The Inducement Warrants will only be exercisable for cash, except in limited circumstances.

Item 8.01 Other Events. On January 16, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing it has completed the analysis of the complete 12-week safety and efficacy results for NORSE EIGHT, the second of two adequate and well controlled clinical trials evaluating ONS-5010 in wet age-related macular degeneration ("AMD") patients. ONS-5010 demonstrated noninferiority to ranibizumab at week 12 in the NORSE EIGHT trial. Based on the completed analysis of the 12-week results, the Company plans to resubmit the Biologics License Application ("BLA") for ONS-5010 in the first quarter of calendar 2025. The difference in the mean between ONS-5010 and ranibizumab was -1.009 best corrected visual acuity ("BCVA") letters with a 95% confidence interval of (-2.865, 0.848) in the NORSE EIGHT trial. Applying the statistical parameters from the week 8 primary endpoint with the lower bound of the non-inferiority margin at -3.5 with a 95% confidence interval, the noninferiority margin was met at week 12 (p=0.0043), indicating that the two study arms are not different at this timepoint. In the intent-to-treat ("ITT") population, NORSE EIGHT demonstrated a mean 5.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ONS-5010 arm and 6.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ranibizumab arm. Mean change in BCVA at week 12 Non-Inferiority ONS-5010 1.25 mg +5.5 letters 95%CI: (-2.865, 0.848) P-value: 0.0043 Ranibizumab 0.5mg +6.5 letters Additionally, the change in central retinal thickness, a measure of anatomical response, was similar in both study arms at all three study timepoints. Mean change in central retinal thickness Week 4 Week 8 Week 12 ONS-5010 1.25 mg -106.6 microns -117.7 microns -123.9 microns Ranibizumab 0.5mg -108.4 microns -120.9 microns -127.3microns As previously announced, in the NORSE EIGHT trial, ONS-5010 did not meet the pre-specified non-inferiority endpoint at week 8 set forth in the special protocol assessment (SPA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administra
