Experienced Management Team ■ Larry Dillaha, M.D. – President and CEO (Feb 2017) – Sanofi, Sciele / Shionogi, Insys Therapeutics – History of clinical and regulatory success ■ Kathi Anderson, CPA – CFO – Joined Repros in 2002 – More than 15 years in biotech, life sciences ■ Joe Wernicke, M.D., Ph.D. – Chief Medical Officer – 30 years industry experience – Eli Lilly, Cyberonics 4

 
 

Proellex ® (Telapristone Acetate) for the Treatment of Uterine Fibroids and Endometriosis ■ Licensed from NIH, 1999 ■ Selective Progesterone Receptor Modulator (SPRM) ■ No selectivity for glucocorticoid receptor need for chronic intermittent dosing ■ Lead indications: – Treatment of Uterine Fibroids – Treatment of Endometriosis expected to follow ■ Strong patent protection – NCE related thru 2021 – Off - Drug Interval thru 2027 5

 
 

Selective Progesterone Receptor Modulator (SPRM) ■ Evolved from progesterone antagonists – Mifepristone – Limited use because of high affinity for glucocorticoid receptor over progesterone receptor • Recognizing need for more selective progesterone receptor activity; SPRMs developed ■ Mixed agonist and antagonist activity at progesterone receptor – Relative activity is tissue specific – Minimizing activity on other steroidal receptors 6

 
 

Uterine Fibroids ■ Benign smooth muscle tumors of uterus (leiomyomas) ■ Most common tumor of female reproductive tract – 20 - 77% of women aged 35 - 55 ■ Quality of Life often impacted – Heavy menstrual bleeding – Discomfort and pain ■ Current Therapy – Medications • NSAIDS, OCPs, GnRH agonists, Progestin releasing IUDs – Minimally Invasive Procedures • Uterine artery embolization, myomectomy, ablation – Surgery • Hysterectomy – most common reason for hysterectomy – over half of the 600,000 done annually 7

 
 

Endometriosis ■ Endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus – Infertility – pain, including pelvic pain – Dyspareunia – Dysmenorrhea – 11% of women aged 15 - 44 – 25 - 40% of all cases of infertility – 71 - 87% of women with chronic pelvic pain – 53% teenagers with dysmenorrhea ■ Impact on QoL ■ Current Therapy – Medication • NSAIDs, opioids, OCPs, Lupron, danazol – Surgery • Laparoscopic procedures – high rates of recurrence 8

 
 

GnRH agonists and antagonists. These agents: • Block hypothalamus / pituitary axis • Shut down hormonal secretions • Add - back hormonal therapy Proellex ® Hypothalamus Pituitary Endometrial & Uterine Tissue Antiprogestins • Selectively block progesterone activity • Allow tonic hormone secretions - No add - back hormonal therapy required • Potential for chronic intermittent use 9 How Antiprogestins Like Proellex ® Work

 
 

Proellex ® Effectiveness in Patients 10 AN EFFECTIVE ORAL DOSE OF PROELLEX ® STOPS MENSTRUATION (AMENORRHEA) IN MAJORITY OF WOMEN Induction of amenorrhea relieves key symptoms of uterine fibroids and endometriosis 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 1 mg 3 mg 6 mg 9 mg 12 mg 25 mg 50 mg % of Women with Induced Amenorrhea • Proellex ® induced amenorrhea (no ovulation) • Mimics early follicular phase without progesterone while maintaining tonic estrogen levels Efficacy shown thru wide range of doses

 
 

Proellex Regulatory / Development History 11 Full Clinical Hold 2009 Partial Clinical Hold Phase II studies FDA Meeting FDA Feedback • Study doses 12mg and lower • Increased liver monitoring • Only oral program affected • Doses of 50mg and 25mg • 2 cases of Hy’s Law at 50mg only • 6mg and 12 mg • Uterine Fibroids • Endometriosis • Good efficacy • No signals indicative of drug induced liver injury • Changed meeting to Type C / guidance meeting • FDA consulted with internal liver group • Company submitted additional information from liver consultants • Feedback from FDA - • FDA will require a large pre - approval safety data base

 
 

Broad Patent Position on Proellex ® ■ Off - Drug Interval • Recent issuance of patent ‘074 – expires 2027 • Relates to the use of Selective Progesterone Receptor Modulators (SPRM), in particular Telapristone Acetate (Proellex ® ) or Ulipristal Acetate, with an Off - Drug Interval (ODI) for the treatment of estrogen - dependent hyperproliferative uterine conditions, such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis ■ NIH NCE patents – Coverage until 2021 ■ Vaginal Delivery Patent coverage 12

 
 

Potential Advantages of Vaginal Delivery of Telapristone ■ Leverage vaginal - uterine local circulation – Reduce first pass hepatic metabolism – Allows for reduced systemic blood levels ■ Clinical work to date suggests good efficacy – Current data on once daily vaginal capsules – Lower systemic blood levels compared to oral delivery ■ Potential improvement on formulation – Vaginal ring delivery potentially attractive – Differentiated product – Expect to offer less than once per day dosing – Would target dosing every 2 - 4 weeks 13

 
 

Significant Market Opportunity and Investment in this Therapeutic Area ▪ Ulipristal Acetate ▪ Gedeon Richter product partnered with Allergan for US market ▪ On market in EU ▪ Esmya 5 mg for Tx of UF ▪ Recently completed phase III ▪ Venus II trial ▪ Publicly stated intent to file NDA in 2H17 ▪ $1 bil opportunity † ▪ Vilaprisan ▪ Bayer asset ▪ Recently completed phase II program ▪ Projected 1 billion euros per year ‡ ▪ GnRH Agonists / Antagonists 14 † Allergan R&D Presentation 2015, slide #90 ‡ Bayer News Release, 9/20/16 – “Meet Management” investor conference
