Leonildo Delgado's questions to Addex Therapeutics (ADXN) leadership • Q1 2024
Question
Leonildo Delgado of Baader Helvea inquired about the potential financial upside for Addex from the Neurosterix transaction beyond the initial CHF 5 million payment, particularly regarding its 20% equity stake, and asked for a timeline on Janssen's decision for the ADX71149 epilepsy program.
Answer
Executive Timothy Dyer explained that Addex's 20% equity in Neurosterix was valued at approximately $20 million post-transaction, with significant upside potential tied to the M4 PAM program's progress, citing recent multi-billion dollar deals in the space. Regarding the epilepsy program, Dyer stated that after the Phase II study missed its primary endpoint, Addex expects the full data set from Janssen in H2 2024, likely Q3, after which next steps will be determined, with a potential outcome being the return of the molecule to Addex.
