Recent Business Highlights

• Initiated enrollment into the pivotal Phase 3 study of vibegron in men with OAB and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), for which there is currently no approved treatment

• Entered into a debt financing agreement with Hercules Capital for up to $100 million

"Urovant Sciences achieved key milestones for several clinical programs for vibegron, an investigational beta-3 adrenergic agonist, driving us closer toward the goal of developing a leading specialty urology company," said Keith A. Katkin, chief executive officer of Urovant. "We were pleased to announce positive topline data from EMPOWUR, our robust Phase 3 trial of vibegron as a treatment for adults with symptoms of overactive bladder, which demonstrated significant clinical efficacy on both co-primary endpoints, as well as all seven key secondary endpoints."

Mr. Katkin continued, "We achieved another important clinical milestone with enrollment into the pivotal Phase 3 study of vibegron in men with OAB and BPH, an important supplemental program for vibegron as there is currently no approved treatment for concomitant OAB and BPH.
