Vivani Medical, Inc. 4 BioPharm Division (formerly Nano Precision Medical) develops drug implant candidates to address medication non - adherence, a leading cause of poor clinical outcomes, leveraging its proprietary NanoPortal technology. NPM - 119 (GLP - 1 implant) is the priority focus of Vivani. Neuromodulation Division (formerly Second Sight Medical Products) develops highly innovative medical implant candidates to treat blindness. Vivani is assessing strategic options for the development of an improved, follow - on device candidate, Orion II. Combination of two operating companies developing drug and device implant candidates intended to treat conditions with high unmet medical need. Vivani is well - positioned with new leadership and sufficient capital to support multiple milestones for NPM - 119 while assessing strategic options for Orion II.

Potential application with many molecular types Designed to Assure Adherence Minimally - fluctuating and tunable delivery profiles NanoPortal: Innovative Delivery Technology Drug Reservoir Nanotube Membrane 7

 

 

By precisely adjusting nanotubes to molecule size, interactions between drug and nanotube walls can result in desirable release profiles over time, including near constant release NanoPortal : How it Works... Pore too small: No release Pore target size: Near constant release Pore too large: Burst release 8

 

 

Minimized Implant Size Extendable Implant Duration Tunable Delivery Rate Tunable Delivery Profile 9 NanoPortal TM is a Platform Technology Broad Potential Application Can Support Portfolio of New Drug Implants
