Tranche-based financing to support clinical development for the Company's late-stage assets in hemato-oncology including Xervyteg® currently under review for potential approval by the EMA and MaaT033 currently in Phase 2b clinical evaluation Funding is part of the European Investment Bank (EIB)'s strategy to support biotech companies with cutting-edge expertise in therapeutic areas such as hemato-oncology Structured Debt financing from the EIB is another stepping stone in MaaT Pharma's multi-sourcing financing strategy LYON, France, July 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: MaaT Pharma (EURONEXT: MAAT – the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company and a leader in the development of Microbiome Ecosystem Therapies™ (MET) dedicated to enhancing survival for patients with cancer through immune modulation, today announced that it has secured a €37.5 million, 4-tranche financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB). The financing will support the advancement of its late-stage hemato-oncology clinical programs including the lead-asset Xervyteg®, recently partnered with Clinigen in Europe, and currently under regulatory review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) and the second drug candidate, MaaT033, currently being evaluated in a Phase 2b randomized controlled trial in improving survival for patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplants. With robust cGMP manufacturing, proprietary therapies, and a development platform, MaaT Pharma is a global leader in microbiome-based oncology, pioneering full-ecosystem therapies to improve survival in oncology. Since completing enrollment in the ARES trial for Xervyteg® (MaaT013) in October 2024, MaaT Pharma has steadily advanced its roadmap, reporting topline results in January 2025, submitting the Marketing Authorization Application with the European Medicines Agency in June 2025, and signing an exclusive agreement for marketing and distribution in Europe with Clinigen in July 2025. The €37.5 million financing from the EIB follows a rigorous due diligence process by the EIB and further confirms MaaT Pharma's innovation, strategic vision and operational maturity. This funding is part of a global financial strategy to support the Company's development that combines various non-dilutive and dilutive sources to best preserve shareholder value. Eric Soyer, Chief Financial Officer, MaaT Pharma, said: "We are grateful for the confidence shown in MaaT Pharma and the support from the EIB, which is a further foundation towards the next phase of MaaT Pharma's growth on bringing the potential first microbiome-based therapy to market in Europe. Each operational and financing step strengthens our track record. Following the regulatory submission to the EMA for Xervyteg®(MaaT013) and our recent partnership with Clinigen for its commercialization, the EIB financing represents another step in reinforcing the Company's financial position. As previously announced, MaaT Pharma intends to fund its plans and development programs while preserving shareholder value in the best manner possible with a mix of non-dilutive and dilutive financial sources, and the recent announcements of both partnership financing with the Clinigen agreement and debt financing with the EIB agreement, are benchmarks to reflect that strategy."

Brewer Heineken's first-half profits beat forecasts
LONDON (Reuters) -Dutch brewer Heineken on Monday reported a 7.4% rise in half-year organic operating profit, ahead of analyst expectations, even as its sales in Europe dragged and tariff risks increased. The world's No.2 brewer has been locked in difficult, prolonged price negotiations in Europe, which hurt sales, offsetting a boost from a late Easter and good weather. The company said its second-quarter revenues and volumes rose 2.1% and fell 1.2% respectively on an organic basis, versus analyst forecasts of a 1.2% rise and 0.3% decline. Analysts had expected a 7% increase in organic operating profit over the first-half. Heineken credited growth in regions like Africa and Asia, which have previously dragged on results, and savings that offset cost inflation and negative currency movements for the profit beat. "Our advantaged geographical footprint helped us to adapt to ongoing macro-economic challenges which impacted consumer sentiment and expenditures," CEO Dolf van den Brink said in a statement. The company left its full-year guidance unchanged at 4% to 8% annual profit growth, adding that the impact of U.S. tariffs had grown. U.S. President Donald Trump and the European Union on Sunday struck a deal that would see the U.S. impose a 15% tariff rate on most EU goods. Sign in to access your portfolio
