9 The chicken egg A need for alternative modern cell-based production platforms IDEAL CELL PLATFORM ISSUES Cumbersome manufacturing process Slow reactivity in case of pandemics Exposure to risks of outbreak of bird diseases & eggs penury Egg-component allergies Susceptible to contaminations (e.g. Shortage of Influenza vaccines in the US in 2004) Investments by governments in cell-based solutions Broad virus susceptibility Immortal Genetically stable Industrially Scalable High yielding Cost effective 9

10 The EB66 cell line technology A modern high performance industrial alternative to chicken eggs VIRUS INFLUENZA 1000L BIORACTOR Replacement of ~3-5 millions eggs EB66 CELL LINE EMBRYONIC STEM CELL BIOPRODUCTION VACCINES MEASLES 10L BIOREACTOR Production of 10 millions doses 10

11 The EB66 cell line A breakthrough technology for the production of vaccines Main advantages Avian origin: easy replacement of chicken eggs for the production of human & animal vaccines Stem cell properties: immortal, genetically stable Industrial properties: growth in suspension, full traceability, high productivity Only widely available cell line indepent to pharma companies Unique Broad application: applicable to > 25 different families of viruses Independent from Pharma: MDCK belongs to Novartis, PERC.6 belongs to J&J Health authorities proof US FDA cleared first clinical trial for a vaccine produced on EB66 late 2010 Japan authorities cleared first clinical trial for a vaccine produced on EB66 early 2011 Currently, our MVA vaccine is grown in cells derived from embryonatedchicken eggs. The EB66 cell line is a much more practical and cost effective method to manufacture commercial-scale recombinant MVAs. Robert McNally, Ph.D., GeoVax president and CEO GEN Oct 19,

12 The EB66 Technology Exemple of application 1 : DELTA-VIR Newcastle virus (NDV) SITUATION Client : DELTA-VIR, biopharmaceuticalcompanyfounded2011 to developnew anti-tumoral vaccines including oncolytic viruses. Based in Koln, Germany, DELTA-VIR is a spin-off from IOZK (Immunologisches undoncologischeszentrumköln) Product : Oncolytic NDV vaccine Promising results during compassionate use in cancer patients Objectives : Obtain regulatory authorization to treat a broader patient population Target filingfor the orphanstatusfor thisdrugin 2013 Market potential for first indication : 100 M Need: a reproductible production tool, totally secured and enabling a rapid production of batches Batchesto bereadyfor injection in 2013 SOLUTION BROUGHT BY VIVALIS Fully characterized cell line in clinical trial Strong expertise in the development of production processes Ability to produce clinical batches in its GMP facility in Nantes 12 Commercial agreement signedin 2011 for the production On the EB66 cellline
