satisfactory manner; whether the results of preclinical studies or early clinical trials will be indicative of the results of later clinical trials; whether the Company’s product candidates will advance in the clinical trials process on a timely basis or at all; whether the clinical trial results will warrant submission of applications for regulatory approval; whether the Company will make regulatory submissions for product candidates on a timely basis or at all; whether the Company’s product candidates will receive approvals from regulatory agencies on a timely basis or at all; whether the Company’s ongoing and planned commercial launches will be successful; whether physicians, patients and other key decision makers will accept clinical trial results, whether we can successfully enter into strategic partnerships; whether the Company can protect its intellectual property; the achievement of future milestone payments associated with recently-divested hemostasis and cardiovascular products; and such other factors as are set forth in the risk factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including,

Carbavance (meropenem-vaborbactam) phase III trial results

Background

• Complicated UTIs are a major cause of hospitalization

• Anatomic or functional abnormalities, or co-morbidities

• Enterobacteriaceae (E. coli, Klebsiella sp.) common causes

• Treated in inpatient setting with cephalosporins, piperacillin-tazobacatam, fluoroquinolones and carbapenems

• Emerging carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae pose a major and increasing threat to therapeutic effectiveness

Carbavance® (meropenem-vaborbactam) is an investigational agent not approved for commercial use in any market

Carbavance (meropenem-vaborbactam) phase III trial results

Rationale

Carbavance: combination designed to treat CRE infections

Meropenem

• Widely used carbapenem

• Standard-of-care for serious G- infections

• High potency and safety

• Broad spectrum coverage

• Resistant to ESBLs

Vaborbactam

• First in a new class of BLIs

• Discovered at MDCO labs

• Potent inhibitory activity optimized against KPC carbapenemase

• Pharmacologically well-matched with meropenem
