BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) is a clinical-stage company
developing innovative drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders (Long COVID, Alzheimer's disease
and Parkinson's disease) and advanced liver disease. In neurodegenerative disease, the Company's drug candidate bezisterim

are key features in patients with neurological symptoms of Long COVID. In liver disease, the Company's Orphan drug candidate BIV201
(continuous infusion terlipressin), with FDA Fast Track status, is being evaluated and discussed with guidance received from the FDA regarding
the design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the reduction of further decompensation in participants with liver cirrhosis and
ascites. The active agent is approved in the U.S. and in about 40 countries for related complications of advanced liver cirrhosis. For
