7 Favorable Safety and Tolerability Profile for Twirla in the SECURE Trial Low rates of hormone-related adverse events, consistent with publicly available information for other low-dose combined hormonal products: Overall serious adverse events (SAEs) were observed in 1.97% of the SECURE trial study population; generally in line with those observed in other low-dose combined hormonal products* (rate in Quartette trial = 1.6%); 0.7% of subjects had SAEs that were considered potentially study drug related, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), gallbladder disease, ectopic pregnancy, and depression In the combined safety database for Agile Phase 3 trials (n >3,000), there were 5 subjects with potentially study drug related DVTs or PEs, 4 of whom were obese (BMI >30kg/m2) *Information is based on currently marketed product labels and publicly available information; adverse event (AE) terms utilized in table (except nausea) represent composites of relevant specific AE preferred terms. Different terminology may be used in product labels and reports. We have not performed a head-to-head comparison of Twirla to Ortho Evra or Quartette. **2.2% of subjects in the SECURE trial discontinued due to a bleeding-related adverse event Adverse Event* SECURE Trial Prior Agile Phase 3 Trials Ortho Evra Trials* Quartette Trial* Total in Safety Population 2031 1043 3322 3597 Headache 4.5% 3.7% 21.0% 12.2% Nausea 4.1% 4.3% 16.6% 6.7% Breast tenderness/pain/discomfort 2.0% 1.8% 22.4% 2.2% Mood swings/changes/depression 2.7% 2.8% 6.3% 2.9% Heavy/irregular vaginal bleeding** 2.6% 2.1% 6.4% 9.7%

26 The CRL Expressed a Clear Rationale for a New Study Focused on two key elements CRL Focused on 2 Key Elements: Improved study conduct Reduced loss to follow-up rate compared to previous Phase 3 trials Support subject compliance and overall retention Demonstration of acceptable efficacy in a representative population “An acceptable Pearl Index and upper bound of the 95% confidence interval” “A representative sample of women in the U.S. who are seeking hormonal contraception” “A sufficiently large and diverse population so that efficacy can be assessed in subgroups” Quotes sourced from FDA correspondence CRL = Complete Response Letter; FDA = Food & Drug Administration

29 Twirla® Had a Favorable Wearability Profile in the SECURE Trial Of reported patches worn, 82% had no patch site irritation and 65% had no itching If reported, most irritation and itching was mild Overall, severe itching or irritation were observed in approximately 2.3% and 1.5% of patches worn Of reported patches worn, the rate of detachments ranged from 10% in Cycle 1 to 2% in Cycle 13 Rates of patch-site irritation, itching, and patch detachment were low

30 The NDA Resubmission is Expected to Address the Clinical CRL Questions We believe we submitted a robust data package that more clearly defines the risk/benefit profile for Twirla: *Information is based on publicly available information. Substantially improved study conduct Lower discontinuation rate compared to previous Phase 3 trial; rate and reasons for discontinuation in line with other Phase 3 clinical trials for approved hormonal contraceptives* Lower loss to follow up rate (11.3%) compared to previous Phase 3 trial (20.3%) Greater confidence in the reliability of the results based on improved loss to follow-up rate and focus on data quality Study population reflects the broad entry criteria for the trial Allowed for efficacy to be assessed across different groups No restrictions on BMI (unlike historical contraceptive trials) Evidence of efficacy and safety Positive evidence of efficacy observed in a real-world study population Favorable safety profile; rates of adverse events consistent with publicly available information for other low-dose combined hormonal products

31 Summary of Recommendations from the 2007 FDA Advisory Committee Meeting on Contraceptive Trial Design Entry criteria should be more reflective of real-world prescribing regarding BMI, smoking, VTE family history Subgroup analyses could be performed to assess efficacy Arbitrary limits for the UB of the 95% CI should be avoided in order to promote the widest range of new contraceptive products being developed and brought to market Substantial flexibility should be exercised in accepting given point estimates and UB of CI Provide all the information to the clinician and patient in an easily understandable format in labeling and let them make the final decision on which product is most appropriate Phase 4 trials may be used to obtain better estimates of true “actual use” effectiveness Product labeling should be modified to include pregnancy rates or safety data for subgroups when available Source: 2007 FDA Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs, Summary of Recommendations http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/07/minutes/2007-4274m1.pdf
