Overview Spherix operates two subsidiaries: Biospherics – Pharmaceutical development with pipeline products for: Lowering triglycerides Lowering cholesterol Metabolic syndrome Aortic aneurysm Hunner’s ulcers and other painful bladder syndrome sub-populations

Overview Spherix operates two subsidiaries: Spherix Consulting – Scientific and regulatory consulting on food and drug approvals for clients worldwide: Expertise in scientific and technical aspects of drug safety and efficacy Innovative approach provides capital efficiency and institutional memory that benefits Biospherics R&D With consulting expertise, Spherix validates its methods and models more effectively than similar companies through the increased science flow

Transition from an asset centric strategy to a product development engine. Employed by Spherix to model complex metabolic disease pathways, testing potential binary therapies in simulations at various combinations of two points in the pathways, dynamic data-driven application simulation (DDDAS) chooses the most effective pair-wise combinations. Implemented a combination-drug discovery platform based on a DDDAS approach. Business Strategy

Develop combination therapies for complex diseases: Currently in metabolic syndrome, a multifactorial disease with no good therapies Looking to expand into a new therapeutic area, another multifactorial disease with no good therapies In addition to developing its own combination drugs, Spherix is looking to in-license Phase 1 and Phase 2 assets Business Strategy

Investment Highlights SPX-106 and D-tagatose show promise in multiple clinical applications Hypertriglyceridemia (Dyslipidemia) ($26 billion treatment market) Preclinical and Phase 2 data show significant lowering of triglycerides Clinical development program initiated Cash position sufficient to fund current development plan; additional fundraising will be required to continue operations beyond this plan Phase 3 study demonstrated statistically significant reductions in HbA1c in patients with mild Type 2 diabetes Company expertise well positioned to pursue specific new drug opportunities

In-Licensing for the Pipeline Biospherics’ goal to diversify pipeline by licensing in new drug candidates The Company has preclinical cardiovascular and metabolic drug candidates licensed from UKRF The Company is seeking opportunities for: Orphan drugs: Developed specifically to treat a rare medical condition 7 years of data exclusivity in addition to patent life in US In the US and EU, may be easier to gain marketing approval For indications such as familial hypertriglyceridemia, Hunner’s ulcers and other PBS sub-populations

Orphan Drug Market Over the past decade, the growth rate for orphan drug revenue has been 25.8%, significantly steeper than the 20.1% pace set by non-orphan therapies. The market is now worth more than $50 billion and is protected by special terms on exclusivity, strong subsidies for new research, shorter and less expensive timelines for development and waived regulatory fees.

Hypertriglyceridemia In the U.S. alone, more than 100 million people have elevated triglycerides, defined as more than 150 mg/dl Approximately 10 million are poorly served by current drug regimens The U.S. market for triglyceride-lowering drugs is in excess of $4 billion The path to commercialization is shorter than for an oral antidiabetic drug

Large and Growing Triglyceride Market Opportunity A growing epidemic of metabolic syndrome and dyslipidemia supports blockbuster products in an area with limited competition Unmet needs still exist due to: adverse events with niacin, lack of robust cardiovascular benefit with fibrates, and unwanted lipid effects of raising the bad LDL cholesterol (fish oils) or decreasing the good HDL cholesterol (fibrates) Need new safe agents for use in patients with both high cholesterol and high triglycerides High Cholesterol Only High Cholesterol and High Triglycerides High Trigs Only Statins $24B Fibrates $2B Fish Oil $1B 45% 45% 3% Statin Combos $0.5B No or detrimental effect on LDL % of population

What is D-tagatose? D-Tagatose D-Fructose Naturally occurring L-epimer of D-fructose with an inversion at C4 Spherix used chiral carbohydrate research to create L-sugars that are not metabolized, but retain sweetness Blocks lipid formation from carbohydrates Does not stimulate insulin production

Proposed Mechanism of Action in Lowering VLDL and Triglycerides D-Tagatose lowers blood lipoprotein and glucose levels Triglycerides reduced VLDL reduced LDL reduced HDL essentially unchanged TC reduced D-Tagatose does not cause myopathy / rhabdomyolysis D-Tagatose does not stimulate insulin secretion Tagatose follows fructose pathway in the liver 16 Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL)

LDLr -/- Mouse on Carbohydrate-Supplemented Diet The objective of this study was: To measure the reduction in serum triglycerides and cholesterol (in mg/dl) with administration of D-tagatose (g/kg/dose) and SPX-106 (in g/kg/dose) to LDLr -/- mice Inside each dose group, the doses ranged from 0 to 0.853 g/kg/dose for the sugars and 0 – 0.150 g/kg/dose for SPX106 Randomly selected doses for animals 21-30 and 31-40 were forced to be uncorrelated by principal axis transformation.
