Fiscal Year 2022 Clinical Pipeline Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Program (China team core project)

Led by Brii Bio's team in China and partners, Vir Biotechnology, Inc. ("Vir," NASDAQ: VIR) and VBI Vaccines, Inc. ("VBI," NASDAQ: VBIV), the Company is progressing multiple combination studies for the treatment of HBV to improve the probability of achieving a high rate of functional cure for chronic HBV patients in China. China has the largest prevalence of HBV in the world, with 87 million people impacted by this disease, yet there is no effective functional cure currently available for patients.

• BRII-179 (VBI-2601) in Combination with BRII-835 (VIR-2218) (Study conducted by Brii Bio)
• In February 2023, interim results were presented in an oral session at the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of Liver (APASL) 2023 indicating that combination therapy with BRII-835 (VIR-2218) and BRII-179 (VBI-2601) was safe and well-tolerated, induced stronger anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) antibody responses and led to improved HBsAg-specific T-cell responses, when compared with BRII-835 (VIR-2218) or BRII-179 (VBI-2601) alone. In the data presented at APASL, 50 participants in all cohorts achieved HBsAg reduction at the end of treatment with a mean decrease of -1.7 to -1.8 log10 IU/mL. In addition, two participants in combination cohorts achieved maximum reductions in HBsAg at or below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) by Week 40, along with robust HBsAg-specific antibody and T-cell responses.
• Additional data from the Phase 2 study of BRII-179/BRII-835 combination are expected in the second half of 2023.
• BRII-179 (VBI-2601) in Combination with PEG-IFN-α (Study conducted by Brii Bio)
• In December 2022, the Company completed patient enrollment in part one of a Phase 2 combination trial evaluating the addition of BRII-179 (VBI-2601) in chronic HBV patients already receiving pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFN-α) and nucleotide/nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) treatment.
• Topline results are expected in the second half of 2023.
• VIR-2218 (BRII-835) in Combination with PEG-IFN-α (Study conducted by Vir)
• Vir announced end-of-treatment data from an ongoing Phase 2 trial of combination 48 weeks of VIR-2218 (BRII-835) with PEG-IFN-α at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) 2022 meeting, which demonstrated that nearly 31% of patients with chronic HBV infection achieved HBsAg seroclearance with anti-HBs seroconversion with no new safety signals.
• Additional data from the Phase 2 study led by Vir are expected in the first half of 2023.
• VIR-2218 (BRII-835) in Combination with VIR-3434 (BRII-877) (MARCH Study conducted by Vir)
• In November 2022, Vir presented initial end-of-treatment data at AASLD's The Liver Meeting^® from Part A of its ongoing Phase 2 MARCH study evaluating VIR-2218 (BRII-835) in combination with VIR-3434 (BRII-877) in participants with chronic HBV infection who received NRTI therapy. The data indicated additive HBsAg reductions from VIR-2218 (BRII-835) and VIR-3434 (BRII-877) with combination regimens achieving a much greater HBsAg reduction than either alone in all patients with no safety signals.
• Additional data from Part A of Vir's ongoing Phase 2 MARCH trial are expected in the first half of 2023.
• Initial data to evaluate VIR-2218 (BRII-835) and VIR-3434 (BRII-877) with or without PEG-IFN-α, are expected in the second half of 2023 from Part B of Vir's ongoing Phase 2 MARCH trial.
• Brii Bio is working closely with the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to initiate a Phase 1 study of BRII-877 (VIR-3434) in China.

Postpartum Depression (PPD) Program and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) (U.S. team core project)

Brii Bio is developing its internally-discovered BRII-296 therapeutic candidate as a first-of-its-kind one-time injection treatment with the potential to expand the PPD and MDD treatment landscapes for patients in the U.S.

• BRII-296
• In September 2022, Brii Bio announced positive topline results from its Phase 1 study of BRII-296 with data that demonstrated a single administration of the investigational therapy at 600 mg delivered a favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and was safe and well-tolerated in healthy subjects. Early feedback from physicians and patient communities is very positive and reinforces the potential for a first-of-its-kind single-injection treatment option for PPD.
• Brii Bio is working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to align and agree on a PPD treatment protocol in preparation for its Phase 2 proof-of-concept (POC) study.

• Brii Bio's partner, AN2 Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANTX), is advancing a pivotal Phase 2/3 clinical trial for treatment-refractory Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease.
• AN2 also completed and reported topline results from its Phase 1 bridging study designed to evaluate the PK, safety and tolerability of oral BRII-658 (epetraborole) in Japanese subjects.

COVID-19 Program

• Following commercial launch in July 2022, Brii Bio sold substantially all available products of the amubarvimab/romlusevimab combination, with distribution to 25 provinces and 358 hospitals, with a revenue of RMB51.6 million. And as part of its commitment to ensuring humanitarian access and contributing to the containment of the pandemic outbreak, the Company donated nearly 3,000 doses for emergency use to 21 cities and 22 hospitals in China prior to the commercial launch.
• In January 2023, the amubarvimab/romlusevimab combination is the recommended antiviral treatment for COVID-19 in both the 10th COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline and the 4th COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for Severe/Critical Cases.
• The Company has made the decision to discontinue its amubarvimab/romlusevimab antibody combination program and has stopped manufacturing efforts in order to redirect resources to high-priority programs. This determination is based on the constantly evolving COVID-19 trends including the upcoming expiration of the federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) in May 2023, as well as protracted regulatory inspections at our CDMO sites. The Company is working with the U.S. FDA to withdraw the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) application at an appropriate time following the completion of activities required by the regulatory authority and also with the China NMPA to withdraw the Biologics License Application (BLA) in the third quarter of 2023 once all necessary regulatory requirements have been completed. No significant revenue is expected in the future from the commercialization of amubarvimab/romlusevimab injection combination either in China or in the U.S. and other territories.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

• The revenues increased by RMB51.6 million from nil for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to the commercialization of the long-acting amubarvimab/romlusevimab combination therapy in China for the treatment of COVID-19.
• Other income was RMB107.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of RMB8.9 million or 9.0%, compared with RMB99.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was mainly due to the increase in bank interest income of RMB30.7 million attributable to the increased bank and cash balances after the Global Offering. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in income recognized from PRC government grants.
• Research and development expenses were RMB440.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of RMB54.0 million, or 10.9%, compared with RMB494.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in third party contracting costs relating to COVID-19 programs. It was partially offset by the increase in the employee cost for our continuous development in clinical trials.
• Selling and marketing expenses increased by RMB26.9 million from nil for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the  commercialization of COVID-19 therapy.
• Administrative expenses were RMB168.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of RMB39.8 million, or 19.1%, compared with RMB208.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the employee costs.
• Total comprehensive expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was RMB238.5 million, representing a decrease of RMB4,010.5 million, or 94.4%, compared with RMB4,249.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in fair value loss on financial liabilities at FVTPL.
