10 Developing NurOwn® as a Groundbreaking Platform to Treat ALS • Survival is 2 to 5 years from onset, with a lifetime risk of 1 in 300 people. • ALS affects 1.6 per 100,000 people annually worldwide. • 90% to 95% of ALS cases are sporadic, with no known family history. • Projected to grow significantly, driven by factors such as advancements in research, rising prevalence due to aging populations, and emerging therapeutic modalities like cell and gene therapy. • Valued at approximately $669 million in 2023, is expected to surpass $1.2 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 6.4% (Datam Intelligence (IMARC). 1.

12 Intrinsic immunomodulation properties Tropism to sites of damage In ALS murine models • Delay motor neuron degeneration • Improve motor performance • Prolong survival Multiple evidence for neuroprotection Deficient in several neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS Single NTFs tested as potential treatment in humans (e.g. BDNF & GDNF), with limited success MSCs NTFs MSC-NTFs (NurOwn®) Enhanced secretion of multiple NTF (e.g. VEGF, HGF, GDNF, BDNF & Gal-1) Enhanced immunomodulatory effects Enhanced effects in ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases NurOwn®: Harnessing MSC Characteristics and NTF Production

GRAPHIC

13 Our Technology: Transforming ALS Treatment with Advanced Cell Therapy NurOwn®: Uses the patient’s own cells, reducing immune rejection risks, contributes to the high tolerance and good safety profile, and enhancing natural neurorepair. Introduced to the spinal cord CSF, MSC-NTF cells secrete bioactive molecules like NTFs, microRNA, and cytokines, activating neuroprotective and immunomodulatory pathways after intrathecal administration. FDA-Approved Therapies: Riluzole and Edaravone offer limited benefits, targeting glutamate toxicity and oxidative stress, respectively. NurOwn® Platform: Explored for use in other neurodegenerative diseases like MS and Parkinson's, showing broad potential.

17 The NurOwn® Process: Step by Step The patient’s bone marrow is harvested and Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are isolated from the total bone marrow population. The MSCs are expanded ex-vivo and cryopreserved. Cryopreserved MSCs are thawed, expanded and induced to differentiate into MSC-NTF cells (MSC cells that secrete Neurotrophic Factors). The MSC-NTF cells are then injected back into the patient at or near the site of damage (the spinal cord).

21 Respiratory Function • Dyspnea • Orthopnea • Respiratory insufficiency Bulbar Function Gross Motor Function Fine Motor Function 48-point scale with 4 domains Primary Endpoint ALS Functional Rating Scale- Revised (ALSFRS-R) Validated approvable questionnaire-based tool Used as basis for approval of Radicava in 2017 with mean score change at 24 weeks as primary endpoint Data from the PRO-ACT database shows the average rate of ALSFRS-R decline is 1.02 points/month Change in ALSFRS-R slope (rate of disease progression) >20-25% is clinically meaningful2

22 NurOwn®: Phase 3 Clinical Trial in ALS (BCT-002-US) Subgroup analysis: positive results in early disease population (N=58) • Consistent treatment effects across multiple endpoints and over time • Over ~2 points benefit in function at Week 28 Pre-specified subgroup with baseline ALSFRS-R ≥35 • ALSFRS-R treatment difference nominally significant starting at week-12, through the end of trial NurOwn® Placebo * p ≤ 0.05 CFB in ALSFRS-R (95% CI)

GRAPHIC

23 NurOwn® demonstrated a significant treatment effect in subgroup of patient with less advanced disease. More advanced ALS patients did not show a treatment benefit, likely due to a floor effect. Data reinforces the safety of repeat intrathecal administration. The next trial will focus on enrolling less advanced patients and measuring the delta between the baseline and week 24 to maximize the statistical power. Clinical Data Summary
