Scott Dunbar, acting Chief Executive Officer
stated "These are exciting times for Second Sight as we welcome the Nano Precision Medical team. For those who don't
know, Nano Precision Medical, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical business which develops miniaturized subdermal implants utilizing its
proprietary NanoPortal technology to enable long-term, near constant-rate delivery of a broad range of medicines to treat
chronic diseases. These new drug implants are designed to address medication non-adherence, a major contributor to poor clinical
outcomes in patients. NPM is planning to initiate a First-In-Human study with its lead asset, NPM-119, an exenatide implant for
the long-term treatment of patients with Type II diabetes by the end of this year."
"For Second Sight, our early feasibility trial
of Orion continues, now in its fourth year. While a few participants discontinued the study due to medical reasons unrelated to Orion,
we are seeing encouraging results in the remaining study subjects. When we complete the merger, which we anticipate will be in the latter
part of August or as soon as practicable thereafter, we look forward to working with the new leadership team and remain committed to identifying
and executing strategies to bring the Orion opportunity to the many potential patients who could benefit from this innovative technology,"
concluded Mr. Dunbar.
