Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) - What is the clinical issue? Frequently recurring infection that can be difficult to treat • The most common vaginal infection in women ages 15-441 • Estimated to affect ~21 million women in the U.S.1 • Current prescription drugs are less than optimal with clinical cure rates ranging from 37-68%2 BV increases clinical risks3 • Preterm birth – BV is linked to premature deliveries and low birth weight babies • Sexually transmitted infections – BV makes women more susceptible to sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV, herpes simplex virus, chlamydia or gonorrhea • BV may increase the risk of developing a post-surgical infection after gynecologic procedures • BV can sometimes cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), an infection of the uterus and the fallopian tubes that can increase the risk of infertility 1. https://www.cdc.gov/std/bv/stats.htm 8 2.

Ovaprene® Investigational Hormone-Free, Monthly Contraceptive Ovaprene Commercial License Agreement with Bayer1 Mirena® is the #1 January 2020 - Bayer, marketers of the $1 billion Mirena contraceptive franchise, and Daré prescribed IUD announced that the companies signed a license agreement under which Bayer may in the US* commercialize Ovaprene in the United States once approved by the FDA. • Bayer received the right to obtain exclusive rights to commercialize the product in the U.S. following completion of the pivotal clinical trial if Bayer, in its sole discretion, makes payment to Daré of $20 million. • Daré may receive up to $310 million in commercial milestone payments plus tiered royalties on net sales in the double-digits. • Bayer supports the development and regulatory process by providing up to two full-time equivalents (internal experts), or FTEs, in an advisory capacity, which gives us access to their global manufacturing, regulatory, medical and commercial internal expertise. We believe the licensing agreement with Bayer is validation of our broader corporate strategy and confirmation of Ovaprene’s market potential as the first monthly non- hormonal contraceptive product in the US market. 18 * https://www.mirena-us.com/ 1. https://ir.darebioscience.com/news-releases/news-release-details/bayer-and-dare-bioscience-announce-exclusive-licensing-agreement
Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) 1 The global female sexual dysfunction treatment market is expected to grow at ~37% CAGR from 2019 - 2023 1. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190628005277/en/Global-Female-Sexual-Dysfunction-Treatment-Market-2019-2023
Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% FSAD - what is the clinical issue? Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD), is characterized primarily by an inability to attain or maintain sufficient genital arousal during sexual activity and, of the female sexual function disorders, is the analogous to erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.* The condition should be distinguished from a general loss of interest in sexual activity and from other sexual dysfunctions, such as the orgasmic disorder (anorgasmia) and hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), which is characterized as a lack or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity for some period of time.1,2 *Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 4th Edition Text Revision (DSM IV TR), defines female sexual arousal disorder as a persistent or recurrent inability to attain or to maintain until completion of the sexual activity, an adequate lubrication- swelling response of sexual excitement. The diagnostic criteria also state that the inability causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty, is not better accounted for by another Axis I disorder (except another sexual dysfunction) and is not due exclusively to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition. 20 1. https://drgeo.com/womens-sexual-health-overview/; 2. https://health.usnews.com/conditions/sexual-disorder-dysfunction
FSAD - what is the incidence? Meta-analysis of 95 studies from 2000-2014 indicated the prevalence of Female Sexual Dysfunction in premenopausal women worldwide is 40.9%, and difficulty with arousal alone is 23%.1 • 33% of women in the U.S. age 21 to 60 (approximately 20 million women), experience symptoms of low or no sexual arousal.2,3 • 10 million women are considered distressed and actively seeking treatment.2 1.

Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% Topically administered Sildenafil Cream1 is… • A PDE5 inhibitor utilized in ED medications for men (Viagra®), • Designed to increase local blood flow to provide an improvement in genital arousal response, • Applied topically, avoiding hepatic first-pass metabolism response resulting in lower systemic exposure resulting in reduced side effects compared to oral sildenafil, including Viagra® • Given the similarities between ED and FSAD, the active ingredient in Viagra® - sildenafil - may improve genital arousal response and overall sexual experience for women as it does in men There are no FDA-approved Treatments for FSAD 22 1.

Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% Phase 2b – At Home Study The Phase 2b study is designed to evaluate Sildenafil Cream versus placebo over twelve weeks of dosing following both a non-drug and placebo run-in period. • In the Phase 2b study women will use Sildenafil Cream and placebo in their home setting. • Primary endpoint patient reported outcome (PRO) instruments to measure improvement in localized genital sensations of arousal and reduction in the distress that women with FSAD experience. • Several exploratory efficacy endpoints will be measured and could potentially prove to be additional measurements of efficacy in a future Phase 3 program. 26

Vaginal Drug Delivery Vaginal Tamoxifen – Proof of Concept Study1 This exploratory study in four postmenopausal women diagnosed with VVA demonstrated that a self-administered vaginal suppository containing tamoxifen (20mg) dosed daily for one week and twice weekly for three months was effective in reducing vaginal pH and vaginal dryness. Vaginal Tamoxifen Enrollment On Treatment Paired Difference (Baseline) (Month 3) (Baseline vs. Month 3) Median Vaginal pH 7.1 5.0 -2.0 median range -2.5 to -1.5 Normal vaginal pH is usually less than 4.5.2 range 6.5 to 7.5 range 5.0 to 5.2 Lower pH value is a measure of symptom relief Vaginal Dryness Rated using a visual analogue scale (VAS) that ranged from: 8.0 3.0 -5.5 median 0 = Not bothered by dryness range of 7.5 to 9.0 range 2.0 to 3.0 range -6.0 to -4.5 10 = Extremely bothered by dryness Decreased vaginal dryness is a measure of symptom relief In addition, systemic absorption of tamoxifen was not significant. • After 8 weeks of study treatment with vaginal tamoxifen, the median plasma concentration of tamoxifen was 5.8 ng/ml, with a range of 1.0 to 10.0 ng/ml • In comparison, after 3 months of administration of 20mg, once-daily oral tamoxifen citrate (Nolvadex),3 the average steady state plasma concentration of tamoxifen is 122 ng/ml with a range of 71 to 183 ng/ml 1.

User-Controlled Long Acting Reversible Contraception (UC-LARC) / Microchips Technology
DARE-LARC1 User-Controlled Long Acting Reversible Contraception Design Features of the Technology: • Drug Storage • Individual doses are stored in micro-reservoir arrays • Reservoirs are hermetically sealed at room temperature • Thin membranes over each reservoir protect drug post-sealing • Drug Release • Drug doses are initiated automatically on schedule or wirelessly on-demand by a patient • Reservoirs are opened via electrothermal ablation of membranes • Upon opening, interstitial fluid diffuses in and drug diffuses out 1 34 505(b)(2) candidate 1. Anticipated regulatory pathway. Daré has not had any communications with the FDA regarding the specific marketing approval requirements for DARE-LARC1
DARE-LARC1 User-Controlled Long Acting Reversible Contraception The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has strong interest in family planning.
