Revolutionizing Animal Disease Prevention is our Mission:•We believe all animals should be protected from preventable disease; Mazen can turn

that belief into a reality

•Mazen will develop, manufacture, and commercialize orally delivered vaccines for farm and companion animals

•We will disrupt the traditional animal vaccine market in four distinct ways:• More cost effective – deliver vaccines that remove today’s economic threshold to vaccination• Improved safety – develop vaccines with a safer method of administration for animals and

workers• Greater efficacy – produce vaccines with dual protection (systemic and mucosal) against disease• Greater stability– removing the need for a cold chain supply chain and improving supply reliability

Demonstrated Platform Technology

§ Oral vaccination has demonstrated protection in multiple species – monogastric and polygastric mammals as well as birds and fish

§ Oral vaccination has addressed multiple diseases – both enteric and non-enteric

§ Efficacy shown comparable to commercially available vaccines, injectables, modified live

§ Oral administration enables both a systemic response (IgG) as well as a mucosal response (IgA). Antibody responses also observed in fish.

Mazen’s Valley fever vaccine first to indicate protection against a fungal disease

Fungal infection impacting mammals cause severe lung, spleen and bone infection, often leading to death. Approximately 12M dogs are candidates for the vaccine in the Southwest U.S. There is no vaccine for Valley fever today – Mazen has a solution.

• Focus on Swine• As first demonstration of platform

technology, Mazen will focus on development and commercialization of swine vaccines• PEDV – Scale-up; sow studies; producer

testing• PCV – Initiate program upon funding

• Relationships with producers will enable early testing, implementation and sales• One producer agreement already in

place• Other discussions on-going

• CVB approval anticipated in 202222

• VF development to approval and out-license• Valuable asset can provide revenue for

production animal vaccine development• CVB approval anticipated in 2021

• Upside potential supported with non-dilutive funding• USDA SBIR Grants for Coccidiosis in

chicken & Pancreas Disease in Salmon
