Forward-looking Statement This presentation contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including without limitation, statements regarding, among other things, the potential number of patients who could be treated by tebipenem HBr and market demand for tebipenem HBr generally; the potential regulatory path forward for tebipenem HBr, the potential approval of tebipenem HBr by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the timing thereof; the potential commercialization of tebipenem HBr and its future value, the potential receipt of milestone payments and royalties on future sales of tebipenem HBr under the GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property (No. 3) Limited (GSK) license agreement; the effectiveness of tebipenem HBr and its potential impact on healthcare resource utilizations; the status of the data analysis for SPR720; the timing, progress and results of the Company’s clinical trials and its research and development programs, including management’s assessment of such results; the timing of the availability of data from the Company’s clinical trials; the timing of the Company’s filings with regulatory agencies; product candidate benefits; competitive position; cash runway, business strategies; potential growth opportunities; potential market size; projected costs and the availability of additional non-dilutive funding from governmental agencies beyond any initially funded awards. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “aim,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intent,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including whether the FDA will ultimately approve tebipenem HBr and, if so, the timing of any such approval; whether the FDA will require any additional clinical data or place labeling restrictions on the use of tebipenem HBr that would add costs for the Company, delay approval and/or reduce the commercial prospects of tebipenem HBr; the Company’s need for additional funding; the lengthy, expensive, and uncertain process of clinical drug development; the Company’s reliance on third parties to manufacture, develop, and commercialize its product candidates, if approved; the ability to develop and commercialize the Company’s product candidates, if approved; the Company’s ability to retain key personnel; whether results obtained in preclinical studies and clinical trials will be indicative of results obtained in future clinical trials and whether preliminary data from the Company’s clinical trials will be predictive of final results from such trials; the Company’s dependence on raising capital and whether the Company’s product candidates will advance through the preclinical development and clinical trial process on a timely basis, or at all, taking into account such factors as the effects of possible regulatory delays, slower than anticipated patient enrollment, manufacturing challenges, clinical trial design, clinical data requirements and clinical outcomes; whether the results of such clinical trials will warrant submission for approval from the FDA or equivalent foreign regulatory agencies; decisions made by the FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory agencies with respect to the development and commercialization of the Company’s product candidates; the commercial potential of the Company’s product candidates; the Company’s ability to obtain adequate third-party reimbursement for its product candidates; whether the Company will satisfy all of the pre-conditions to receipt of the milestone payments under its various license and collaboration agreements; the Company’s ability to implement its strategic plans; the Company’s ability to obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property and other proprietary rights for its product candidates; the risks and uncertainties related to market conditions; whether the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to fund its continuing operations for the periods and/or trials anticipated; and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and risks described in other filings the Company may make with the SEC in the future. The forward- looking statements included in this presentation represent the Company’s views as of the date of this presentation. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. 2

Tebipenem HBr Phase 3 Clinical Trial in cUTI (PIVOT-PO) A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Multi-center Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Orally Administered Tebipenem Pivoxil Hydrobromide (TBP-PI-HBr), Compared to Intravenously Administered Imipenem-cilastatin in Patients with Complicated Urinary Tract Infection (cUTI) or Acute Pyelonephritis (AP) Treatment Population Treatment Arms Endpoints Primary Endpoint: TBP-PI-HBR (600 mg) orally and saline infusion IV, every 6 Overall response at TOC in Patients with a diagnosis hours, 7-10 days (n=844) of cUTI (incl. AP) micro-ITT population 1690 patients randomized R Primary Analysis: (stratified by age, baseline diagnosis, baseline Imipenem-cilastatin (500 mg) IV and matched placebo patients Assessment of non-inferiority urinary tract tablets, orally every 6 hours, 7-10 days (n=846) randomized (NI) in micro-ITT population, instrumentation status) 1:1 based on a 10% NI margin (blinded) Entered FDA Special Protocol Assessment Agreement (SPA): 1 The FDA has indicated that positive and persuasive results from PIVOT-PO, along with previously completed studies , could be sufficient to support approval of tebipenem HBr as a treatment for cUTI, including pyelonephritis, for a limited use indication. 1. supported by confirmatory evidence from PK/PD and breakpoint package 9 AP: acute pyelonephritis; cUTI: complicated urinary tract infection; NI: non-inferiority; TBP-PI-HBr/tebipenem HBr: tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide (formerly SPR994)


Phase 3 Met Primary Endpoint Trial stopped early for efficacy at pre-specified Interim Analysis Tebipenem HBr Imipenem-cilastatin Adjusted treatment (oral, 600 mg, every 6 hours) (IMI-CIL) (IV, 500 mg, difference every 6 hours) Overall response at test 58.5% (261/446) 60.2% (291/483) −1.3%; 95% CI: −7.5%, 4.8% of cure visit 1 Clinical response 93.5% (417/446) 95.2% (460/483) −1.6% (95% CI: −4.7%, 1.4%) Microbiological 60.3% (269/446) 61.3% (296/483) −0.8% (95% CI: −6.9%, 5.3%) response Conclusions: Oral tebipenem HBr was non-inferior to IV IMI-CIL for the treatment of cUTI including pyelonephritis • Clinical cure rates >90% at test of cure and were sustained through late follow up • Microbiological eradication rates similar between treatment groups across visits • Treatment differences consistent with the primary analysis population across drug-resistant phenotypes of clinical importance (including ESBL+), for overall, clinical, and microbiological response at each visit The safety profile of tebipenem HBr was overall comparable to IMI-CIL • The two most frequent TEAEs were diarrhea and headache across treatment groups 10 1. Resolution or significant improvement of baseline cUTI symptoms, and no new symptoms such that no new antibiotics are given

SPA: Special Protocol Assessment. 1. Under the terms of the GSK License Agreement, the milestone amount was revised from $150M after PIVOT-PO was stopped early for efficacy following completion of a pre-specified interim analysis of data from 1,690 patients enrolled in the trial, thereby reducing the overall cost of the study to the Company; the maximum potential milestone payment of $150M was contingent upon the trial continuing to full 12 enrollment, with 2,637 patients enrolled in the trial.
