Forward - looking statements are statements other than historical facts and may include statements that address future operating, financial or business performance or Altamira Therapeutics' strategies or e xpe ctations. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward - looking words such as "may", "might", "will", "should", "expects", "pla ns", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "projects", "potential", "outlook" or "continue", or the negative of these terms or othe r c omparable terminology. Forward - looking statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs and involve significant risks and uncertai nties that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by these stateme nts . These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the Company’s operation as a development - stage company with limited ope rating history and a history of operating losses, its ability to timely and successfully reposition our Company around RNA therapeut ics and to divest or partner its business in neurotology, rhinology and allergology, the market acceptance and resulting sales from Bentrio ® in international markets, the Company’s dependence on the success of AM - 125, AM - 401 and AM - 411, which are still in preclinical or clinical develo pment, may eventually prove to be unsuccessful, if its product candidates obtain regulatory approval, its product candidates being subje ct to expensive, ongoing obligations and continued regulatory overview, enacted and future legislation may increase the difficulty and cost fo r t he Company to obtain marketing approval and commercialization, the Company’s ability to obtain, maintain and protect its intellectual prope rty rights and operate its business without infringing or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others and the chance that ce rtain intangible assets related to the Company’s product candidates will be impaired.

8 NASDAQ: CYTO 8 NASDAQ: CYTO AM - 401: Stop the “Beating Heart” of Tumors *KPC pancreatic tumor model in mice; Strand et al., 2019 Knock down various KRAS mutations with poly KRAS mut OligoPhore υ nanoparticles to inhibit cell proliferation in KRAS driven colorectal, pancreatic, or non small cell lung cancer. • Mutated KRAS may cause cancer to grow • Found in 1/5 of all human cancers, particularly in: – Pancreatic cancer (85 - 90%) – Colorectal cancer (40%) – Non - small cell lung cancer (30 - 35%) • 150,000 cases diagnosed in US p.a. • ~1M deaths per year world - wide • Considered “undruggable” for decades ▪ Scrambled siRNA nanoparticle ▪ poly KRAS mut nanoparticle Many mutations known, G12D, G12V, and G12C accounting for >50% OligoPhore υ poly KRAS mut significantly reduces pancreatic tumor volume growth KPC pancreatic tumor model in mice; Strand et al., 2019 OligoPhore υ poly KRAS mut siRNA transfects tumor cells, not healthy or uninvolved cells

 

 

AM - 401 KEY DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS 9 NASDAQ: CYTO KRAS driven cancer IND targeted for 2023 AM - 401 High unmet medical need – most aggressive tumors Multiple other small molecule inhibitors under development (G12C, G12D…), but few competing RNA projects (G12D or KRAS modulators) Small molecule G12C inhibitors approved in NSCLC • Sotorasib ( Lumakras , Amgen), Adagrasib ( Krazati , Mirati ) poly KRAS mut allows to target different mutations and is thus polyvalent Blocking production of KRAS by degrading mRNA to cause less resistance than inhibition of KRAS Small molecule inhibitors have significant side effects, particularly when combined with other agents OligoPhore χ targets specifically tumor cells

 

 

10 NASDAQ: CYTO 10 NASDAQ: CYTO AM - 411: Block Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis Knock down NF - κ B (p65), key checkpoint in RA inflammation. • Chronic autoimmune disease • Causes joint swelling and pain – Reduced QoL and productivity • Affects 1 out of 28 women / 59 men • No cure available, but various treatment options: – Disease modifying anti - rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) – Non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – Corticosteroids • Major shortcomings of therapies: – Drug resistance (up to 50% of patients) – Systemic adverse reactions (e.g. rash, hair loss, altered liver function, low blood cell counts, nausea, weight loss, increased infections, and neuropathy) OligoPhore υ p65 stabilizes ankle swelling and reduces arthritis score OligoPhore υ p65 reduces inflammation and protects against bone erosion Collagen - antibody induced arthritis model in mice, Zhou et al., 2014. ▪ Control ▪ Peptide nanoparticle ▪ Peptide + p65 nanoparticle

 

 

AM - 411 KEY DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS 11 NASDAQ: CYTO Rheumatoid arthritis IND targeted for 2024 AM - 411 Global rheumatoid arthritis market = $57.9 Billion in 2019 → $62.9 Billion in 2027 • Expiration of patents, biosimilars arriving • High hopes for novel Tx class of JAK inhibitors gave way to disappointment due to safety issues Mediators of inflammation play many physiological roles in healthy tissues – AM - 411 targets only inflamed tissues Reduced systemic side effects Blocking production of an NF - κ B component by degrading mRNA to cause less resistance than inhibition of NF - κ B Less likelihood of resistance High unmet medical need
