Pipeline Summary 6 Product candidate and indication Preclinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Key milestones • Preclinical Stage OncoPLEX Intratumoral therapy Unencumbered, late - stage pipeline with near - term value inflection 1 Following the enrolment of 500 patients that will complete their 30 days follow - up in SHIELD I, the study design provides for a blinded sample size re - estimation based on the primary endpoint of the study in order to determine final patient sample size within the 616 to 900 patients range. We expect to report topline results from SHIELD I at the end of 2021 assuming the study will be completed at the lower range of the sample size. 2 In December 2019, we initiated a potentially pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of D - PLEX 100 for the prevention of sternal SSIs after cardiac surgery and, subject to feedback from the FDA, we plan to continue development of D - PLEX 100 for the prevention of SSIs in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. We intend to pursue a broad label for D - PLEX 100 for the prevention of SSIs, the scope of which will depend on the clinical data generated from our potentially pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials and discussions with the FDA and the EMA.

The number of surgical procedures performed in the United States continues to rise , and surgical patients are initially seen with increasingly complex comorbidities .” 7 “The prevention of SSIs is complex and requires the integration of a range of preventive measures before, during, and after surgery . No international guidelines are available…the prevention of SSIs is a priority for patient safety .“ 6

20 Feedback from the market research study "The fact that you leave it in there for 28 days, that's interesting ... because a lot of our wounds get infected way down the road . ” – Cardiac Surgeon “If there's a sustained release over a period of weeks, that would continue antibiotic presence in a wound that is trying to heal with open incision . This keeps the fires burning in terms of antibiotic presence . ” – Infectious Disease Specialist "Any infection needs to be reported. If there's a readmission for infection and that procedure was performed at the hospital, that case is reviewed by Head of Orthopedics and the Infectious Disease Specialist." – Orthopedic Surgeon “I think if Product X caused a 69% reduction in surgical site infection, I think anybody who wouldn't use it would be doing a detriment to the patient , if the contrast is so stark.“ – Colorectal/Abdominal Surgeon Source: Polypid market research , March 2021
