We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative cardiovascular medicines. Our approved product CARDAMYST TM (etripamil) nasal spray is available in the United States and is the first and only FDA approved self-administered treatment for use by patients anywhere, anytime an attack of PSVT occurs. We continue to seek, either directly or through collaboration with our partners, marketing approval from regulatory agencies responsible for regions outside the United States. We are also developing etripamil for the indication of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate, or “AFib-RVR.” We are currently focusing our efforts and financial resources on (i) the commercialization of CARDAMYST TM (etripamil) nasal spray for the treatment of PSVT, (ii) the development of etripamil for the treatment of AFib-RVR and (iii) corporate development activities that have the potential to increase company value through strategic collaborations. CARDAMYST TM (etripamil) nasal spray for the Treatment of PSVT On December 12, 2025, we announced that the FDA approved our first commercial product, CARDAMYST (etripamil) nasal spray, a prescription medication for the conversion of acute symptomatic episodes of PSVT, to sinus rhythm in adults. We are focused on the commercialization of CARDAMYST, which became available in retail pharmacies in the first quarter of 2026. We manufacture CARDAMYST with a global supply chain that produces the active pharmaceutical ingredient, etripamil, and then formulates and assembles it into the delivery device, a nasal spray, before completing packaging of the saleable product which is then distributed via a third party logistics provider to wholesalers for delivery to retail pharmacies once prescriptions are received. To create demand, our sales team of approximately 60 representatives expects to engage healthcare providers who we believe will treat around 500,000 patients with a diagnosis of PSVT in 2026. We designed the molecule of etripamil, and we are commercializing and further developing the drug, a novel, potent, and rapid-onset calcium channel blocker, as a nasal spray to be administered by the patient to terminate episodes of transient cardiovascular conditions as they occur. Rapid pharmacological action is both appropriate and sufficient to resolve an episode of supraventricular tachycardia, or “SVT.” We are also developing etripamil to provide acute ventricular rate control for patients with symptomatic episodes of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate and are exploring other therapeutic applications in which a patient-administered, rapid-onset, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocking agent could provide patient benefit. In our work to develop potential therapies, we sought to create new chemical entities as analogs of known molecular classes with clinically validated mechanisms of action. Our goal was to preserve the beneficial pharmacology of existing molecules while altering their pharmacokinetic profile with focused medicinal chemistry to produce drugs that are fast acting. As a result, we created a series of novel non-dihydropyridine, L-type calcium channel blockers containing chemical ester moieties that preserved the desired pharmacology on the heart but that could be rapidly metabolized in the blood by serum esterases. Etripamil resulted from this effort as a new chemical entity with a fast pharmacodynamic effect in humans, relative to oral calcium channel blockers. We believe that the following attributes of etripamil make it a better treatment candidate for certain episodic cardiovascular conditions than current standards of care: • Action: Etripamil is designed to be rapidly metabolized by blood-borne esterases, with the goal of reducing either the duration of side effects that may occur with acute treatment or the long-term side effects that may occur with chronic drug therapy. 7 Table of Contents • Absorption: Etripamil is designed to be absorbed into the bloodstream in less than 10 minutes through the inner lining of the nose, yielding a rapid-onset pharmacologic pattern consistent with parenterally administered drugs. • Administration: Etripamil is designed, and has been investigated, to empower patients to self-administer treatment outside of a medical setting and as prompted by a patient’s symptoms.…
