<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">GT
Biopharma, Inc. is an immuno-oncology biotechnology company focused
on innovative treatments based on the company&#x2019;s proprietary
Tri and Tetra-specific Natural Killer Cell Engagers (TriKEs&#x2122;
and TetraKEs) and bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)
platforms. GT's most advanced oncology drug candidate, OXS-1550
(DT2219) is a novel bispecific scFv recombinant fusion protein-drug
conjugate composed of the variable regions of the heavy and light
chains of anti-CD19 and anti-CD22 antibodies and a modified form of
diphtheria toxin as its cytotoxic drug payload. OXS-1550 has
demonstrated success in early human clinical trials in patients
with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma or leukemia. In addition,
GT's TriKE platform will address a number of cancer types. GT's
nervous system platform is focused on acquiring or discovering and
patenting late-stage, de-risked, and close-to-market improved
treatments for nervous system diseases (Neurology and Pain) and
shepherding them through the approval process to the NDA. GT
Biopharma's neurology products currently include PainBrake, as well
as treatments for the symptoms of myasthenia gravis, and motion
sickness.</font></div>
