Next Steps for IV Meloxicam Filed NDA for IV Meloxicam in July 2017; await “acceptance for filing” end of September 2017 Total across all Phase 3 studies: approximately 1100 patients enrolled Largest Phase 3 double blind placebo controlled non-opioid study evaluating post operative IV pain product in a post-operative setting Finalize design and initiate Phase 3B studies in Q4 2017 Orthopedic surgery (total knee)- opioid consumption/pain intensity Colorectal surgery-opioid consumption; length of stay Execute Commercialization and Launch Plan Strategic Segmentation, Prioritization and Targeting to Accelerate Formulary Adoption
Commercialization Trends in IV Pain Management Alternative payment models – bundled payments “Setting of care” and general movement to lower acuity settings as site of service Opioid avoidance –anti-addiction efforts across HHS Reimbursement strategy- IV, oral and generic factors High cost of drugs Multimodal drug approach Value proposition supported with real world evidence and HE data beyond evidence for FDA approval
Opioids Dominate the IV Pain Market Note: Patients may be treated with more than one analgesic during a given DRG Source: Truven Health Analytics 2014 Critical to demonstrate clinical and economic value versus IV opioids
IV Meloxicam Target Opportunity Intra-abdominal Procedures Surgeons have keen interest in: Avoidance of opioids Avoidance of troughs in existing non-opioid pain med options If approved, could answer needs through: Relief of moderate to severe pain over 24 hours Reducing LOS Orthopedic Procedures Surgeons have keen interest in: Long lasting serious pain relief to get the patient through the trip home and first post-op day/night Many surgeons concerned about opioid use and potential for addiction If approved, could answer needs through: Relief of moderate to severe pain over 24 hours No addiction properties
Long-Lasting Opioid Sparing Option is Perceived Important Across All Settings of Care Segment Size Summary ASC ~2.2M Patients Opioid sparing option reduces physician risk, facilitates same day discharge with improved patient experience and 24 hour pain control. Expand surgery repertoire by enabling more complex surgeries to be performed and discharged on the same day at ASCs. Swift formulary decision-making Healthy margin, limited by level of reimbursement per case HOPD ~9M Patients Opioid sparing option reduces physician risk, facilitates on-time or early discharge with improved patient experience and 24 hour pain control. Healthy margin on average, burdened by hospital-wide pharmacy budget Slow formulary decision-making, but shared across multiple settings Inpatient ~11M Patients Opioid sparing option with 24 hour efficacy remains appealing Reduction in length of stay remains important but less compelling because benefit masked by operational efficiencies of the staff Slow formulary decision-making, but shared across multiple settings Greater institutional inertia to impact change Source: Primary market research with customer interviews and analysis

NMB Compounds from Cornell - Background NMBs stands for a Neuromuscular Blocking Agents: (Used as an “anesthetic” agent to facilitate intubation and surgery) NMBs are classified by their onset time and duration of activity * Predicted based on currently available data **supplemental pre-clinical work required before next clinical trial at higher dose Compound Onset Time Duration of Activity Status Intermediate Acting* RP1000 Rapid* Intermediate Acting* Phase I** Ultra-Short Acting* RP2000 Rapid* Ultra-short acting* Pre IND Reversal agent specific to licensed compounds; acts quickly by a chemical reaction to reverse blockade Potential for same dose of reversal agent to be used independent of time of administration Reversal agent may require further refinement formulation
NMB – What is the clinical need? Novel NMB and related agents with the potential for rapid onset with ultra-short and intermediate durations of action, along with the potential to be more quickly reversed Clinical potential: reducing the time required for induction of anesthesia and the time needed to recover from NMB that patients require post procedure (in the OR and in the PACU) while potentially enhancing patient safety. Current alternatives when patients need “reversing” from neuromuscular blockade: encapsulating/binding reversal agents (Sugammadex) enzymatic reversal agents (Neostigmine) Both pathways may require higher doses and therefore incur greater expense if used earlier in a procedure compared to late in a procedure (i.e., when more NMB agent is remaining in the patient’s system) However, the proposed reversal agent RP-17-006 used to reverse RP-17-002, RP-17-004, may more quickly reverse neuromuscular blockade via a chemical reaction This outcome could be beneficial to the patient and result in meaningful cost savings for the hospital/ASC

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited) CDMO Segment ($’s in millions) 2016 2017 Six Months 2017 Estimate Operating Income $24.2 $10.3 $12.6 - $15.6 Depreciation $5.0 $2.4 $4.8 Amortization of intangible assets $2.6 $1.3 $2.6 EBITDA $31.8 $14.0 $20.0 - $23.0 Capital expenditures ($4.3) ($2.5) ($4.8) Change in working capital $2.2 ($0.1) $1.8 Stock-based compensation expense $0.8 $0.5 $1.0 Excess Cash Flow (before interest & principal payments) $30.5 $11.9 $18.0 - $21.0 To supplement our financial results determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we have also disclosed in the table below the following non-GAAP information for our Contract Development and Manufacturing division (‘CDMO segment”): earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Excess Cash Flow. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our CDMO segment as such useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management. EBITDA is used by investors, as well as management in assessing our performance. Under the credit agreement with our lender (OrbiMed), Excess Cash Flow after interest paid on the OrbiMed debt, is one of the metrics used to determine the amount that OrbiMed may require the Company to prepay on the outstanding principal on our loan on a quarterly basis (see Notes to Financial Statements for description of the credit agreement). Excess Cash Flow is a useful measure of cash flow available to not just service debt, but also use for other Company operating activities, including product development and commercialization. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results. Further, Non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared.
