Antibe Announces FDA Clinical Hold on Otenaproxesul and Legal Action by Nuance

Antibe Therapeutics Inc. (“Antibe” or the “Company” TSX: ATE, OTCQX: ATBPF) today announced that it received verbal notice on the afternoon of March 28, 2024 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) that otenaproxesul has been placed on clinical hold, postponing the initiation of the planned Phase II trial. Antibe expects to receive a formal Clinical Hold Letter from the FDA within 30 days outlining their rationale and further details.

Separately, the Company announced that Nuance Pharma Limited has commenced legal action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to seek recognition of and enforce the arbitration award in Ontario previously announced by Antibe in its press release of March 4, 2024. Nuance Pharma is seeking the appointment of a receiver as part of its relief; a hearing date has not been set.

In light of these developments and to better coordinate operational and governance matters, the Company's Board of Directors is forming an Executive Committee composed of Robert E. Hoffman, Chair of the Board; Dan Legault, CEO; and Yung Wu, Member of the Board.

Antibe will promptly inform the market when any additional material information is available.
