Presenting a poster at The Liver Meeting® 2021, being held November 12-15, 2021, confirming that CCL24, the target for Chemomab’s first-in-class monoclonal antibody CM-101, induces the liver inflammation and fibrosis seen in primary cholangitis sclerosis (PSC) and other
diseases. The preclinical data also show CM-101 can interfere with the core fibrotic and inflammatory mechanisms driving the pathophysiology of PSC, providing further evidence that CM-101 potentially could be an effective treatment for PSC
and for other fibrotic and inflammatory diseases.

Hosted Webinar featuring KOL Dr. Dinesh Khanna, who discussed
the systemic sclerosis (SSc) treatment landscape, high unmet medical need for more holistic therapies, and how use of composite endpoints could facilitate the clinical development of disease-modifying therapies. Chemomab researchers
highlighted the extensive data supporting CM-101’s anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects and unveiled the design of the upcoming Phase 2 clinical trial in SSc, expected to begin in early 2022.

Presented data on CM-101 at the Fifth Annual Antifibrotic Drug
Development Summit highlighting the role of CCL24 as a key target for fibrosis and inflammation, including data describing the preclinical validation of CCL24, the development process for CM-101 from discovery to clinical trials,
and optimization of the clinical trial design using patient samples.

Announced collaboration with Leeds University to further elucidate the
role of CCL24 in the vascular damage associated with systemic sclerosis. Led by Professor Francesco Del Galdo, Head of the Scleroderma Program at the Leeds Musculoskeletal Biomedical Research Centre, the collaboration seeks to
provide additional insights into the mechanisms underlying CCL24-associated vascular damage. It also could uncover additional application opportunities for CM-101.
