This presentation contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federalsecurities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties andassumptions that are difficult to predict. The forward looking statements in this presentation include statements about ourbusiness, including commercialization plans and potential markets for our products and product candidates, clinical trials,potential indications for our product candidates, development timelines, regulatory timelines and future events that have not yetoccurred. Pharmaceutical and medical device development inherently involves significant risks and uncertainties, including therisks outlined in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in“Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our actual resultsmay differ materially from our expectations due to these risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, our dependenceon the success of our lead product candidate Neutrolin, and factors relating to commercialization and regulatory approvalthereof; unpredictability of the size of the markets for, and market acceptance of Neutrolin; the cost, timing and results of theongoing and planned Phase 3 trials for Neutrolin in the U.S.; our need for and ability to raise sufficient capital; our ability toidentify and enter into strategic transactions; intellectual property protection; retaining our stock’s listing on the NYSEAmerican; research and development activities; competition; industry environment, and other matters. Any forward-lookingstatements included in this presentation are based on information available to us on the date of this presentation. Weundertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, futureevents or otherwise.

• 250,000 CRBSIs per year in the U.S.

• Significant cost to the healthcare system

• Microbial biofilms responsible for majority of CRBSI

• Bacteria are significantly more resistant to antibiotics within a biofilm

• Mortality rate: 12-25%

Prevents and reduces bloodstream infection• Bacteria and fungi• Antibiotic-resistant strains• No reported resistance in a clinical setting

Inhibits peptide crosslinking in microbial cell walls

Prevents microbial colonization and biofilm formation inside catheter

Neutralizes endotoxins, exotoxins and lipopolysaccharides released by bacteria

Reduces thrombosis; optimizes catheter patency and reduces expensive catheter complications

Neutrolin®:Non-antibioticAnti-InfectivetoPreventCRBSI

Lack of Microbial Resistance:

• Adaptation of microorganisms to taurolidinehas not yet emerged as a factor in the pathogenesis of CRBSI

• Bacterial resistance has not been reported, as taurolidine’s mode of action resembles a anti-infective rather than an antibiotic

• Broadly active against bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant MRSA, VISA, VRSA, ORSA and VRE

Spectrum of Coverage:

• Gram positive microorganisms:§ Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus

species and Staphylococcus aureus

• Gram negative microorganisms:§ Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli

and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

• Clinically relevant fungi:§ Candida albicans and Aspergillus
