Arizona Tribune - Theranexus Presents an Update of its Cash Position and Financing Horizon

Total available funds on 12 December 2024 stood at €1.5 M compared with €1.9 M on 30 September 2024. The Company is expecting its position to improve by a total of €4.8 M in the short term with the collection of the following sums due in the coming weeks:

• €2 M corresponding to the up-front payment under the terms of the licensing agreement signed on 16 December 2024 with Exeltis¹, (see press release published today at 6 pm)

• €1.2 M by Bpifrance following execution of this agreement, including the balance of the NeuroLead grant and the first part of the PickASO project funding,

• reimbursement of €141 k in installments paid by the company after the date of effect of the memorandum of understanding with our banking partners.

The Company declares having received the support of all its banking partners in a bid to restructure its financial debt. In particular, the signed agreement provides for capital repayment deferral on its main loans until the end of March 2026, and a subsequent 21-month deferral of the maturity date of said loans.

* Bank balances plus collection of payments for contracts with Exeltis, Bpifrance and banking partners expected in the coming weeks

Collection of the aforementioned sums will enable the Company to extend its cash flow horizon (previously the end of Q1 2025) to the end of Q1 2026.

Theranexus Chairman and CEO, Mathieu Charvériat, commented: "Our industrial partnership with the Insud Pharma/Exeltis Group marks a key turning point for Theranexus and could bring us first royalties as early as 2026. This shows our teams' ability to design and develop drug candidates with high medical and economic value, a capability that is recognized by international ranking corporations. This first industrial validation and the preparation for the market launch of our first drug represents a major new milestone in the maturity of Theranexus' industrial trajectory. We also want to thank our banking partners for their long-standing support, and our shareholders for their trust renewed through our equity line. Strengthened by this industrial validation, our financial horizon now extends as far as 2026 allowing us to pursue our development strategy, and explore various options, including an industrial agreement to launch our Phase III trial for Batten disease."
