CUTISS AG receives Swissmedic approval to commence Phase IIb denovoSkin™ Trials in burns in adults and children.

Zurich, November 02, 2017 – CUTISS AG today announced that it has received approval from
Swissmedic to commence two Phase IIb Trials using denovoSkin™ in the treatment of burns in adults
and children. In Switzerland, these Trials will be recruiting patients at two centers, the University
Children’s Hospital Zurich where Phase I was recently completed, and the University Hospital Zurich.
The Trials will expand to other two centers, The Dutch Burn Center in The Netherlands, and the
University Hospital in Birmingham in UK, subject to approval by the National Authorities. The Trials
are designed to treat up to 15 burn patients each.

“The aim of these Phase IIb Trials is to validate the efficacy of denovoSkin™ against standard of care in
burns” said Dr. Fabienne Hartmann, CTO at CUTISS AG. “We are also delighted to continue the Trials
where they originated, at University Children’s Hospital Zurich. We want to thank the patients and
their families who have taken part in the trials so far and those that will support our future efforts”,
said Dr. Daniela Marino, CEO at CUTISS AG.

About Burns

Every year in the world, more than 11 millions of people burn large areas of their bodies and need
surgical intervention to restore skin function. In many cases, standard of care leaves patients with
discomforting and debilitating scars. denovoSkin™ could significantly improve the life quality of
patients worldwide by reducing scarring after transplantation.
