With the proceeds from the DuPont transaction, along with anticipated industry and governmental funding, Dyadic will have the necessary resources to accelerate the further development and optimization of the C1 technology in the area of biopharmaceuticals for many years.

– Programs we are currently engaged in; Sanofi Pasteur and the EU-funded ZAPI program, are examples of the types of industry and governmental funded research programs we will be pursuing.

There is a growing and critical need to bring affordable generic versions of biological drugs to the market and to patients sooner and at lower costs. – Biosimilars Are Helping To Make Healthcare More Affordable

• Experts predict savings to the U.S. healthcare system could range from $44B to $250B through 2025.1

With C1’s unique growth and expression properties, coupled with its proven programmability and scalability, C1 can be a game changer in developing & manufacturing biological drugs faster, in larger quantities with both less CapEx and OpEx, and potentially in some cases with even better performance.

Biologics for Pharmaceuticals

Page 7: The C1 Expression System Reinventing Biologic Drug Production

Chemical drugs, like aspirin, are small molecules that are synthesized in a laboratory. Because they are derived from chemicals with fixed structures, they can be fully characterized by analytical techniques.

In contrast, biologic drugs, or biologics, are large, complex molecules designed to specifically interact with other protein molecules in the body. Due to their complexity, biologics can only be manufactured in living cells, like Dyadic’s hyper productive C1 living cells.

Overview of the Global Biologic Drug Market

In 2014, the global biological drugs market was worth US$161 Billion in 2014. With a 10.1% CAGR expected during the forecast period of 2014 to 2020, the global biological drugs market is expected to reach a market value of US$287 Billion by 2020. 1

The “Global Biosimilar Market Outlook 2020”, reveals that the market, which was worth US$ 1.9 Billion in 2014, is expected to reach US$25.5 Billion by 2020, growing at an impressive CAGR of 54.4%.

The global biological drugs market is driven by factors such as:– The growing prevalence of chronic conditions– increasing geriatric population– Accelerating regulatory compliance.

This is due to increasing use of biological drugs in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases in the region. In addition, several clinics in the region are focusing on biological drugs for the treatment of various diseases.

The biological drugs market in Europe is growing due to increasing aging population in the region. For instance, according to a UN report, elderly people accounted for 23.2% of the total population in Germany in 2000, and the number is expected to reach 33.2% by 2025. Aging can lead to certain disorders such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma, which require effective biological drugs for their treatment.

The use of generics, including biosimilars is growing globally at an accelerated rate.– Due to healthcare reform there is a big opportunity for biosimilars as doctors are incentivized to find and

prescribe lower cost treatments without negatively effecting patient care.– Insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid are forcing patients to try generics first and only pay for branded

drugs if the patients doctor can show it is necessary to attain the same health benefit.

Page 16: The C1 Expression System Reinventing Biologic Drug Production

Dyadic recently delivered what we believe to be sufficient quantities of a second vaccine produced using C1 for Sanofi to test in mice trials.– Objective of this mice trial is to see if the same encouraging

results that were obtained in the first mice trial reported in a Press Release on October, 7 2015, will be reproduced with this second C1 produced vaccine.• “C1 produced vaccine showed an equal or better immune

response in mice trials than the existing vaccine”

We are working on expressing and producing sufficient quantities of additional vaccine variants in the Sanofi research project for further evaluation by Sanofi.

Reproducing encouraging results

Dyadic Nederland's, BV. is using C1 to express vaccines and neutralizing agents which if such research is successful we anticipate the C1 platform will be chosen as a preferred platform within the ZAPI research project.

– Two of the objectives we hope to attain through the ZAPI funded research project are as follows:

• Additional examples of vaccines and neutralizing reagents against emerging pathogens expressed from C1.

• C1 produced proteins regulatory pathway identified, and carried out at least in part, through collaborative partnerships between human and veterinary medical institutions, governmental regulatory agencies, expert academic groups and industrial partners.

ZAPI is a multi year project which full results may not be known for 3 - 4 years.

WHY BIOSIMILARS?AND WHY NOW?

Page 20: The C1 Expression System Reinventing Biologic Drug Production

Biosimilars Are Helping To Make Healthcare More Affordable

Today, the healthcare landscape is rapidly evolving. One key factor driving this change is the increasing use of biologic medications. Biologic medicines offer important treatment options for disabling and life-threatening diseases.

Unfortunately, the cost of biologic drugs can be prohibitively expensive. With more patients now shouldering out-of-pocket expenses for medications, there is an urgent need to provide expanded access to affordable biologics. Biosimilars offer the exciting possibility of providing patients lower cost alternatives to branded biologic products.

20

Biosimilars

Page 21: The C1 Expression System Reinventing Biologic Drug Production

As the aging population grows in developed and undevelopedcountries there is a growing need to deliver more medicinesand therapies to more people around the world faster, ingreater volumes and at lower cost

Investment into biosimilars is at an all-time high, with over 70biosimlar mAbs under development with over a dozen in PhaseI, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials

First biosimilar, Zarxio (filgrastim-sndz), was approved by theU.S. FDA in March 2015

Drug companies continue to invest heavily into makingincremental changes to their existing drugs, and manufacturingprocesses, such as developing and producing drugs using Chocells

“Global Biosimilar Market Outlook 2020”, the biosimilarmarket, was worth US$ 1.89 Billion (2014), expected to reachUS$25.53 Billion (2020), growing at a CAGR of 54.4%.3

There is little sign yet of any disruptive improvement in theefficiency of drug research translating into cheaper medicines.The health systems and insurers have little choice but to paythe drug companies whatever they are ask for.

2015 – Biosimilars continue to make steady progress

Biosimilars progress in 2015

Page 24: The C1 Expression System Reinventing Biologic Drug Production

Where Are Biosimilars Currently Available? Biosimilars are already available worldwide through biosimilar approval pathways implemented in

countries across the globe. The European Union has been approving biosimilars since 2006. Other highly regulated markets

such as Japan, Australia, and Canada have been approving biosimilars since 2010. Millions of patients have already received treatment in highly regulated markets with the same level

of safety and efficacy as the reference biologics.3

The first biosimilar was approved in the United States in 2015. As biosimilars become more prevalent and accessible, experts predict savings to the U.S.

healthcare system could range from $44B to $250B through 2025.1

Accelerating Global Adoption of Biosimilars

When 10,000 liter production

fermenter can be reduced to

200 liter the saving is significant

in 3 ways:

1) Capital investment

required to build launch

capacity

2) factory with launch

capacity needs to be

constructed 24 month

before FDA approval,

or very costly CMO

3) FDA license easier for

small factory
