About ILUVIEN®

The Company’s primary product is ILUVIEN
(fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant)
0.19 mg sustained release intravitreal implant,
injected into the back of the eye.

With its CONTINUOUS MICRODOSING™ technology, ILUVIEN is designed to release sub-microgram levels of fluocinolone acetonide,

a corticosteroid, for 36 months,
to reduce the recurrence of disease,
enabling patients to maintain vision longer with fewer injections.

ILUVIEN is approved in the
U.S.,
Canada,
Kuwait,
Lebanon and
the U.A.E
to treat diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not
have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure.

In 17 European countries, ILUVIEN is indicated for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered
insufficiently responsive to available therapies.

In March 2019, ILUVIEN received approval in the 17 countries under
the Mutual Recognition Procedure for prevention of relapse in recurrent non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye.

The
17 European countries include the
U.K.,
Germany,
France,
Italy,
Spain,
Portugal,
Ireland,
Austria,
Belgium,
Denmark,
Norway,
Finland,
Sweden,
Poland,
Czech Republic,
the Netherlands, and
Luxembourg.

The regulatory process is now in the national phase in which the European member states have finalized or are expected to finalize
the label for the new indication to meet each country’s local requirements.

Timeline to this goal varies by each country,
and the non-infectious posterior uveitis indication for ILUVIEN
was launched in
Germany and
the U.K. in 3Q 2019.

ILUVIEN is not approved for treatment of uveitis in the United States.
