What is PTSD? A chronic response to traumatic event(s) • A majority of people will experience a traumatic event at some point in their lifetime1 • 20% of women and 8% of men in the U.S. who experience significant trauma develop PTSD1 • Lifetime prevalence: 6.8%2 (~ 17 million adults in the U.S.) • Persistent - >1/3 fail to recover, even after several years following the trauma2 • Twelve month prevalence: U.S. 3.5%3 (~ 8.6 million adults) EU 2.3%4 (~10 million adults) Most common forms of trauma1 • Witnessing someone being badly injured or killed • Natural disaster • Life-threatening accident • Sexual or physical assault 1.

What Are the Symptoms of PTSD? Symptoms of PTSD fall into four clusters: 1. Intrusion (aversive memories, nightmares, flashbacks) 2. Avoidance (avoiding persons, places or situations) 3. Mood/cognitions (memory block, emotional numbing, detachment from others) 4. Hyperarousal (anxiety, agitation & sleep disturbance) Symptoms assessed for diagnosis, severity and treatment effect • Clinician Administered PTSD Scale ("CAPS-5") • Recognized as the standard for rating PTSD severity in clinical trials • Takes into account all four symptom clusters © 2017 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp

 

   

 

 

 

What Are the Consequences of PTSD? Consequences: • Impaired daily function and substantial interference with work and social interactions • Reckless or destructive behavior • Increased health care utilization and greater medical morbidity PTSD as a risk factor for: • Depression • Alcohol or substance abuse • Absenteeism/unemployment • Homelessness • Violent acts • Suicidal thoughts and suicide Unmet Needs: • Effective therapy for populations not well served by current treatment (males, military trauma) • Alternative therapy for the majority of patients unresponsive or intolerant to current treatments • Drug therapy compatible and complementary with behavioral therapy © 2017 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp

What Drug Classes are Used to Treat PTSD? Market highly fragmented, with benzodiazepines being widely prescribed (but not indicated1) • Multiple medications per patient (or “Polypharmacy”) is the norm • Approximately 55% of patients receive a benzodiazepine, and 53% receive an selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) • SSRIs are the only FDA approved drug class Estimated PTSD Market Volume (Civilian Population Only) ~14.1 million TRx*2 Tricyclic Antidepressants Adrenergic Agents All Others Non-benzodiazpepine Hypnotics Benzodiazepines Serotonin and norepinephrine 2.84 M TRx reuptake inhibitors Other Antidepressants SSRIs 2.84 M TRx Atypical Antipsychotics Anticonvulsants/Mood Stabilizers * TRx = Total prescriptions 1.

TNX-102 SL: Innovative and Unique By Design Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) is cyclobenzaprine (CBP), is structurally related to tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) • TCAs and their metabolites differ widely in their receptor binding and pharmacokinetic profiles1 • CBP is more selective for high affinity sites believed to have a role in sleep quality2 • 5-HT2A • 1-adrenergic Different • from other histamine H1 • CBP undergoes extensive first-pass hepatic metabolism when administered orally tricyclics • Major metabolite, norcyclobenzaprine (nCBP) • Long half-life (~72 hours) • Less selective for target receptors (5-HT2A, histamine H1) • More selective for norepinephrine transporter TNX-102 SL: Innovative sublingual formulation of CBP Different • Rapid systemic exposure from oral CBP • Increased bioavailability formulation • Avoids first-pass metabolism • Lowers exposure to long-lived active major metabolite, nCBP 1.

Why Initially Target Military-Related PTSD? Military-related PTSD not well-served by existing FDA-approved therapies • No clear treatment response observed in U.S. military population Sertraline: failed to show efficacy in a large multicenter trial in U.S. military (placebo numerically better)1 Paroxetine: no large trials conducted with predominantly military trauma • Inconsistent treatment response observed in males Sertraline: FDA-conducted post-hoc analysis concluded no effect for male civilian subgroup2 Paroxetine: no sex-related difference in treatment outcomes3 • Important tolerability issues with SSRIs in this population Sexual dysfunction2,3 Insomnia2,3 SSRI withdrawal syndrome4 1.
