Proposed First - in - Human Trial: LIBERATE - 1 Primary Objectives: Safety/tolerability assessment and full PK characterization Glycemic control (HbA1c) and weight will also be assessed Randomize 12 Weeks Key Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria • T2DM and HbA1c <8.5% • On non - exenatide GLP - 1 therapy (discontinued upon enrollment) • May be taking their GLP - 1 in combination with up to 2 of the following: metformin, TZD, SGLT - 2 inhibitor, or DPP - 4 inhibitor • Excluded: SU, insulin T2DM: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; TZD: Thiazolidinedione; SGLT - 2: Sodium - glucose cotransporter - 2; DPP - 4: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4; S U: Sulfonylurea 27

 

 

NPM - 119 Clinical + Regulatory Development Near - Term Plan July 14, 2023 – Vivani submitted an Investigational New Drug to support a proposed First in Human study also know as LIBERATE - 1 to explore the full pharmacokinetic profile of NPM - 119 in patients with type 2 diabetes. August 18, 2023 – FDA provided a Clinical Hold on the proposed LIBERATE - 1 study primarily due to insufficient Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) information. 2024 - Vivani continues to generate the requested CMC information and remains actively engaged in discussions as part of its efforts to lift the Clinical Hold and enable the expeditious initiation of LIBERATE - 1. Discussions with FDA to resolve the clinical hold are ongoing. Vivani currently expects to submit the requested CMC information to the FDA in the first half of 2024. 28 Year(s) Milestone Status 2023 IND filed to support First - in - Human (LIBERATE - 1) clinical study July 14, 2023 2023 FDA provided Clinical Hold letter August 18, 2023 2024 Generate/Submit New CMC data to Lift Clinical Hold 2024
