Forward-looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, the initiation, timing and submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a New Drug Application (NDA) for tebipenem HBr and the potential approval of tebipenem HBr by the FDA; future commercialization, the potential number of patients who could be treated by tebipenem HBr and market demand for tebipenem HBr generally; expected broad access across payer channels for tebipenem HBr; the expected pricing of tebipenem HBr and the anticipated shift from intravenous to oral administration; the initiation, timing, progress and results of the Company’s preclinical studies and clinical trials and its research and development programs, including management’s assessment of such results; the timing of the availability of data from the Company’s clinical trials; the timing of the Company’s filings with regulatory agencies; product candidate benefits; competitive position; business strategies; objectives of management; potential growth opportunities; potential market size; reimbursement matters; possible or assumed future results of operations; projected costs; and the Company’s cash forecast and the availability of additional non-dilutive funding from governmental agencies beyond any initially funded awards. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “aim,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intent,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including: the Company’s ability to timely complete related Phase 1 trials for NDA submission, taking into account the possible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; the Company’s need for additional funding; the lengthy, expensive, and uncertain process of clinical drug development; the Company’s reliance on third parties to manufacture, develop, and commercialize its product candidates, if approved; the ability to develop and commercialize the Company’s product candidates, if approved; the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; the Company’s ability to retain key personnel and to manage its growth; whether results obtained in preclinical studies and clinical trials will be indicative of results obtained in future clinical trials and whether preliminary data from the Company’s clinical trials will be predictive of final results from such trials; whether the Company’s product candidates will advance through the preclinical development and clinical trial process on a timely basis, or at all, taking into account such factors as the effects of possible regulatory delays, slower than anticipated patient enrollment, manufacturing challenges, clinical trial design, clinical data requirements and clinical outcomes; whether the results of such clinical trials will warrant submission for approval from the FDA or equivalent foreign regulatory agencies; decisions made by the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory agencies with respect to the development and commercialization of the Company’s product candidates; the commercial potential of the Company’s product candidates; the Company’s ability to obtain adequate third-party reimbursement for its product candidates; whether the FDA will accept a rolling NDA submission with respect to tebipenem HBr; whether the Company will satisfy all of the pre-conditions to receipt of the development milestone payment under its agreement with Everest Medicines; whether BARDA elects to exercise its second option under the Company’s agreement with BARDA; the Company’s ability to implement its strategic plans; the Company’s ability to obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property and other proprietary rights for its product candidates; the risks and uncertainties related to market conditions; whether the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to fund its continuing operations for the periods and/or trials anticipated; and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and risks described in other filings the Company may make with the SEC in the future. The forward-looking statements included in this presentation represent the Company’s views as of the date of this presentation. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.

Tebipenem HBr Intended to Treat a Large and Existing UTI Population Katrina, college student at the University of Kansas, experienced “a U.T.I. that did not respond to three different rounds of antibiotics.” “It got so bad that I was out of school for months and had to get a medical withdrawal,” she said. Hospital Avoidance Stay Home Timothy, a medical student, was hospitalized with E. coli that was highly resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics.

Unmet Need Identified by Healthcare Providers; Expect Broad Access Across Payer Channels HCP identify carbapenems as the agent of choice for our target patients HCPs and Payers see value of tebipenem HBr Interactions with 100+ Health Care Professionals and 150M Payer Lives There is high agreement that relapsed, failed cUTI patients could be treated at home Payers expect to broadly cover tebipenem HBr due to unmet need for new oral therapy “We need more drugs for UTI beyond Macrobid for lower UTI, Keflex and Cipro. There is a lot of resistance to FQ, so if we want an oral, we need something new.” - Urologist “Switching to PO would be far preferable to a PICC and Home Health or having them return to an infusion center...” - KOL “We don’t have any oral carbapenems now to send them home. This would shorten length of stay markedly and it covers ESBLs for hospital and community!” – Hospitalist “The value proposition here is that you can avoid using the IV which I think certainly has some clinical benefit and may be even some economic benefit as well.”- National Payer Source:: IQVIA 2019; Precision Payer Landscape Research 2020; Key Opinion Leader Interviews, 2020
