Conflict of Interest

Page 3: ISHRS - GNaughton - HSC Clinical Update

Technology Focus: Regeneration

Bioactive human growth factors VEGF KGF Follistatin Stem Cell Factor

Human matrix components

Collagens Laminin GAG Decorin Fibronectin C-propeptide

Histogen’s technology focuses on stimulating a patient’s own stem cells by delivering a proprietary complex of human proteins that have been shown to support stem cell growth and differentiation. This multipotent cell conditioned media has a broad range of applications in both aesthetics and therapeutics:

Current and near-term: Skincare and Cosmetics

First therapeutic, no reimbursement: Hair growth

Second therapeutic: Oncology

Other Opportunities for soluble and insoluble extracellular matrix: Wound care, Device Coating, Bone and Muscle regeneration, Dermal filler 3

• Phase I/II trial design produced 46.5% better results in total hair count than the pilot trial at 12 weeks

• A 10.45% Increase in Mean Total Hair Count over baseline was seen

• The increase in hair count is statistically significant, unlike the pilot trial, at 12 weeks

• Statistically significant increase in terminal hair count, a primary efficacy measure

• An increase in vellus hair count was also seen, supporting the hypothesis that HSC rescues dying follicles, in addition to converting vellus to terminal hairs and increasing the number of hairs per follicle.

Hair Thickness – 12 Weeks An increase in hair thickness density is a result of: 1) An increase in hair count, 2) An increase in the number of terminal hairs and 3) An increase in hair shaft diameter, all of which are important to cosmetic impact.

No indication of toxicity or blood/urine abnormalities in the patient population following both sets of HSC injection. Clinical evaluation of blood serum chemistry, hematology and urinalysis showed no changes from baseline over the course of the treatment. No evidence of toxicity is observed in any of the clinical indicators.

Following the trend, a 25% increase is forecasted for the 48 week timepoint.

12wk 24wk 48wk • HSC injections result in the stimulation of bulge stem cells and the conversion of vellus to terminal hairs

follicles from late telogen to anagen.to result in increased terminal and vellus hairs at the 12 week time point.

• HSC injections are compressing the anagen phase and accelerating the catagen and telogen cycles which explains the decline in terminal and increase in vellus at 24 weeks and subsequent increase in total, terminal, and vellus hairs at week 48.

Age Analysis Unlike current non-surgical treatments, with efficacy limited to younger patients or earlier stages of hair loss, HSC has the potential to expand the hair restoration market by offering a successful option to older patients.

Cosmetically significant results seen in subjects 40-59 years of age in both trials.

Dr. Ziering - Phase I U.S. IRB approved Original Design: • Open Label, safety study • 10 Subjects (5 Female and 5 Male) • Baseline, 6 Week repeat dose

Enrollment: 100% Enrollment 100% of Subjects have completed 6 week Repeat dose 100% of Subjects have re-consented and have had increased volume

40 x 0.1cc injections in the same areas and surrounding areas ~97% of the injectate is retained in the tissue

Amended Design: • Patient consent obtained • Up to 40 intradermal injections (0.1mL each) of HSC in broader treatment area (at the 12 week time point and

again at 18 week time point) • Subjects who have completed amended design will have a total of 120 injections throughout study

15

Safety Update: • No SAEs • All injections well-

tolerated

Treatment: • Up to 20 0.1mL injections of HSC in two treatment

areas at baseline with an additional 20 0.1mL intradermal injections at Week 6.

Local Tolerance

• Subject self assessments (SSA) from IND trial reflect an excellent tolerance for the procedure, with the majority of subjects reporting no discomfort. These results are consistent with those reported in other trials.

• Visual examination for redness, inflammation, swelling or edema continues to show overall excellent safety profile for HSC in all subjects

U.S. Physician sponsored IND- 10 Subjects 5 men, 5 women

• All patients have shown new hair growth by 6 weeks • 9/10 subjects have had 20 injections at baseline and 6 weeks, and achieved safe

passage to 40 injections at 12 and 18 weeks. • 4/10 subjects have completed the study • 4/4 of the subjects that have completed the study all answered that they would

participate in future clinical studies

Responder rate: • 84.6% in Proof of Concept Trial at 24 weeks • 86% in Phase I/II at 24 weeks • 100% in Physician IND trial

Clinical Update Summary

Further analysis of the data suggests a tremendous marketing advantage over other approved treatments, offering a treatment option to those patients that currently have none:

• Regional analysis shows that HSC grows new hair in all regions of the scalp – temporal recession, mid scalp and vertex. (Minoxidil and Propecia do not have positive results in hard-to-treat temporal regions)

• Data shows that men over 40 respond extremely well to HSC, as shown in both Honduras and Philippine trials (current products are most effective in men in their 20s and 30s, in the early stages of hair loss)

• Furthermore, investigator-initiated trial shows great efficacy results in women • HSC continues to have a very strong safety profile, even at 36 weeks
