reimbursement activities at both CCG and Formulary levels
– German launch is imminent and attractive pricing of €64/pack achieved without HTA review,
further supporting high value proposition of Feraccru for stakeholders
– Licensing: actively pursuing discussions in a number of non-core markets
• Feraccru’s further clinical development progressing as plan in both phase 3 studies
• Significant value enhancement achieved through granting of composition of matter patent
• Financial performance in line with expectations
• Identifying opportunities that would more rapidly build a presence/revenues in key
geographies or provide a broader product portfolio

Appendix

Oral Iron Tolerant
Able to take oral ferrous iron products (OFP)
Many patients are intolerant of OFP, especially those with other diseases (e.g. IBD, CKD)
Intravenous Iron (IV)
Simple oral administration
Efficient absorption
Rapid IV-like effect
Placebo-like safety
More cost effective
Iron directly into the blood But:
– Allergic reactions– Iron overload– Hospital only– Resuscitation team required– High overall cost
No patients in long term study of Feraccru required interventional IV therapy
• IDA arises in diseases like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (“IBD”), Chronic Kidney Disease (“CKD”), Congestive Heart Failure (“CHF”) and in women with excessive uterine bleeding etc.
• Failure to treat leads to lethargy as well as much more serious consequences (e.g. immune & heart complications)
Feraccru overview A compelling alternative to IV iron
Fe2+

Insoluble complexes + Radicals
Gut damage side effects
Fe3+ cannot be oxidised – no radicals
Iron remains soluble

Duration of treatment (weeks)Feraccru Placebo
• Phase III study in 128 patients
• A clinically relevant haemoglobin (Hb) increase isconsidered to be 1g/dL
– Feraccru delivered highly relevant and rapid 2.3g/dLrise inside 12 weeks with 1g/dL in only 4 weeks
23
P < 0.0001
By wk-12 mean Hb of the treated group had normalised
Long term compliance levels of 97%
With chronic therapy patients’ anaemia did not recurand iron indices continued to improve
Ongoing Feraccru therapy may prevent need for IV iron
Majority of adverse events were related to IBD status
Feraccru-treated patients had fewer adverse events thanplacebo-treated patients
Neither short or long-term Feraccru therapy lead to ironoverload

Market expansion• Dissatisfied patients have access to well
tolerated oral therapy• Increasing capacity in hospital clinics
increases access to untreated patients
2nd line treatment• Feraccru is first option for Ferrous
intolerant patients in treatment guidelines
• Reduces the requirement for IV therapy
Switch & step down• Capacity limits help switch from IV to
Feraccru• Patients can be sent home with Feraccru
to continue treatment of anaemia
Feraccru: Access to full IDA patient poolFeraccru has a significantly greater market potential than current IV therapy
Note (1): GFK market research 2015 25
Feraccru: Pricing StrategyPrice at IV iron levels; health system saves administration cost
Payer research is supportive of Feraccru’s positioning at a price broadly comparable with Ferinject (IV) drug pricing, with significant overall savings to the payers after taking account of total cost
In addition to the drug cost for IV iron there are additional costs associated with administration
– requires hospital administration due to risk of anaphylaxis
Payers have recognised the significant cost of administration
– evidenced by high approved prices for Ferinject vs Venofer

PT20 pivotal phase IIb study
Results
• Primary endpoint met with a p value of <0.001
• All 4 doses reduced serum phosphate levels
• Data suggests possibility of reduced pill burden in
phase III and of aggressively dosing resistant
patients
• Ferritin score (measurement of iron status) after 2
weeks of IV iron withdrawal suggests PT20 positively
impacts iron levels as well as binding phosphate
– will need to be explored further in phase III
study using suitable endpoints
– if confirmed, will provide additional USP for
PT20 launch
Design
• Conducted in 20 US dialysis centres
• Randomised study of 4 fixed dose levels of PT20 and
placebo
• 153 randomised subjects, study powered >90%
Difference in Ferritin scores after removing IV iron for 14 days

Pricing is attractive
• New entrants have achieved broadly comparable pricing to market leading products
• Price will likely play a role in the uptake of PT20 given increasing genericisation of older products

PT40 presents an attractive near-term partnering opportunity
Market opportunity
• >£220m Venofer sales in US & Europe1
• FDA has attempted to fast-track the development of generics by issuing Guidance on the studies necessary to register an iron sucrose in America
• No generic Venofer is available, there are iron sucrose similars in some European and Indo-Asian markets, but not recognised as true generics
The challenge
• Ill-defined nature of Venofer’s amorphous iron core and its complex organic shell
• Failure to replicate these precisely results in divergent physicochemical behaviour and consequently disparate clinical profile
• Interactions with FDA have confirmed what would be necessary to seek an ANDA for PT40
1 IMS data 2012

PT40
• The Medical Research Council’s Biomineral Research (BMR) group are experts in the synthesis of nanoparticulate iron oxides
• BMR have developed proprietary in-house assays to characterise Venofer’s complex
• Coupling these techniques with a sequential synthetic approach has led to a highly scaleable and tuneable process suitable for manufacturing a genuine iron sucrose generic to target the US market
