Mesoblast (ASX:MSB; Nasdaq:MESO) is developing and commercializing allogeneic cellular medicines to treat serious and life-threatening inflammatory diseases with significant, unmet medical needs. The Company's Phase 3 off-the-shelf mesenchymal lineage cell product candidates are: • RYONCIL™ (remestemcel-L) for steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (acute GVHD) • Remestemcel-L for moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19 infection • REVASCOR® for advanced chronic heart failure, and • MPC-06-ID for chronic low back pain due to degenerative disc disease. The Company’s proprietary manufacturing processes yield industrial-scale, cryopreserved, off-the-shelf, cellular medicines. These cell therapies, with defined pharmaceutical release criteria, are planned to be readily available to patients worldwide. Mesoblast’s approach to product development is to ensure rigorous scientific investigations are performed with well-characterized cell populations in order to understand mechanisms of action for each potential indication. Extensive preclinical translational studies guide clinical trials that are structured to meet stringent safety and efficacy criteria set by international regulatory agencies. All trials are conducted under the continuing review of independent Data Safety Monitoring Boards comprised of independent medical experts and statisticians. Mesoblast has an extensive patent portfolio comprising approximately 1,000 patents and patent applications with protection extending through 2040 in all major markets. This intellectual property portfolio covers composition of matter, manufacturing, and therapeutic applications of mesenchymal lineage cells. The Company believes this patent estate provides strong global protection.

Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (NasdaqCM: PSTI, TASE: PSTI/PLTR) is a clinical-stage biotherapy company using placental cells and a unique, proprietary, three-dimensional (3D) technology platform to develop cell therapies for conditions such as inflammation, ischemia, hematological disorders, or exposure to radiation. Pluristem’s PLacental eXpanded (PLX) cells are placenta-derived, mesenchymal-like adherent stromal cells that are designed to be administered to patients without the need for tissue or genetic matching. These cells release soluble biomolecules, such as cytokines, chemokines and growth factors, which act in a paracrine or endocrine manner to facilitate healing of damaged tissues by stimulating the body’s own regenerative mechanisms. The Company’s proprietary, 3D expansion technology can be used to grow PLX cells in mass quantities with batch-to-batch consistency at Pluristem’s FDA, EMA and PMDA-approved, state-of-the art manufacturing facility. Pluristem’s first product candidate is PLX-PAD, a cell therapy product for the treatment of tissues that have been damaged by ischemia, muscle trauma, or inflammation. Pluristem’s second cell therapy product in development, PLX-R18, is designed to treat hematological conditions including ARS, insufficient hematopoietic recovery following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) , certain cancers or cancer treatments
