Broad and diverse vaccine pipeline: Novel preclinical vaccine candidates Esteemed Collaborators: University of Oxford, Cincinnati Children’s, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Secured Funding: Recent IPO and PIPE provides lengthened cash runway for development BWV Highlights 4

5 Overview ? Lead Vaccine Candidates: Universal and H1 Influenza vaccine candidates utilizing proprietary epitopes of limited variability (ELV) that remain present through viral mutation Esteemed Collaborators: University of Oxford, Cincinnati Children’s, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital AOM: acute otitis media ? Opportunistic Business Model : Exclusive licenses of assets and platforms, broad business development, opportunistic growth and expansion Broad and Diverse Vaccine Pipeline: Novel preclinical vaccine candidates Proprietary Versatile Vaccine Platform: POC data, multi - valent, scalable, flexible discovery engine with broad therapeutic capabilities AOM Prevention Candidate: Targeting Streptococcus pneumoniae to prevent AOM utilizing an intranasally delivered proprietary live - attenuated strain

Initial Public Offering NASDAQ $20M IPO Feb Nano Research Publication Novel S&P Vaccine Platform Versatility BWV - 101 Universal Flu BWV - 301 Noro/rotavirus Mar World Vaccine Congress New Data Supporting BWV - 101 Universal Influenza Vaccine Candidate (H3 and Flu B ELVs) Apr St. Jude Platform Expansion BWV - 201 license expanded to include platform for additional bacterial AOM targets May Instituto Butantan development of BWV - 101 in Brazil May 6 Recent Execution Nano Research Butantan Flu Collaboration

7 Novel Vaccine Pipeline Infectious Disease Program Candidate Preclinical Phase 1 Collaborator Universal Flu BWV - 101 H1 pre - pandemic BWV - 102 S. pneumo induced AOM (intranasal) BWV - 201 Norovirus / Rotavirus BWV - 301 Norovirus / Malaria BWV - 302

8 POC: animal models showed strong enhanced immunogenicity Our novel Shell and Protrusion (S&P) norovirus platform combines 2 or more immunogenic components: a norovirus antigen + at least one additional antigen = novel vaccines Versatile Nanoparticle VLP Vaccine Platform Discovery Engine: potentially stable, flexible, cost - effective nanoparticles Broad therapeutic capabilities & Partnering opportunities

9 Influenza BWV - 101 BWV - 102 Need for broad protection flu vaccine - Current annual flu vaccine effectiveness is up to 50% - 1 billion influenza infections each year, 3 – 5 million of which are considered severe; 290,000 to 650,000 deaths per year - Influenza A&B cause most of human illness each flu season Differentiated Approach - Global license with University of Oxford - Mathematical model for epitope identification - Epitopes of limited variability (ELV’s) are naturally immunogenic and cross - reactive - ELV’s are ideal vaccine targets for broad, long - term protection Current Status - BWV - 101: Universal flu (H1, H3, Flu B) - BWV - 102: H1 pre - pandemic flu - POC data for H1N1 published - H3 and Flu B data presented at the World Vaccine Congress - Provisional patents have been filed for H3N2 and Flu B ELVs

BWV’s ELV Vaccine Targets 10 o Mice data demonstrated cross - reactive immune response in historical influenza strains such as H10N3 (bird flu), and H5NX, H7NX, and H9NX Influenza A H3N2: “INDY” “MAIZ” Influenza B (Yamagata & Victoria): “TATI” Candidates Influenza A H1N1: “OREO” o Two epitopes with either 4 or 6 variants. Currently generating additional neutralization data o One epitope in 7 variants to cover the variability seen across these two lineages. Influenza A (H3N2) “antigenic thrift”

11 Norovirus - Rotavirus BWV - 301 BWV’s Differentiated Approach - Our S&P platform was co - invented by Xi Jason Jiang, Ph.D., and Ming Tan, Ph.D., of the Division of Infectious Disease at the Cincinnati Children’s - Provides two distinct VLP options allowing for multiple delivery pathways - Allows for single or multi - antigen presentation Impact / Need - Norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis, 700 million cases annually. - Rotavirus causes an estimated 111 million episodes of diarrhea - Rotavirus is the most common cause of diarrheal disease among infants and young children - No norovirus vaccine is available to date Current Status - Preclinical data from gnotobiotic pig studies showed BWV - 301 prevented severe gastroenteritis and reduces viral shedding - Preclinical mouse sera after immunization with the S 60 - VP8* nanoparticle exhibited higher neutralizing activity

12 Bacterial Induced - AOM BWV - 201 Need for broad protection vaccine - 5 million cases of AOM in the United States annually - Estimated $4.3 billion USD is spent on AOM treatment each year in the United States alone - Complications from AOM include sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) Differentiated Approach - Global license with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital - BWV - 201 is a ଉ live ଉ attenuated ଉ serotype - independent ଉ vaccine - Intranasal delivery - Production of vaccine is straightforward; utilizes the entire bacterium Current Status - Research funded by BWV to evaluate the viability of this vaccine platform to potentially provide protection against multiple pathogens including, non - typeable Haemophilus influenzae ( NTHi ) - License expansion, provisional patent filed

12 BWV Summary & Conclusion 1 2 3 4 Developing a broad portfolio of vaccine candidates Influenza, AOM induced s. pneumo , noro - rotavirus New ELV data for universal influenza Recent expansion of St. Jude License for BWV - 201 Secured Cash Runway to support ongoing development H3 & Flu B ELV data presented at WVC Potential to provide broad coverage of AOM causing pathogens $20m IPO and $8m PIPE
