ABOUT ENLIVEX

Enlivex will be the first publicly-listed company to develop a treasury strategy centered on RAIN, which will serve as the primary treasury reserve asset of the Company. In adopting its new treasury policy, Enlivex intends to provide investors with exposure to RAIN and to advocate for its role as digital capital.

In addition, Enlivex has an operating business focused on late-stage clinical development of AllocetraTM, a novel therapy designed to treat the joint disease osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is by far the most common form of arthritis, affecting more than 32.5 million Americans and more than 300 million individuals worldwide. About half of knees with ACL injuries develop osteoarthritis within 5 to 15 years. 78 million Americans are projected to have osteoarthritis by the year 2040. Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis is particularly prevalent and disabling, with 40% of men and 47% of women developing knee osteoarthritis in their lifetimes. Osteoarthritis accounts for over one million hospitalizations annually in the United States, primarily for total joint replacement. The burden of osteoarthritis is enormous, and the need for treatments that reduce pain and attendant disability for persons with osteoarthritis is critical. To the Company's knowledge, there are currently no medications approved by either the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA) that have been demonstrated to arrest, slow or reverse progression of structural damage in the joint.
