1. ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2022

During the first half of 2022 (H1 2022), Quantum Genomics (the "Company") continued its Phase III development plan focusing on difficult-to-treat and resistant arterial hypertension with a continuation of the FRESH and REFRESH studies.

1.1 Economic and scientific progress

In March 2022, Stéphane Cohen joined the Quantum Genomics management team as Director of Global Operations. Stéphane Cohen has worked in major pharmaceutical companies (including at Bayer and Pfizer for 18 years) as an operational and general manager and has been involved in the successful launches of around a dozen or so new treatments. He will oversee the relationship with current and future international partner laboratories, implement the operational strategy in line with rules of good governance and prepare for the market launch of firibastat.

Also in March, the Company announced the issuance of new patents protecting its QGC606 product. These new patents will ensure protection in the US and Australia until 2040 for a new chemical series of brain aminopeptidase A inhibitors, more specifically protecting the drug candidate QGC606. The Company has also published a scientific paper in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology reporting the efficacy of QGC606 in an experimental heart- failure model.

In April 2022, the Company secured €17.5 million after a successful round of fund-raising. It now has the financial resources to continue the development of firibastat and explore new therapeutic areas based on the patented technology platform designed around BAPAIs. Otium Capital, with a further €10 million investment, is now the largest shareholder of the Company holding almost 14%.

In May 2022, Sarah Merlen joined the Quantum Genomics team as Head of Regulatory Affairs, to prepare for the registration of firibastat in the treatment of difficult-to-treat and resistant hypertension and to implement the operational strategy required for the submission of marketing applications. The first application will be filed in the United States and Europe, and then in the various territories targeted by the pharmaceutical partners of the company.

Also in May 2022, the Company announced that it had completed the recruitment of patients in its pivotal Phase 3 FRESH study evaluating the efficacy of firibastat in the treatment of difficult-to-treat and resistant hypertension. The first results are expected to be announced in late October 2022 during a presentation at the American Heart Association (AHA) conference in Chicago on 5-7 November 2022.
