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

Slide 39

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


Slide 40

NMB – What is the clinical need? Novel NMBs and related agents with the potential for rapid onset with ultra-short and intermediate durations of action, along with the potential to be rapidly 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 used to reverse RP1000 and RP2000, 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

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.
