Total Specialty Market Opportunity of ~$100 Million Initiation on a new ART still causes diarrhea 15% of the time >50% of the U.S. HIV population is aging, and living with the virus in their gut for 10+ years, causing chronic diarrhea Commercial manufacturing in place with brand new facility We believe the only difference between current Mytesi™ prescribers and non-prescribers is awareness. If the ~2,000 high prescribing HIV specialists prescribe at the same rate as known prescribers, market opportunity of >~$100M in sales could be achieved. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Mytesi™ (crofelemer 125mg delayed-release tablets) is an antidiarrheal indicated for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Mytesi™ is not indicated for the treatment of infectious diarrhea. Rule out infectious etiologies of diarrhea before starting Mytesi™. If infectious etiologies are not considered, there is a risk that patients with infectious etiologies will not receive the appropriate therapy and their disease may worsen. In clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions occurring at a rate greater than placebo were upper respiratory tract infection (5.7%), bronchitis (3.9%), cough (3.5%), flatulence (3.1%), and increased bilirubin (3.1%).

Horses on treatment with Equilevia™ had higher average winnings as a percent of purse in races during the study treatment period compared with the period in which they raced prior to the study. Horses on placebo or on the positive control (Merial’s GASTROGARD® product) had a reduction in their average winnings. Horses on treatment with Equilevia™ had higher average total dollar winnings. Horses on placebo had a reduction in total earnings, while horses on GASTROGARD® had essentially no change in earnings. When analyzing data according to whether or not a horse finished a race in the top 3 or in the top 5, there was also an improvement seen for horses treated with Equilevia™.

In adult HIV patients on ART with non-infectious diarrhea Mytesi™ (crofelemer) provides symptomatic relief of diarrhea so it no longer controls your day. • The only anti-diarrheal studied in and FDA-approved for relief of diarrhea in HIV+ patients • Treats diarrhea differently by normalizing the flow of water in the GI tract • Minimally absorbed, with plasma concentrations below the level of detection • No clinically relevant drug-drug interactions • No effect on viral load or CD4 counts • In clinical trials, adverse events with Mytesi were comparable to or lower than with placebo Indication MYTESI™ is an antidiarrheal indicated for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy. Important Safety Information about MYTESI MYTESI™ is not indicated for the treatment of infectious diarrhea. Rule out infectious etiologies of diarrhea before starting MYTESI. If infectious etiologies are not considered, there is a risk that patients with infectious etiologies will not receive the appropriate therapy and their disease may worsen.

An Advanced New Product That Inhibits* Fluid Loss at the Cellular Level Neonorm™ is an advanced non-drug product that operates at the cellular level to inhibit the flow of fluids into the intestines—the location where vital fluids leave the body during diarrhea or scours. It is not an electrolyte or a nutritional supplement. A Rich History of Medicinal Use The standardized botanical extract in Neonorm™ is sustainably derived from the Amazonian tree species, Croton lechleri, and has a rich history of medicinal use by indigenous peoples in the Northwestern Amazon rainforests of South America. The Mechanism of Action is Well Documented Neonorm acts as a chloride channel blocker, normalizing water flow into the intestines. Acts Directly on Electrolyte Imbalances, the Root Cause of Secretory Diarrhea A Natural, Plant-Based Product Comprised of a standardized botanical extract derived from the Croton lechleri tree. Get Right to the Heart of the Problem Normalizes water flow into the intestines and can help reduce the severity of the diarrhea. *Figure 1: Schematic of Neonorm inhibition of fluid loss 1 Effect of crofelemer extract on severity and consistency of experimentally induced enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrhea in newborn Holstein calves.

Avoid Dehydration A New Non-Drug Anti-Diarrheal The Problem: Dehydration from scours, diarrhea, or other digestive problems poses a significant threat to the health and future productivity of newborn calves, and significantly increases the expenses and labor required to care for the animals. Current products cannot help calves retain fluids quickly enough to avoid severe dehydration—the ultimate goal in Tackles Foal Diarrhea At The Source Neonorm Foal acts on the root cause of secretory diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance at the gut level. Neonorm Foal is not a symptomatic absorbent, electrolyte or antibiotic. It is a clinically tested, first-in-class product. "Neonorm is an EXCELLENT product. I’m relying on it for foals with diarrhea, as do a number of my colleagues—with positive results." managing scours. The Solution: Neonorm Calf is a new product to help dairies and calf farms proactively retain fluid in calves—helping the animals avoid debilitating, dangerous levels of dehydration. Pedro De Pedro, DVM, MS, DACVIM-LAM Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine Clinically Proven A study evaluating the effect of Neonorm Calf on diarrhea in newborn calves was published in Journal of Dairy Science, the official, peer-reviewed journal of the American Dairy Science Association, in 20151. The study was conducted by researchers from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (Cornell). “I am pretty cautious about recommending any product but this one definitely gets five stars. I ordered Neonorm Foal just as our new filly was born. Sure enough, she came down with a bad case of foal diarrhea. Initially, I tried the usual vet recommendations and nothing seemed to work. Then, the Neonorm Foal product arrived in the mail. She started to get better after the first dose and now with the third dose the diarrhea is gone. I've never had a foal diarrhea product work this fast or this well.
