12 FemaSeed® Localized Artificial Insemination Developing the first and only first-line approach designed to deliver sperm directly where conception occurs Designed to be more affordable than assisted reproduction Companion Diagnostics FemVue® and FemCath™ Includes first in-office ultrasound diagnosis of fallopian tubes for infertility Infertility Focused Portfolio
Infertility: Unmet Need (U.S. only) >10M women struggle with infertility ~ 40-50% is due to male factor Despite advancements, there have been no new affordable options in decades. 13 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/key_statistics/i-keystat.htm Kumar N, et al. (2015) Trends of male factor infertility, an important cause of infertility: A review of literature. J Hum Reprod Sci. 8(4): 191–196. doi: 10.4103/0974-1208.170370: 10.4103/0974-1208.170370. Sperm counts worldwide have declined by >50%
FemaSeed: Low Cost for Front-End of Infertility Treatment FemaSeed $$ Traditional IUI $ IVF/ ICSI* $$$$$ Artificial Insemination ✔ ✔ Directed sperm delivery (into fallopian tube where conception occurs) ✔ No ovulation stimulation optional optional No embryo transfer ✔ ✔ Minimal training ✔ ✔ 14 For couples with male infertility, treatment with IVF/ ICSI is advised given the low success rates for IUI *CDC (2016), >90% of couples with male factor infertility use Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
FemaSeed Localized Directional Insemination in Development There’s been limited advancements and continuous demand for less costly options First and only approach delivering sperm directly where conception occurs in the fallopian tube 15 Undirected sperm delivery to cavity (IUI) is first-line treatment despite low success rates
Summary: Study Design: prospective, multi-center, unblinded, single arm Study Population: male factor infertility Sample Size: up to 214 subjects contributing 214 FemaSeed cycles Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Pregnancy Rate New Trial Design to Expedite Clinical Program Advancement FemaSeed de Novo Clinical Trial for Market Approval Pivotal Trial(IDE Approved October 2022) 16 To Evaluate Safety and Effectiveness
The Unmet Need in Infertility 17 For more than 20 years, current approaches to infertility treatment have been limited during the initial stage of therapeutic care, but with the advancement of FemaSeed, we believe a next generation intrauterine procedure may have the opportunity to truly change this traditional paradigm. - Michael Glassner, MD Founding Partner and Medical Director of Main Line Fertility & Reproductive Medicine
Companion Diagnostics: Test Prior to Infertility Treatments, including FemaSeed Diagnostic performed prior to any infertility procedures Can be combined with uterine cavity evaluation (standard of care) On-line training and support available for new customers Physician locator available on patient website Reimbursed using existing codes First In-office, Ultrasound Approach for Fallopian Tube Evaluation Commercially Available: U.S., Japan, and other When paired with FemCath allows for selective tubal evaluation FemVue creates saline-air contrast that travels through the fallopian tube(s) when open 18
FemVue: Compelling Patient Testimonials 19 Being aware that there are many reasons why women have issues conceiving, FemVue is one easy procedure that can assist in finding out why it may have been difficult. As such, I highly recommend any woman who has tried for months or years to conceive to get the FemVue procedure. It is a procedure that will get you immediate results for you and your doctor to discuss the next steps of making your dreams come true. After a month of completing successful medical procedures including FemVue, my husband and I conceived our first child. - FemVue Patient Testimonial - FemVue Patient Testimonial

FemBloc® Permanent Birth Control First and only non-surgical, in-office, permanent birth control option in development with the potential to be the safest and most natural approach at half the cost of the long-standing surgical alternative 21 Contraception Focused Portfolio Companion Diagnostics FemChec® and FemCath™ Includes first in-office ultrasound diagnosis of fallopian tubes for confirmation of procedure success
Since surgical tubal ligation has been performed since the 1880’s and remains the most common option for women who want permanent birth control. Permanent Birth Control Alternatives: Unmet Need (U.S. only) >13M women no longer intend to have children >12M use non-permanent birth control, long-term 800,000 women choose surgical tubal ligation as a form of permanent birth control every year* More than 100 years of stagnant innovation for permanent birth control 22 *Frattarelli 2007

The Unmet Need for Women: Options for Family Planning 28 Although tubal ligation has been performed for over a century, women will benefit from an in-office approach that avoids the risks and discomforts associated with incisions, general anesthesia and surgery. FemBloc may expand much needed options for women seeking permanent contraception. - Paul Blumenthal, MD, MPH Professor Emeritus and Director of the Stanford Program for International Reproductive Education and Services (SPIRES) at Stanford University’s School of Medicine
