Letter from the CEO
The third quarter of 2024 marked some of the most significant milestones in the company's history. For our focus project in hair growth, Follicopeptide, we had the pleasure of announcing both its official cosmetic ingredient (INCI) name, and a development agreement with Scandinavian Biolabs aimed at commercialising a new premium hair growth product. This collaboration provides us with invaluable insights into product, pricing, and market applications that can be applied to the global commercialisation of Follicopeptide. Preparations for the launch of Follicopeptide are progressing as planned, with an expected launch in the second half of 2025.

The TO3 warrant was exercised during the quarter, resulting in sufficient capital for continuing the preparations of Follicopeptide for launch and providing us with essential resilience in our business development efforts. The capital from TO3 is expected to cover our needs through most of 2025, depending on investment decisions in production in particular.

Thanks to our advanced expertise in formulations, combined with diligent work, we entered into an exclusive agreement with the University of Bradford to commercialise an entire platform of innovative pigmentation peptides. This is a major step in expanding our cosmetics business, and we are highly enthusiastic about the opportunities this platform brings.

One of the peptides, NPP-4, which has demonstrated particularly unique properties for skin pigmentation and has advanced furthest in the development of our pigmentation peptides, was selected as a new project within the company. Shortly afterwards, we established our first partnership to develop NPP-4 into a finished product, and development work is now well underway, with our partner covering the majority of the costs. We expect to launch the finished product as early as 2026. Interest in NPP-4 is strong from multiple sources, confirming that we have another significant asset in our cosmetic product portfolio.

On the research side, we reached another major milestone with the publication of groundbreaking results for FOL026, our drug candidate for myocardial infarction, further strengthening the project.

Another milestone in the company's growth is the dual-listing of our share on Börse Stuttgart, providing us with access to a wider base of international investors.

It is immensely gratifying and satisfying to summarise the third quarter of 2024 and to reflect on the significant building blocks we have added, which bring us closer to our goal of building a successful biotech company.

I would like to close by extending a heartfelt thank you to my colleagues at Coegin Pharma, whose dedication and high level of expertise make this exciting journey possible, as well as to you, our shareholders, for your trust, demonstrated by the positive outcome of the TO3 warrant.
