TRANSCRIPT
.
o An immune-oncology company that has identified a novel receptor—
nfP2X7—that exists in a range of cancers, including lung, breast,
colorectal, and prostate tumors, but is not found on healthy tissue
- drugs directed to the nfP2X7 target may prove effective at
treating cancers with high precision and minimal side effects
o Biosceptre is progressing into pivotal clinical trials with a portfolio of
three anticancer compounds:
(1) BIL03s, a systemic domain antibody to treat blood-based and
solid cancers
(2) BIL06v, a peptide vaccine therapeutic that stimulates the patient’s
own immune system to target nfP2X7 in cancers
(3) BIL010t, a topical antibody treatment targeting nfP2X7 in non-
melanoma skin cancers

What is an EIO?
.
Overview of Biosceptre International (Closely Held)
• Significant R&D is underway in the area of targeted cancer therapies, as they are a cornerstone of precision
medicine. To date, over 30 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), administered either alone or conjugated with a cytotoxic
agent, have been approved by the U.S. FDA to treat cancer.
- Currently available targeted therapies are sold at a high price, yet are often still associated with poor efficacy
and a relatively minor impact at improving quality of life. Should a new, targeted therapeutic prove effective
while demonstrating an excellent safety and efficacy profile, it could capture a significant share of a market
forecast to reach $125 billion by 2020.
• Biosceptre’s highly specific molecular target has been identified on the cell surface of 20+ human cancer tissue types.
• The Company holds 13 issued U.S. patent families as well as a global intellectual property (IP) portfolio that
offers protection out to 2032 and continues to file patent applications. This IP portfolio is believed to enable the
Company to pursue its multi-modality approach with freedom to operate.
• The team leading Biosceptre’s antibody development is experienced in commercial and research services as well as
in developing therapeutic antibodies for use in trials, de-risking scale-up.
• To continue developing its current oncology product candidates, Biosceptre seeks to raise £25 million (~US$32.8
million) via its first institutional financing event.
• The Company is headquartered at the Babraham Research Campus in Babraham, Cambridge (UK)
with offices also in Australia.
.
Experienced Leadership
• A team experienced in product development
• Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Shaun McNulty has over 20 years in major pharma and biotech drug discovery
• Scientific Advisory Board led by
(1) Sir Gregory Winter, a founder of Cambridge Antibody Technology, Domantis, and cofounder of Bicycle
Therapeutics
(2) Professor Terrence Rabbitts, a professor of molecular biology at the University of Oxford
• Clinicians supporting Biosceptre’s trials include
- Professor Gavin Marx (chair of the Section of Oncology at the Sydney Adventist Hospital [Aus.])
- Professor Nick Pavlakis (head of medical oncology, Royal North Shore [Aus.])
- Dr. Bob Li (attending physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering [U.S.]).
• CEO Gavin Currie has significant M&A experience
- Formerly general manager of Creata Ventures, a
family-held investment fund with a strong focus in
biotech
- Previously founded a boutique transaction services
company
Biosceptre’s corporate
headquarters in the Jonas
Webb Building in the UK
.
• nfP2X7 receptor has been shown by Biosceptre to be involved in the proliferation and survival of cancer cells
- It enables cancer cells to avoid experiencing ATP-induced apoptosis (regulated cell death under normal
conditions)
• nfP2X7 can be targeted on its own or in combination with other oncology therapeutics that act on other
biological pathways and targets
• Biosceptre has developed antibodies that precisely target nfP2X7 as it occurs on cancer cells

Oncology Market Opportunities
Over 19 million new cancer cases are forecast to be diagnosed each year by 2025
Market shifting away from cytotoxic and anti-hormonal therapies toward targeted therapies that can block
the spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecules involved in tumor growth and progression
Biosceptre’s product candidates are considered targeted therapies

Increase in Annual Sales of Leading Monoclonal Antibody
(mAb) Products from 2004 to 2013 In 2013, targeted therapies represented 46% of global
oncology sales, up from 11% a decade ago. In clinical
development, the oncology drug pipeline has expanded
by over 60% during the past decade, with approximately
90% of the focus on targeted agents.
The global cancer therapeutics market reported $100
billion in annual sales in 2014 and could reach $147
billion by 2018
Targeted therapies encompass the highest-selling class
of cancer therapeutics
Global mAb sales may reach approximately $94
billion by 2017 and nearly $125 billion by 2020

CLINICAL
• BIL03s (Biosceptre’s lead systemic antibody): seeking Australia’s Therapeutic Goods
Administration (TGA) approval and expects to begin a Phase I trial in 2016
• The BIL06v vaccine: seeking TGA approval and a Phase I trial is due to start in 2017
• Topical BIL010t product: stated an interest in out-licensing this product
.
Intellectual Property
• Biosceptre holds broad intellectual property
13 granted U.S. patents and a global portfolio with protection through 2032
IP protection on the nfP2X7 target until 2022 with additional protection covering
therapeutic intervention until at least 2035
17 additional published U.S. patent applications
• In parallel to its product development programs, Biosceptre has a pipeline of external
development programs through a series of collaborations, where the Company seeks out-
licensing agreements to develop cancer diagnostics and imaging technologies, as well as
veterinary programs, which can benefit from its proprietary position with nfP2X7.
