A BIG STEP FORWARD WITH FDA IN U.S.

Significant events in the third quarter of 2021

• Implantica incorporated wholly owned subsidiary in the US, Implantica Inc.
• Implantica filed a supplement to the pre-submission for RefluxStop™ with the FDA.
• Implantica appointed new Chief Commercial Officer with proven track record in global sales of medical products. The commercial team has been strengthened with several highly experienced sales and marketing professionals. Implantica also strengthened its management team with a new VP Quality & Regulatory Affairs professional with over 20 years’ experience.
• Implantica performed the unanimously decided downstream merger with its holding company, Implantica MediSwiss AG, and a split of the class B-shares, not affecting the capital of the listed shareholders.

Significant events after the end of the period

• The FDA has indicated that they would agree to receive a PMA marketing application for RefluxStop™ based solely on existing European clinical data. If approved, this would allow for U.S. market entry without a premarket U.S. clinical trial. As agreed with FDA, Implantica will provide the FDA with additional longer-term safety and efficacy data from its ongoing European clinical investigation at 4.5-year follow-up.
• Surgeons from several hospitals received training on the RefluxStop™ procedure, including four of the UK’s most influential anti-reflux surgeons, as well as several German hospitals. These Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) are now in the process of screening patients and obtaining hospital approval to start operating with RefluxStop™.
