19 Avance Patents and Regulatory Landscape Avance nerve graft is processed and distributed in accordance with US FDA requirements for Human Cellular and Tissue-based Products (HCT/P) Issued U.S. Patents (additional patents pending) Axogen has Enforcement Discretion from FDA allowing continued sales under controls applicable to HCT/Ps with agreed transition plan to regulation as a Biological Product under a Biologic License Application (BLA) if approved. Axogen expects to complete the rolling submission for the BLA in the third quarter of 2024 A new (non-biosimilar) competitive processed nerve allograft, we believe, would need to complete clinical testing and obtain BLA approval prior to clinical release, and it would likely require at least 8 years to achieve this.

Emergent trauma cases generally result from injuries that initially present in an ER revolutionizing the science of nerve repair® 40 ▪ Significant number of nerve injuries typically referred to and completed by a specialist either immediately or within a few days following the injury with limited post op follow-up evaluations ▪ Emergent and diverse nature of injuries result in variable patient pathways from ER to nerve repair specialist and diverse repair algorithms ▪ Specialist surgeons typically perform nerve repair as a minor portion of their overall practice ▪ Opportunity to drive care pathways with surgeon education supported by clinical and economic data ▪ Opportunity to shift site of care for routine traumatic injuries to more cost-efficient settings (ASC) Emergent Procedures: Emergent Trauma Procedure Examples Transected sensory nerves Transected mixed/motor nerves Non-transected nerve injury Digital nerve injury after sharp lacerations e.g., a knife slipping when cutting an avocado, glass injuries More complex trauma injuries e.g., circular saw injury to hand and wrist resulting in ulnar and median nerve damage Trauma induced compression and stretch injuries e.g., peroneal nerve compression at the fibular head after knee dislocation, shoulder trauma causing stretching of the brachial plexus
Scheduled procedures involve a patient seeking relief of a condition caused by a nerve defect or surgical procedure revolutionizing the science of nerve repair® 41 ▪ Patients seeking a scheduled procedure weeks or months in advance allows patients to advocate for solutions that may improve quality of life outcomes ▪ Procedures lend themselves to standardized surgical techniques and more consistent repair algorithms, and extended follow-up evaluations ▪ Completed in specialist centers at regular intervals, typically in existing core accounts ▪ Concentrated group of surgeon specialists allow for more focused surgeon training and adoption ▪ Typically involve a higher value of Axogen products per procedure Scheduled Procedures: Scheduled Procedure Examples Breast reconstruction Mandibular reconstruction Neuroma repair Cubital and carpal tunnel revisions Neurotization of the breast and/or nipple areolar complex may be possible in many delayed or immediate breast reconstruction settings.
