Forward Looking Statements Statements in this presentation that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our research and clinical development plans, expected near-term Phase 2 and Phase 3 milestones (including but not limited to, enrollment completion), hypothesis leading to adhesion formation, severity and incidence of adhesions, mode of function of other adhesion treatments, potential of LB1148 to reduce adhesions, potential of LB1148 to reduce types of adhesions, potential for LB1148 to transform the current standard of care, strategy, potential of LB1148 to be covered by a patient’s pharmacy benefit, ability to leverage certain regulatory pathways, timing of studies, competitors, regulatory matters, market size and opportunity and our ability to complete certain milestones, including completion of subject enrollment. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “aim,” “target,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “may,” “goal,” “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements necessarily contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management of Palisade Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) as well as assumptions that may never materialize or prove to be incorrect. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to known and unknown risks, including business, regulatory, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties, contingencies and assumptions about the Company, including, without limitation, risks inherent in developing pharmaceutical products, future results from the Company’s ongoing and planned clinical trials, the Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing to fund its planned clinical trials and other expenses, trends in the industry, changes in the competitive landscape, delays or disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the legal and regulatory framework for the industry and future expenditures. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the events or circumstances referred to in the forward-looking statements may not occur. The actual results may vary from the anticipated results and the variations may be material. Other factors that may cause the Company's actual results to differ from current expectations are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the section titled “Risk Factors” contained therein. These forward-looking statements should not be taken as forecasts or promises, nor should they be taken as implying any indication, assurance or guarantee that the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements have been made are correct or exhaustive or, in the case of the assumptions, fully stated in this presentation. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this presentation is given. Except as required by law, Palisade Bio assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in expectations, even as new information becomes available. This presentation discusses product candidates that are under clinical study, and which have not yet been approved for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No representation is made as to the safety or effectiveness of these product candidates. Caution should be exercised when interpreting results from separate trials involving separate product candidates. Differences exist between trial designs and subject demographics, which limit the conclusions that can be drawn from comparisons across different trials. This presentation includes statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications, third-party research, surveys and studies. The information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although there is no guarantee regarding the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Free Writing Prospectus This presentation highlights basic information about the Company and the offering. Because it is a summary that has been prepared solely for informational purposes, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our Company. Except as otherwise indicated, this presentation speaks only as of the date hereof. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offering or solicitation. Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of our securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this presentation. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. This presentation includes industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and journals, third-party studies and surveys, internal company studies and surveys, and other publicly available information. Industry publications and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Although we believe the industry and market data to be reliable as of the date of this presentation, this information could prove to be inaccurate. Industry and market data could be wrong because of the method by which sources obtained their data and because information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. In addition, we do not know all of the assumptions that were used in preparing the forecasts from the sources relied upon or cited herein. We have filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-265769) with the SEC, including a preliminary prospectus dated July 22, 2022 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”), with respect to the offering of our securities to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the Preliminary Prospectus (including the risk factors described therein) in the registration statement and, when available, the final prospectus relating to the offering, and the other documents we have filed with the SEC, for more complete information about the Company and the offering.

Slide 4

Risk Factors Investing in our securities stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as other information included in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-265769), Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2022, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 13, 2022, including our financial statements and the related notes, and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” any of which may be relevant to decisions regarding an investment in or ownership of our securities. The occurrence of any of these risks could have a significant adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, growth and ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. We have organized the description of these risks into groupings in an effort to enhance readability, but many of the risks interrelate or could be grouped or ordered in other ways, so no special significance should be attributed to the groupings or order below. Risks include but are not limited to: The Company has conducted clinical trials in China; consequently, the FDA and other regulatory authorities may delay, limit or deny approval or require the Company to conduct additional trials in the United States in order to seek marketing authorization. The Company’s business depends on the successful clinical development, regulatory approval and commercialization of LB1148. Some of the initial indications in which the Company plans to pursue development of LB1148 are indications for which there are no FDA-approved therapies. This makes it difficult to predict the timing and costs of clinical development for LB1148 in these indications, as well as the regulatory approval path. The development and commercialization strategy for the Company’s lead product candidate LB1148 depends, in part, on published scientific literature and the FDA’s prior findings regarding the safety and efficacy of tranexamic acid. If the Company is not able to pursue this strategy, it may be delayed in receiving regulatory authority approval. The Company’s product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other unexpected properties that could delay or prevent their regulatory approval, limit the commercial profile of an approved label, or result in post-approval regulatory action. The Company relies on and expects to continue to rely on third-party CROs and other third parties to conduct and oversee its clinical trials. If these third parties do not meet the Company’s requirements or otherwise conduct the trials as required, the Company may not be able to satisfy its contractual obligations or obtain regulatory approval for, or commercialize, its product candidates. If the Company is not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq could delist its common stock. The Company has expressed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise additional financing in the future to fund its operations, which may not be available to it on favorable terms or at all.
