO of a strong pre-commercial diagnostics company in California (Series A raise) Public investors are fascinated by our platform. We have a lot of forward spend and could either partner our lead or raise a private round. Given the strong demand, we might go ahead and finance ahead of an IPO.

Comments from the Front Lines: What Healthcare Lenders and PE Investors are Saying 1 Cost of Capital Jumped “A deal that would have priced at L+6 last week is now going for L+10.” “Hard to push through at old prices when good credits are trading at 75% of par in the liquid market” 4 Higher Bar Like their public counterparts, private investors we have spoken have “raised the bar” for what they are putting money into given the volatile environment and the fact many are reserving money for portfolio companies. For services focused companies, many investors want to see where the floor is before guessing at future cash flows. 2 …Pricing Gap Still Exists “Most companies are slow to get their head around our terms now that the venture debt providers are on the sidelines” While improving, coupons jumped as those still in the market tried to price risk and leverage scarcity. Velocity and volume way down as a result. Private Equity M&A Hurt by Credit Market Conditions PE buyers heavily reliant on debt are struggling to finance acquisitions. Even for businesses that have performed through the pandemic, the same amount of capital is just not available. “Many of our lenders just won’t engage, and those that have are pricing 30% above where we built our model.” 5 Heightened Interest in Debt Products From CFOs, But… With reduced equity valuations, more CFOs are considering debt capital markets. “I’ve actually been inundated by inbounds from CFOs who were dismissive a month ago” 3 6 A Rush to Medical Necessities and Telehealth/HCIT HC Services and Rx products linked to doctor visits are seeing major strain. There is a rush to “life saving” product companies and businesses focused on digital outsourcing. Telehealth on fire. 37

Why Did the Debt Market Soften So Much? High yield bond spreads (a measure of health of the credit market) jumped by six percentage points from Feb 17th to March 23rd and then started to recede. At one point, spreads hit 10%, indicating that relatively good quality bonds (rated B/BB) were trading at a huge premium over treasuries. Weaker credits (those that were CCC) briefly traded with a spread of thirty percentage points (3000 basis points) over treasury. Traditional venture debt in the life sciences sector trades somewhere around five points over the high yield spread. There are three types of lenders in the healthcare private field: (1) venture lenders, (2) hedge fund lenders / specialist lenders and (3) banks. Venture lenders pulled out the market entirely because their cost of funds went through the roof and it became uneconomic to lend. Banks largely pulled out as well due to the sudden need to expand balance sheets to make stimulus loans. This left hedge fund lenders who had the choice of buying discounted liquid debt in the market or making new illiquid loans to healthcare borrowers. As one might imagine, many of these lenders are also very worried about the portfolios of loans that are already in place. 38 0 Apr-19 May-19 Jun-19 Jul-19 Aug-19 Sep-19 Oct-19 Nov-19 Dec-19 Jan-20 Feb-20 Mar-20 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 Spread to Treasury in Percent (Yield on Index Less Yield on Spot Treasuries) Global High Yield Bond Credit Spreads, Daily Data April 20, 2019 to April 17, 2020 Aggregate High Yield Bond Spread CCC and Lower High Yield Bond Spread Source: FRED Economic Data published by the St. Louis Fed.

Comments from the M&A Front Lines 44 Interpretation: For the most part big pharma is very focused on doing their part to help with the COVID-19 pandemic and thinks this is not the right time for large scale acquisitions. Some firms with weaker balance sheets are also assessing any damage on themselves. We expect M&A volume to return to normal (or even exceed normal) once the pandemic has passed. We speak with pharma acquirers as a normal part of business. We have summarized views heard from six senior corporate development professionals in the last 60 days as the COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded. Five of these were from top 10 pharma and one was from a top 25 pharma. Internal activity on evaluating targets and doing work in March/April 2020 time frame 5 of 6 corporate development leaders said activity was “high”, in some cases at record levels Active in M&A during COVID-19 pandemic: 1 of 6 top pharma M&A leaders said “maybe”. The rest said “no” Top reasons for largely staying out of the market during the pandemic: Now is not the time for large deals. Need to stay focused on COVID-19 (mentioned by 3 of 6) Approaching a biotech with a shaky valuation is not being a good partner (mentioned by 2 of 6) Big M&A not in the cards for us anyway this year (mentioned by 2 of 6) We need to focus on the state of our own business (mentioned by 1 of 6)

M&A Activity in the 2017-Jan 2020 Period 45 Biopharma M&A Activity by Type of Buyer, 2017-Jan 30, 2020 ($millions) Large pharma comprises 86% of the M&A dollar value in the pharmaceutical sector. More than half of this volume has been in oncology and neurology. Large pharma acquisitions tend to be motivated by: 1. 2. 3. Replacement of revenue after patent expirations (late stage / commercial) Missing pipeline in areas they are already in (early to mid-stage) Want to build new areas (e.g., enter gene therapy or cell therapy) Mid-cap companies like Alexion, Astellas, Otsuka and Vertex are also highly acquisitive but tend to have smaller budgets than big pharma. In total, companies ranked 21-50 accounted for 6% of deal volume. Source: Torreya analysis of its internal M&A database. Transactions with value < $10mm excluded.

Predictions for M&A After the COVID-19 Pandemic 46 High M&A volume in precision oncology likely High M&A volume in novel therapeutics for genetic disease likely, especially in neurology Medium M&A volume in immuno-oncology with a focus on novel targets and game-changing cell therapy Medium M&A volume in immunology, eye, kidney and neuro Other therapeutic areas will see less volume Late stage assets with differentiation and outstanding efficacy against real medical need always in demand We have spoken to the great majority of large pharma acquirors in the last few quarters about their M&A “wish lists” and intentions. Discussions in the last month have confirmed that these interests remain, if anything, stronger today. Based on these discussions our predictions for biopharma M&A are as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6

This resulted in the table at right which shows TA’s where there are lot of buyers and few sellers and vice- versa. The biggest imbalances favoring sellers are in renal, precision oncology, hospital products, hematology, genetically targeted neuroscience, innovative women’s health, innovative dermatology and fibrosis. The areas of most intense buyer interest are precision oncology (e.g., the next Loxo) and genetic medicine in serious neurologic disease (e.g., the next AveXis).

Covid-19 Cases in Japan and Impact on Pharma Deals On April 20, Japan’s COVID-19 infections totaled 11,463 with 184 deaths, inclusive of those detected at the cruise ship. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared a state of emergency on April 8 for all 47 prefectures and asked the public to reduce person- to-person contact by 70 to 80 percent to contain the pandemic. However, it has turned out only 40%-50% reduction occurred on April 20 because a) most small-mid size companies can’t afford portable workstations and b) small-mid size shops refuse to close because no government subsidy is yet to be guaranteed. Source: Ministry of Health, Labor & Welfare, April 20, 2020 56 Total infected Japanese patients as of April 20, 2020 Pharma companies have generally become more adapted to ‘work- from-home’ practices than other industries. Big companies have no change in speed, but smaller size companies have become slower in responding. The latter companies have traditionally relied on face to face decision-making through a committee system and may find it difficult in making larger licensing and/or M&A decisions.

The alliance will begin immediately with the investigational development of one, unbranded anti-SARS-CoV-2 polyclonal hyperimmune immunoglobulin medicine with the potential to treat individuals with serious complications from COVID-19. “Unprecedented times call for bold moves,” said Julie Kim, President of Plasma-Derived Therapies Business Unit, Takeda. “We collectively agree that by collaborating and bringing industry resources together, we could accelerate bringing a potential therapy to market as well as increase the potential supply. We invite companies and institutions focusing on plasma to support or join our alliance.” “Leaders lead during uncertainty. There is no question that we are all experiencing the impact of COVID-19,” said Bill Mezzanotte, CSL Behring’s Executive Vice President and Head of Research and Development. “This effort aims to accelerate a reliable, scalable and sustainable option for caregivers to treat patients suffering from the impact of COVID-19. In addition to pooling industry resources, we will also collaborate with government and academic efforts as a single alliance whenever we can, including important activities like clinical trials. This will make it more efficient in these hectic times for these stakeholders as well.”

Covid-19 Cases in China and Pharma Deal Activity • • • • Our data show that China deal volume through April 15th is at a record dollar volume level and close to a record in terms of deal count. This seems hard to explain because China as a country was basically shut down for much of Q1. Interestingly, when one delves into the data the following becomes apparent: The first day with more than 1,000 new cases of COVID-19 was Jan 28, 2020. The last day with more than 1,000 new cases was Feb 22nd, 2020. Following this day, China remained with enforced social distancing for another two to three weeks. From Jan 27th to March 4th, 2020 there were no deal announcements out of China. And more than half of new announcements have come in just the last four weeks. We think this is quite interesting as it may foreshadow what is to come in the M&A market in the rest of the world. Once it is politically and logistically practical to carry out M&A, we think this activity will resume at levels close to where it previously was. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 - 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 Jan-20 Feb-20 Mar-20 Apr-20 Number of Inbound License Deals WHO Count of New COVID-19 Cases in China COVID-19 Pandemic Stopped Deal Activity in China Number of New COVID-19 Cases Number of Inbound Pharma Licensing Deals Market Open Market Closed 63 Market Reopened From Jan 27th to March 4th of this year there were no China licensing deals.

Rapid Increase in Telehealth Utilization in Recent Months 66 United States IQVIA notes that usage of telehealth rose by 14 times from the January/February time period to the first week of April 2020.* We saw particularly high usage of telemedicine for psychiatric, rheumatic and endocrinology. U.S. prescription volume has been held up, to some degree, by telemedicine. We have gone from a national average of 79 million new prescriptions weekly to around 71 million new prescriptions. Europe and Asia Vasileios Nittas, Professor of Epidemiology, University of Zurich (April 7, 2020):# “Telehealth services are rapidly becoming a major force in the effort to reduce healthcare-related COVID-19 transmissions, and ultimately protecting our health personnel. The effectiveness of telemedicine has been promising for many health areas, including diabetic care, dermatology and cardiology; allowing for high-quality remote care, while saving time and valuable physical space.” Rockwell and Gilroy (April 2020): “Many European Union countries and countries in Asia have expanded laws and regulations to permit greater adoption of telemedicine systems…” * IQVIA, “Monitoring the Impact of COVID-19 on the Pharmaceutical Market,” April 17, 2020 (www.iqvia.com) # When eHealth goes viral: The strengths and weaknesses of health tech during COVID-19, mobihealthnews, April 7, 2020 (https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/europe/when-ehealth- goes-viral-strengths-and-weaknesses-health-tech-during-covid-19).

Summary and a Look to the Future 70

Summary 71 COVID-19 Course As we write this report we are seeing new cases of COVID-19 start to decline for the first time around the world. The time period to achieve the effects of social distancing has been longer in Europe and North America than in China, reflecting differences in governance systems. The time required to fully eradicate the threat of COVID-19 to humanity is unknown. But it appears likely that business activities will resume to some extent in most countries by Summer of 2020 if not sooner. This will depend on the strength of policymakers’ resolve and compliance with social distancing by country. Economic Impact Despite massive stimulus measures taken in Europe and the United States, it is expected that GDP will show a severe decline in Q1 and Q2 2020. There will be some instability in the system going forward but a strong economic recovery in the latter half of 2020 looks increasingly likely. This is not assured to be smooth by any means as real shocks have taken place. The stock market in recent weeks has been predicting a strong recovery. Historically, the stock market has been a good forward predictor of economic activity. China provides forward signs of what we can expect. The Chinese economy suffered greatly in Q1 2020 and is showing gradual signs of recovery as we write this report in mid-April 2020. Pharma / Healthcare Sector Revenues in the pharma sector will be impacted along with the rest of the economy. Patients have slowed new starts and physicians have been focused on those afflicted with COVID-19. Amidst the pandemic, the pharma sector has stepped up. We count more than 50 programs started to help treat the disease. Every major global pharma has undertaken initiatives to help society with the COVID-19 crisis, in many cases, diverting significant R&D resources to development of new vaccines and antivirals for COVID-19. Many have also made medicines available to patients in this time at concessionary prices. Others have donated supplies of key drugs such as hydroxychloroquine to governments at little to zero cost.

Summary of Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Biopharma Financing and Deal Environment Based on analysis in this report, we expect the economy to take some time to fully recover, while the biotech market has regained lost ground rapidly. Using history as a guide, we expect to see an increase in follow-ons, followed by a fuller recovery of the IPO market. The debt market will take some time to come back as many healthcare credit funds have investment in commercial stage companies that have been severely impacted by social distancing policies. We see the M&A market as likely to pick up significantly in the next quarter. We also expect regional and global licensing activity to remain robust. We are cautiously optimistic about the outlook for markets going forward. We see the credit markets and the IPO market as being most likely to be slow in recovery. We see the M&A and follow-on equity markets as likely to pick up within a quarter or two. 72

Looking to the Future 73 History also teaches us that major economic disruptions can have lasting economic effects. While the episode should be short in historical terms, we believe that there will be important effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated policy response. Our best guess as to what these might be includes the following:

Looking to the Future (continued) Supply Chain Adjustment 74 As mentioned in this report, the COVID pandemic has highlighted issues with long cross-border supply chains for inputs to medicine manufacture including starting material, excipients, API and formulations. We expect to see greater redundancy get built into the supply chain over time. We also expect to see greater local production of pharmaceutical inputs and products for essential medicines. We expect to see groups around the world that are focused on medicine stockpiling (e.g., CivicaRx) become more important and gain resources.
