## About Empros Pharma

Empros Pharma AB is a biopharmaceutical company based in Sweden, founded in 2013 by researchers and entrepreneurs from Uppsala University in collaboration with Flerie Invest.

The company is dedicated to developing EMP16, an oral weight management drug aimed at addressing overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as type 2 diabetes. Empros Pharma has made significant progress with EMP16, successfully completing early-phase trials that demonstrated a strong safety profile and improved blood glucose control. The company has also conducted a Phase IIb trial with positive results regarding efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Plans are in place to initiate Phase III trials in the US by the end of 2024, with data anticipated in 2026 and a potential market launch in early 2027. EMP16 combines the lipase inhibitor orlistat with the glucosidase/amylase inhibitor acarbose, offering a unique approach to obesity treatment.
