  1. Preventing and treating chronic infections SoftOx Solutions AS A Norwegian MedTech Company listed on Merkur, OSE

  2. Agenda • Introduction 4th Quarter 2019 • Key highlights • Key Figures • The challenge • Highlights • The SoftOx technology • Product development • The solution • Pre clinical and clinical studies 1st Quarter 2020 • • Highlights Virus and bacteria • Product portfolio • Product development • Commercialization Investment proposition 2

  3. Highlights SoftOx has discovered a unique combination of natural chemicals proven to have superior antimicrobial effect when compared to today’s solutions* • First clinical trial in humans completed successfully • Secured distribution agreements for hand disinfection (Kiiltoclean/Antibac) and animal health (VESO) • Cooperation with globally leading universities, and research teams • Entered the market with the company’s hand disinfectant Removing and preventing infections *Company information; Filter grown Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus embedded in biofilm 3

  4. The challenge Viral epidemics • No known cure. • Vaccines serve as the only solution for viral infections requiring 1-2 years of development. Antimicrobial resistance • The ability of bacteria and other microorganisms to resist the effects of an antibiotic/antiseptic. Biofilm resistance • Aggregated bacteria often covered by slime (biofilm matrix), acting as a fortress and protecting bacteria from attacks Nature’s ability to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is reinforced 4

  5. A unique combination Acetic acid Hypochlorous acid • Long history of use as an antiseptic • The body’s natural antimicrobial agent • Potentially effective deep within the wound bed • Widely used but inherently unstable • Good stability • Instantaneous microbial killing effect • Retains antimicrobial activity despite contact with organic • Superior safety profile in efficient concentrations material (e.g. blood, tissue) • Moderate antiseptic effect alone • Widely used as food additive • Well tolerated, e.g. drinking water • Moderate antiseptic effect alone The SoftOx Technology – the combination effect • The combination works synergistically, and shows superior effect on microbes • Does not induce resistance in bacteria. Effective in antibiotic-resistant bacteria (e.g. MRSA) • Can be customized for specific purposes; » Higher concentration of acetic acid increases the formula’s antimicrobial potency (biofilm eradication) » Lower concentration of acetic acid yields a softer sting when applied to wounds (disinfectant, wound irrigation) • Effectively stabilizes hypochlorous acid 5

  6. Works on wound surfaces AND beneath the wound bed Success criteria for removal of infections The SoftOx Wound Model ▪ Penetrate and kill microbes within the biofilm Prevent infections ▪ Penetrate and eradicate biofilm within the wound bed ▪ Microbial resistance must not develop ▪ Well tolerated Penetrates wound bed Infection remover Kills bacteria inside biofilm Removal of infections → critical for wound healing 6

  7. Pre-clinical experiments show promising effects In vitro in the lab Animal models ✓ A safe disinfectant with a unique ability to remove hard-to- ✓ No negative influence on wound healing treat microbes embedded in biofilm ✓ ✓ Well-tolerated in full-depth wounds Appears to be significantly more effective than competitors SoftOx against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, the most common ✓ Significant bacterial reduction in wounds bacteria in chronic wounds ✓ Did not induce resistance or cross-resistance development towards antibiotics Effectiveness on Staphylococcus aureus 1 Effectiveness on Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1 Effect on bacteria in biofilms 7 1) Company information SoftOx SoftOx

  8. VirusProtect A hand disinfectant - fully effective on all types of viruses and bacteria, including the novel Corona virus Benefits • Improved skin health • Prevention of hand eczema • Reduced Hospital Acquired Infections • Reduced spread of Antimicrobial Resistance. Fully viricidal & skin friendly hand disinfectant 8
