Ad Hoc Announcement Pursuant to Art. 53 LR

Geneva, Switzerland, September 19, 2024 - Addex Therapeutics (SIX/NASDAQ: ADXN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a portfolio of novel small molecule allosteric modulators for neurological disorders, announced today that its provisional half-year and second quarter net results have increased significantly in 2024 compared to 2023 and first quarter 2024 results primarily due to the sale of part of its business to Neurosterix Pharma Sàrl on April 2, 2024.

The provisional result amount to a net gain of CHF 9.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of CHF 5.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The increase of CHF 14.9 million is primarily due to the gross proceeds of CHF 5.0 million received in cash from the sale of a part of Addex’s business and the fair value of the 20% equity interest in Neurosterix US holdings LLC received as part of the consideration and recorded at fair value of CHF 9.4 million on April 2, 2024. The cash position of the Group amounted to CHF 3.8 million as of June 30, 2024.

The 2024 half-year results are still under review and could be subject to change before their final publication.

We will issue our Half-Year 2024 Financial Results on September 30, 2024. Tim Dyer, CEO and Mikhail Kalinichev, Head of Translational Science, will provide a business update and a review of the Addex product pipeline during a teleconference and webcast for investors, analysts and media at 16:00 CEST (15:00 BST / 10:00 EDT / 07:00 PDT) the same day.
