CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS
2020 MESOBLAST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
This has been an unprecedented year due to the coronavirus pandemic, its impact on human health, and the associated collateral economic damage worldwide. The Mesoblast team has responded with great agility and resilience to this urgent medical challenge, creatively applying our technology platform to develop a potential treatment for ventilated patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19. Through a deep understanding of the mechanism of action and by utilizing clinical and regulatory experience, our team was able to apply these learnings to tackle the primary cause of death due to COVID-19.
The rapid pivot of remestemcel-L from steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease to ARDS has led to an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Novartis, a leading global medicines company. This exciting collaboration will leverage the demonstrated ability of Novartis to rapidly move from clinical to commercial scale with cell-based therapies. It will also play a role in the successful development and potential commercialization of remestemcel-L, as will the nearly two decades of experience Novartis has in delivering first-in-class products that address areas of unmet respiratory need.
Even as COVID-19 vaccines become available, patients who have co-morbidities or are older are likely to continue to be at high risk of ARDS and subsequently death. This is why having a potential treatment that reduces mortality in these patients is so important. The loss of life due to the COVID-19 pandemic is the driving force behind our shared commitment to make available our transformational cellular therapy to these highest risk patients. We look forward to working with Novartis as they develop remestemcel-L for all-cause ARDS, as well as potentially other respiratory conditions.
In parallel, we will continue to rigorously pursue an approval pathway for remestemcel-L in the treatment of children with steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease, another life-threatening inflammatory condition with no approved therapies for those under 12 years of age. We are seeking accelerated approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a post-approval requirement to conduct an additional randomized controlled study in patients 12 years and older.
Beyond remestemcel-L, we have a maturing and diverse portfolio of cellular medicines for other serious acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. Upcoming readouts of Phase 3 trials in advanced chronic heart failure and chronic low back pain due to degenerative disc disease will potentially increase our near and mid-term value proposition.
On behalf of your Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude for your ongoing support and confidence in our technology.
Mesoblast Limited (ASX:MSB; Nasdaq:MESO) is a world leader in developing allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cellular medicines. The Company has leveraged its proprietary mesenchymal lineage cell therapy technology platform to establish a broad portfolio of commercial products and late-stage product candidates. Mesoblast has a strong and extensive global intellectual property (IP) portfolio with protection extending through to at least 2040 in all major markets. The Company’s proprietary manufacturing processes yield industrial-scale, cryopreserved, off-the-shelf, cellular medicines. These cell therapies, with defined pharmaceutical release criteria, are planned to be readily available to patients worldwide.
Remestemcel-L is being developed for inflammatory diseases in children and adults including steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease and moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Mesoblast is completing Phase 3 trials for its product candidates for advanced heart failure and chronic low back pain. Two products have been commercialized in Japan and Europe by
Mesoblast’s licensees, and the Company has established commercial partnerships in Europe and China for certain Phase 3
Mesoblast has locations in Australia, the United States and Singapore and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (MSB) and on the Nasdaq (MESO). For more information, please see www.mesoblast.com, LinkedIn: Mesoblast Limited and Twitter: @Mesoblast

On August 13 2020, results from 309 children with SR-aGVHD treated with remestemcel-L were presented to the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) The ODAC panel voted 9:1 that the available data support the efficacy of remestemcel-L in pediatric patients with SR-aGVHD* Despite the overwhelming ODAC vote, on September 30, the FDA provided Mesoblast with a Complete Response Letter On November 17, a Type A meeting was held with the FDA to discuss the review of the Biologics License Application for remestemcel-L and a potential pathway for accelerated approval with a post-approval requirement to conduct an additional randomized controlled study in patients 12 years and older The definitive outcome of the Type A meeting will not be known until Mesoblast receives the formal minutes which are expected within 30 days of the meeting, however it appears that the current FDA review team will not agree to accelerated approval If accelerated approval is not agreed to by the current review team, Mesoblast will request a further Type A meeting to initiate the well-established FDA dispute resolution pathway | SR-aGVHD Regulatory & Commercial Update * This vote includes a change to the original vote by one of the ODAC panel members after electronic voting closed

Update on Other Phase 3 Product Candidates Heart Failure Chronic Low Back Pain
REVASCOR® for Advanced and End-Stage Heart Failure In December 2019, the Phase 3 trial in advanced heart failure surpassed the number of primary endpoint events required for trial completion Final study visits for all surviving patients have been completed Ongoing quality review of all data is being completed at the study sites Data readout expected during Q4 CY2020 Results may support regulatory approval in the US Results from a sub-study of 70 patients with end-stage ischemic heart failure and a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), of 159 randomized patients who received either REVASCOR or saline, were presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Virtual Scientific Sessions Conclusions from the study included MPCs had a beneficial effect on LVAD weaning, major mucosal bleeding, serious adverse events, and readmissions in ischemic heart failure patients End-stage ischemic heart failure patients with LVADs are older and have co-morbidities such as diabetes, thereby closely resembling the majority of patients in Mesoblast’s 566-patient Phase 3 trial of REVASCOR for advanced chronic heart failure |
MPC-06-ID for Chronic Low Back Pain Phase 3 trial of MPC-06-ID for chronic low back pain in 404 patients: Final study visits for all patients have been completed Ongoing quality review of all data is being completed at the study sites Data readout expected during Q4 CY2020 Continued operational progress in strategic partnership for chronic lower back pain with Grünenthal in Europe to complete clinical protocol design, obtain regulatory input, and receive clearance from European regulatory authorities to begin European Phase 3 trial Results from the Phase 3 trials will be considered pivotal to support regulatory approval in the US, as well as in Europe |
