Depending on the date of publication of the financial statements, the date of the Annual General Meeting, initially scheduled for June 21, 2024, may be postponed. If necessary, this information will also be announced in a press release.

As announced on April 25, 2024, when the ACTISAVE trial results have been published, the Company is able to finance its operations until October 2024.

About ACTICOR BIOTECH

Acticor Biotech is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing glenzocimab, an innovative drug for the treatment of cardiovascular emergencies, particularly ischemic stroke.

Positive results from the phase 1b/2a study, ACTIMIS, published in January 2024 in the Lancet Neurology (link to publication) confirmed the safety profile of glenzocimab and showed a reduction in mortality and intracerebral haemorrhage in the glenzocimab-treated group of stroke patients. A post-hoc analysis of brain imaging at 0 and 24 hours using artificial intelligence confirmed these results, showing a reduction in the number and volume of intracerebral lesions in patients treated with glenzocimab.

On April 25, 2024, the company announced the initial results of the ACTISAVE trial (NCT05070260), an international phase 2/3 study in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, which showed no efficacy of glenzocimab on the primary endpoint, the proportion of patients with severe disability or death (mRS 4-6) 90 days after stroke, nor on the secondary endpoint, the proportion of patients returning to life without disability (mRS 0-2) 90 days after stroke. The presentation of the study's main results will take place on May 15, 2024 at a plenary session of the European Stroke Organization Conference (ESOC).

Acticor Biotech is currently investigating any influencing factors that may have accounted for these results, which contradict the findings of pharmacology studies and previous clinical data.

Acticor Biotech is backed by a panel of European and international investors (Mediolanum farmaceutici, Karista, Go Capital, Newton Biocapital, CMS Medical Venture Investment (HK) Limited, A&B (HK) Limited, Anaxago, and the Armesa Foundation) and has been listed on Euronext Growth Paris since November 2021 (ISIN: FR0014005OJ5 - ALACT).
