Corporate and investment summary

Overuse of antibiotics has led to antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Antibiotic resistant bacteria or superbugs have become a major world health issue.

Recce is focused on developing a new class of synthetic anti-bacterials with a broad spectrum of activity against antibiotic resistant

bacteria.

Recce is also investigating the use of these compounds in the treatment of some cancers and viruses.

Recce was founded on the work of former Johnson & Johnson Australia Executive Director and Chief Research Executive

Dr Graham Melrose.

Based in Sydney with offices in the United States and research facilities in Sydney, NSW and Perth, Western Australia.

Business financed after successful oversubscribed listing on ASX in January 2016.

Recce’s focus is the scale-up of manufacturing and the preparation of a submission to the US FDA for first human studies.

Lead RECCE® 327 compound

RECCE® 327 is our lead synthetic antibiotic candidate in pre-clinical development

Extensive pre-clinical studies have demonstrated positive in-vitro (in the lab) and in-vivo (in animals) to date:

• Demonstrates anti-infective properties against S. aureus and E. coli.

• Important for addressing the rise of antibiotic resistant superbugs and tackling the treatment of bacterial sepsis and gastritis.

Sepsis

• “Sepsis affects over 26 million people worldwide each year - one third die”

• “It is the largest killer of children and new-born infants in the world”

• “Sepsis is increasing at an annual rate of 8-13%”

• “In the United States, sepsis kills more people than colon cancer,

breast cancer and HIV/AIDS combined”

“Probability of life-survival recedes 6% for each hour-delay in treatment”

This limitation makes the choice of antibiotic against sepsis,

dangerous guess-work. RECCE® antibiotics kill ALL – no guess-

• Commercial antibiotics are naturally derived – superbugs to them have been forming for millenniums – and will continue to

do so

A supportive legislative and financial landscape

globally for new antibiotics

16

The global need for new antibiotics is urgent and a major economic and social issue.

The rapid development of new antibiotics is supported by a range of initiatives by governments and private investors globally.

Legislation:

• US Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act to promote development of new antibiotics

• Extra five years patent exclusivity to new antibiotics that treat serious or life-threatening illnesses without generic

competition

• US FDA has created an Antibacterial Drug Development Task Force to support development of new drugs.

Non-dilutive grants:

• The US Biomedical Advanced Research & Development Agency (BARDA) Broad Spectrum Antimicrobials program

• European Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) New Drugs For Bad Bugs (ND4BB) program

• Both provide direct financial support to nearly 20 percent of all antibiotics currently under development globally.

• CARB-X is a public-private partnership focused on preclinical discovery and development of new antimicrobial products.

CARB-X funds come from the US government and a public-private initiative in the United Kingdom.

• US$44 million in first year and up to $350 million in the next five years in grants to companies developing new antibiotics

and diagnostics.

Supportive legislative and financial landscape

17

Economics:

• Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron commissioned a report analysing the economic and social costs of the problem

and propose concrete actions to tackle it internationally.

• The O’Neil Review on Antimicrobial Resistance published in 2015 made a number of recommendations including the need

to support and reward innovation to generate more new drugs.

Government and United Nations

• In 2016 the United Nations General Assembly agreed to develop strategies to combat the spread of antibiotic resistance.

• A declaration by member states outlined a coordinated global response along a similar path to the one used to combat

climate change.

• Signatories to the declaration have committed to encouraging innovation in antibiotic drug development, increasing public

awareness, lifting surveillance and improving regulatory systems to manage sales of antimicrobial medicines.
