© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 11 Tonmya : a Potential Bedtime Treatment for PTSD First investigational new drug to show treatment effect in military - related PTSD in two potential pivotal efficacy studies • Phase 2 study (P201/ AtEase ) showed Tonmya 5.6 mg had a strong signal of treatment effect at Week 12 as measured by CAPS - 5 1 • Phase 3 study (P301/HONOR) provided evidence of effectiveness as early as 4 weeks after treatment but diminished over time due to high placebo response − Retrospective analysis showed persistent effectiveness at Week 12 in subgroup with Time Since Trauma ≤9 years from screening • Both studies can be used as supportive evidence of efficacy and safety for Tonmya NDA submission • No serious or unexpected adverse events related to Tonmya were reported Phase 3 study (P302/RECOVERY) initiated in March 2019 and currently enrolling 1 CAPS - 5 = Clinician - Administered PTSD Scale for DSM - 5
© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 12 Potential Therapeutic Advantages of Tonmya Tonmya is believed to treat PTSD by improving sleep quality • The brain naturally processes memories during sleep • PTSD sufferers’ emotionally charged memories disturb sleep and disrupt the natural processing of memories during sleep • Tonmya is believed to normalize memory processing and facilitate extinction consolidation (breaking the link between “triggers” and PTSD symptoms) Tonmya is NEITHER a benzodiazepine nor a narcotic • The active ingredient of Tonmya , cyclobenzaprine, does NOT interact with the same receptors as traditional hypnotic sleep drugs associated with retrograde amnesia; is NOT an opiate Tonmya is non - addictive • Cyclobenzaprine is the active ingredient of an orally ingested immediate release tablet (Flexeril ® ), approved 40 years ago • Flexeril’s current labeling indicates no abuse and dependence concern at higher doses than Tonmya ( 15 - 30 mg/day v. 5.6 mg/day ); NDA can be filed without drug abuse and dependency assessment studies Once - daily sublingual dose taken at bedtime enhances patient adherence

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 28 TNX - 102 SL for Fibromyalgia: F301 Study Results and Program Updates Safety results: • Good tolerability and low rates of systemic AEs. • The most common AEs were generally mild and transient events related to the sublingual administration of the study drug: • hypoaesthesia (tongue or oral numbness) • glossodynia (burning sensation or other tongue discomfort) • oral paraesthesias (tingling sensations) • abnormal product taste (bitter or noticeable taste) • The severity and incidence of oral AE are similar to those reported in our PTSD studies using TNX - 102 SL 5.6 mg. Conclusion: • The promising results and highly relevant efficacy findings support further investigation of TNX - 102 SL 5.6 mg (2 x 2.8 mg tablets) as a chronic treatment for FM. Program updates: • Clear guidance and support received from FDA* to advance the FM program. The long - term safety exposure data from the PTSD program may support the fibromyalgia NDA*. • TNX - 102 SL 5.6 mg (2 x 2.8 mg tablets) will be studied in new Phase 3 study to support product registration *April 2019 FDA meeting minutes

© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 32 About TNX - 1300 Produced through rDNA technology in non - disease - producing strain of E. coli. • Cocaine Esterase ( CocE ) was identified in bacteria ( Rhodococcus ) that use cocaine as its sole source of carbon and nitrogen and that grow in soil surrounding coca plants 1 • The gene encoding CocE was identified and the protein was extensively characterized 1 - 3 • CocE catalyzes the breakdown of cocaine into metabolite ecgonine methyl ester and benzoic acid • Wild - type CocE is unstable at body temperature, so targeted mutations were introduced in the CocE gene and resulted in the T172R/G173Q Double - Mutant CocE , which is active for approximately 6 hours at body temperature 4 1 Bresler MM et al, Appl Environ Microbiol. 2000. 66(3):904 - 8. 2 Larsen NA et al, Nat Struct Biol. 2002. 9(1):17 - 21. 3 Turner JM et al, Biochemistry. 2002. 41(41):12297 - 307. 4 Gao D et al, Mol Pharmacol . 2009. 75(2):318 - 23.
© 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. 33 About Cocaine and Cocaine Intoxication Cocaine: an illegal recreational drug taken for its pleasurable effects and associated euphoria. • Cocaine blocks the reuptake of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) in the CNS • Results in accumulation of DA within the synapse and amplifies DA signaling • Creates positive feeling but with intense use of cocaine, results in cocaine craving • High potential for abuse/addiction (dependence), and risk of cocaine intoxication. Cocaine intoxication: deleterious effects on the body, especially cardiovascular system. • Common symptoms include tachyarrhythmias and elevated blood pressure, either of which can be life - threatening. • Known or suspected cocaine intoxication cases are sent immediately to the emergency department, preferably by ambulance in case cardiac arrest occurs during transit.
Cocaine Intoxication Is the Result of Cocaine’s Activity at Multiple Targets 1. Brim et al. Mol Pharmacol . 2011. Psychosis Seizures Arrythmia Hypertension Hyperthermia The effects of cocaine intoxication include 1 : In addition to dopamine transporters, cocaine also blocks other targets 1 Dopamine transporter Norepinephrine transporter Cardiac sodium channel Cocaine Intoxication Dopamine Norepinephrine Channel function
