Jefferies Healthcare Conference Exhibit 99.1
Forward-looking Statements This
presentation contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, the initiation, timing, progress and results of the Company's preclinical studies and
clinical trials and its research and development programs, including management's assessment of such results; regulatory activities, including the Company's expectation that positive results from a single pivotal Phase 3
clinical trial of tebipenem HBr and ancillary supportive studies to be conducted in parallel with the Phase 3 trial will support the approval of tebipenem HBr; the timing of the availability of data from the Company's clinical trials; the
timing of the Company's filings with regulatory agencies; product candidate benefits; competitive position; business strategies; objectives of management; potential growth opportunities; potential market size; reimbursement matters;
possible or assumed future results of operations; projected costs; the intention, completion and timing related to the Company's rights offering and the intended use of proceeds from the rights offering; and the Company's cash
forecast and the availability of additional non-dilutive funding from governmental agencies beyond any initially funded awards. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as "may," "will,"
"should," "expect," "plan," "aim," "anticipate," "could," "intent," "target," "project," "contemplate," "believe,"
"estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this
presentation are forward-looking statements. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans,
intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including: whether results obtained in preclinical studies and clinical trials will be indicative of results obtained in future clinical
trials and whether preliminary data from the Company's clinical trials will be predictive of final results from such trials; whether the Company's product candidates will advance through the preclinical development and clinical
trial process on a timely basis, or at all, taking into account such factors as the effects of possible regulatory delays, slower than anticipated patient enrollment, manufacturing challenges, clinical trial design, clinical data requirements and
clinical outcomes; whether the results of such clinical trials will warrant submission for approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or equivalent foreign regulatory agencies; decisions made by the FDA and
equivalent foreign regulatory agencies with respect to the development and commercialization of the Company's product candidates; the commercial potential of the Company's product candidates; the Company's ability to
obtain adequate third-party reimbursement for its product candidates; the Company's ability to implement its strategic plans; the Company's ability to obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property and other proprietary rights for
its product candidates; the risks and uncertainties related to market conditions and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions related to the company's rights offering; whether the Company's cash resources will be sufficient
to fund its continuing operations for the periods and/or trials anticipated; and other factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's periodic reports and the prospectus relating to the Company's rights
offering filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and risks described in other filings the Company may make with the SEC in the future. The forward-looking statements included in this presentation represent the
Company's views as of the date of this presentation. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point
in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation.

Rare Disease Pipeline
Severe cough "It [coughing]
could go on for a good 90 minutes, and I'm just down on the floor, on my knees, grabbing my ribs, hacking." Fatigue "I've been in the grocery store with the shopping cart, but I didn't have the energy to wait in line to check out."
Dyspnea Limits the types of activities that people are able to do, including walking, shopping, or traveling. Non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease (NTM) causes chronic and serious lung disease with debilitating symptoms that leads to a decline in
lung function. It can have a significant physical and emotional impact on patients. SPR720 has orphan drug designation and could be the first and only oral treatment for NTM NTM: An Absence of Effective and Well-tolerated Drugs Leaves Patients
