Investor presentation
Forward looking statements
This presentation contains forward looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable at this
time, Neuren can give no assurance that these expectations will
prove to be correct. Actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated. Reasons may include risks associated with drug
development and manufacture, risks inherent in the regulatory
processes, delays in clinical trials, risks associated with patent
protection, future capital needs or other general risks or factors.

The Voice of the Patient…..1
“PMS has an overwhelming unmet medical need.
There are no FDA approved treatments for PMS despite its
severely debilitating manifestations. Parents and caregivers are
open to trying almost anything to try to relieve their child’s
suffering; most have tried an incredibly high number of
treatments and approaches for symptom management, with very
little success.”
NNZ-2591 development program
✓ Orphan Drug designation (US and EU)
✓ Rare Pediatric Disease designation (US)
✓ Meaningful improvements rated by
clinicians and caregivers in open-label
Phase 2 trial
✓ Alignment with FDA on single Phase 3 trial
design and endpoints to support a New
Drug Application
✓ Fast Track designation (US)
✓ Koala Phase 3 trial recruiting
1 Excerpts from Voice of the Patient Report of Externally-Led Patient-Focused Drug Development Meeting Nov 2022
Developmental delay/intellectual impairment (lack of safety
awareness) and communication issues
are the most troublesome concerns.
Improved cognitive functioning and improved
communication are the most desired outcomes.
“PMS has severe quality of life impacts on those
living with the disease, as well as on parents and
siblings.
Most activities of daily life, including communicating needs or
wants, self-care (bathing, dressing, toileting) and socializing
with peers/siblings are affected. Most individuals living with
PMS rely on their parents and caregivers for all their daily needs,
and many require 24-hour care.”

Patients stories1
“She was tested earlier for Angelman and Rett Syndrome,
but they were of course negative. I had a strange feeling
that something was wrong with her already when she was
a newborn…I started to see different doctors with her, but
they just told me nothing was wrong, until we met a
Neurologist who told us that she had Cerebral Palsy and
that she would not able to walk, ever…She doesn’t talk
but when she was about one year old she was saying a
few words that never ever came back...”
NNZ-2591 development program
✓ Orphan Drug designation (US and EU)
✓ Fast Track designation (US)
✓ Rare Pediatric Disease designation (US)
✓ Consistent efficacy observed in TCF4
model of PTHS
✓ Meaningful improvements rated by
clinicians and caregivers in open-label
Phase 2 trial
1 Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation
“Caleb is currently 10 months old and he does not sit or
roll yet and is not really interested in toys. He is currently
in an early intervention program and is going through
physical therapy, and sees a vision teacher and special
education teacher…It has not been an easy journey thus
far. I still do not how and where I get all my strength from.
I know things will only get harder as he gets older but I am
ready to accept the challenge and take each day as it
comes.”

• 13 weeks treatment of patients age 3-12 years in open label trial at 5 US sites
• Mean CGI-Iof 2.6 with 9 out of 11 children showing improvement (p = 0.00391)
• NNZ-2591 was safe and well tolerated, with no clinically meaningful changes in safety parameters during treatment
Improvements were seen in
clinically important aspects of Pitt

• communication
• social interaction
• cognition; and
• motor abilities

Phase
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
22
Standard of care is therapeutic hypothermia
(TH), which reduces mortality and morbidity
Urgent unmet need for
treatment to improve long-
term outcomes
Causes of HIE
Situations where the global
oxygenation of the blood flow to
the brain is impacted in utero,
during birth, or shortly after, that
can cause fetal distress, e.g.:
• Placental issues
• Uterine rupture
• Fetal maternal hemorrhage
• Maternal infection
• Shoulder dystocia
• Cord compression and cord
issues
• Sudden unexpected postnatal
collapse
Hypoxia-ischemia 0-6 hrs 6-72 hrs
Tertiary Phase
3 days to years
• IGF-1 promotes cell survival, modulates inflammation, and
regulates synaptic transmission
• IGF-1 levels are reduced in infants with HIE, correlating with
HIE severity and outcome
• Supporting data from a range of in-vitro and in-vivo models

• Pediatric

• Limited competition
• Leverages the non-clinical
