Tonmya: a Potential Bedtime Treatment for PTSD 5 First investigational new drug to show treatment effect in military-related PTSD in two potential pivotal efficacy studies • Phase 2 study (P201/AtEase) showed Tonmya 5.6 mg had a strong signal of treatment effect at Week 12 as measured by CAPS-51 • Phase 3 study (P301/HONOR) provided evidence of effectiveness as early as 4 weeks after treatment but diminished over time due to high placebo response Retrospective analysis showed persistent effectiveness at Week 12 in subgroup with trauma 9 years from screening • Both studies can be used as supportive evidence of efficacy and safety for Tonmya NDA submission • No serious or unexpected adverse events related to Tonmya were reported FDA feedback and acceptance on new Phase 3 study (P302/RECOVERY) received in November2 Patent protection through 2034 in U.S.3 • Composition of matter patent for transmucosal delivery of cyclobenzaprine Novel mechanism targets sleep quality • Memory processing during sleep is important to recovery from PTSD 1 CAPS-5 = Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 2 FDA Meeting Minutes, November 26, 2018; 3U.S. Patent No. 9,636,408 for eutectic proprietary Protectic™ formulation © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.
No Recognized Abuse Potential in Clinical Studies 6 Active ingredient is cyclobenzaprine, which is structurally related to tricyclic antidepressants • Cyclobenzaprine interacts with receptors that regulate sleep quality: 5-HT2A, 1-adrenergic and histamine H1 receptors • Cyclobenzaprine does NOT interact with the same receptors as traditional hypnotic sleep drugs, benzodiazepines or non-benzodiazepines that are associated with retrograde amnesia • Cyclobenzaprine-containing product was approved 40 years ago and current labeling (May 2018) indicates no abuse or dependence concern Tonmya NDA can be filed without drug abuse and dependency assessment studies • Discussed at March 9, 2017 meeting with the FDA © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

TNX 102 SL: Sublingual Formulation is Designed for Bedtime Administration 8 TNX-102 SL: Proprietary sublingual formulation of cyclobenzaprine (CBP) with transmucosal absorption • Innovation by design with patent protected CBP/mannitol eutectic • Rapid systemic exposure • Increases bioavailability during sleep • Avoids first-pass metabolism • Lowers exposure to long-lived active major metabolite, norcyclobenzaprine (norCBP) CBP undergoes extensive first-pass hepatic metabolism when orally ingested • Active major metabolite, norCBP1 • Long half-life (~72 hours) • Less selective for target receptors (5-HT2A, 1-adrenergic, histamine H1) • More selective for norepinephrine transporter and muscarinic M1 TNX-102 SL 505(b)(2) NDA approval can rely on the safety of the reference listed drug (AMRIX®)2 1 Daugherty et al., Abstract 728, Society of Biological Psychiatry 70th Annual Scientific Convention, May 14-16, 2015, Toronto Ontario, Canada 2 FDA Minutes (November 26, 2018) © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.
Tonmya: Hypothesized Novel Mechanism Targets Sleep Quality for Recovery from PTSD 9 PTSD is a disorder of recovery • Most people exposed to extreme trauma recover over a few weeks • In PTSD, recovery process impeded due to insufficient sleep-dependent memory processing1,2 Memory processing is essential to recovery • Vulnerability to memory intrusions and trauma triggers remains if no consolidation of new learning (extinction) Tonmya targets sleep quality3 • The active ingredient in Tonmya, cyclobenzaprine, interacts with receptors that regulate sleep quality: strongly binds and potently blocks 5-HT2A, 1-adrenergic and histamine H1 receptors, permissive to sleep-dependent recovery processes 1Straus LD, Acheson DT, Risbrough VB, Drummond SPA.

PTSD: Not Well Served by Approved Treatments 10 FDA-approved SSRIs, paroxetine and sertraline, are indicated as a treatment for PTSD • Neither drug has shown efficacy in military-related PTSD • Majority of male PTSD patients unresponsive or intolerant to current treatments • Side effects relating to sexual dysfunction, sleep disturbance and weight gain are commonly reported Characteristics of an ideal drug therapy that would be compatible and complementary with behavioral therapy • Lack of retrograde amnesia (e.g., unlike off-label use of benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepines) • Lack of interference on sleep (e.g., unlike approved SSRIs) Tonmya is being investigated in both military and civilian PTSD and is expected to be indicated as a “treatment for PTSD” © 2019 Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.

Summary of Clinical Experience with Tonmya/ TNX 102 SL in PTSD 28 Median time since trauma (TST) in TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg group in the P301/HONOR study (9.5 years) was longer than P201/AtEase study (6 years) • Both studied military-related PTSD • Time has passed since the surge in Iraq In retrospective analysis, the 9 year subgroup of P301 study had similar results as the P201 study (primary and secondary) • TST is important in placebo-controlled clinical study • Potential enrichment in 9 years TST subgroup for treatment responders The 9 year subgroup of P301 may be enriched for “Remitting Phase” of PTSD1-4 • Expect remitting phase of PTSD is more amenable to drug studies Results from retrospective analyses lead to improved Phase 3 study design 1Kessler et al.
