Wainwright”) with respect to an at-the-market offering program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, the Company’s American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), each representing one hundred and twenty ordinary shares (nominal value CHF 0.01 per share) (the “Ordinary Shares”) through H.C. Wainwright as its sales agent. On December 10, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original ATM Agreement (as amended, the “ATM Agreement”) As of the date hereof, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to increase the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the ATM Agreement, having an aggregate offering price of up to $3.3 million. The issuance and sale, if any, of the ADSs by the Company under the ATM Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form F-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-291644).

Wainwright may sell the ADSs by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including, without limitation, sales made through The Nasdaq Capital Market or on any other existing trading market for the ADSs. H.C. Wainwright will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the ADSs from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay H.C. Wainwright a commission equal to three percent (3.0%) of the gross sales proceeds of any ADSs sold through H.C. Wainwright under the ATM Agreement, and also has provided H.C. Wainwright with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

The Company is not obligated to make any sales of ADSs under the ATM Agreement. The Company or H.C. Wainwright may suspend or terminate the offering of ADSs upon notice to the other party and subject to other conditions. H.C. Wainwright will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The foregoing description of the ATM Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ATM Agreement, a copy of which is filed in part as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s report on Form 6-K filed on January 30, 2024 and in part herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Ladies and Gentlemen

We have acted as special Swiss counsel to Addex Therapeutics Ltd, a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (the Company), in connection with the preparation and filing on the date hereof with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) of a prospectus supplement (the Prospectus Supplement). The Prospectus Supplement supplements a registration statement on Form F-3, which included a base prospectus, was filed by the Company with the SEC on November 19, 2025 and declared effective by SEC on December 5, 2025 (the Registration Statement). The Registration Statement relates to the registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the offer and sale by the Company, in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADSs), of (i) registered shares of the Company with a nominal value of CHF 0.01 each held by the Company directly or through a wholly owned subsidiary as treasury shares (actionspropres) (the Treasury Shares) and (ii) registered shares of the Company with a nominal value of CHF 0.01 each to be issued out of the capital band (marge de fluctuation de capital) of the Company and to be held by the Company directly or through its wholly owned subsidiary as treasury shares (the Capital Increase Shares, together with the Treasury Shares, the OfferedShares), for a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of USD 150 million. The Prospectus Supplement relates to the sale of the Offered Shares by the Company for a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of USD 3,300,000 in accordance with a New York law-governed at-the-market offering agreement dated as of January 30, 2024 by and between H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the Manager) and the Company ((as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the at-the-market offering agreement dated as of December 10, 2025 by and between the Manager and the Company).

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Documents (as defined below).

A. Basis of Opinion

This opinion is confined to and given on the basis of the laws of Switzerland in force at the date hereof. Such laws and the interpretation thereof are subject to change.

C. Opinion
--- ---

Based on the foregoing assumptions and subject to the qualifications set out below, we express the following opinion:

2. The Capital Increase Shares, if and when (i) issued<br> and paid for pursuant to the Articles and Swiss law and (ii) registered in the Commercial<br> Register of the Canton of Geneva and entered into the Company’s book of uncertificated<br> securities (registre des droits-valeurs), will have been validly issued, fully paid<br> as to their nominal value and non-assessable.
--- ---
D. Qualifications
--- ---

The above opinions are subject to the following qualifications:

(a) The lawyers of our firm are members of the<br> Zurich bar and do not hold themselves out to be experts in any laws other than the laws of<br> Switzerland. Accordingly, we are opining herein as to Swiss law only and we express no opinion<br> with respect to the applicability or the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction to<br> or on the matters covered herein
(b) We express no opinion as to whether the Filing<br> Documents are accurate, true, correct, complete or not misleading. In particular, and without<br> limitation to the foregoing, we express no opinion on whether the Filing Documents provide<br> sufficient information for investors to reach an informed assessment of the Company, any<br> companies within the Company’s consolidation perimeter and the Offered Shares.
--- ---
(c) When used in this opinion, the term "non-assessable"<br> means that no further contributions have to be made to the Company by the relevant holder<br> of the Offered Shares.
--- ---
(d) We express no opinion as regards the exclusion<br> of shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights (droits de souscription préférentiel)<br> in connection with the offering and issuance of the Offered Shares.
--- ---
(e) We express no opinion as to the future availability<br> of the capital band of the Company.
--- ---
(f) Any Offered Shares issued or to be issued<br> by the Company will not be fully fungible and will not rank pari passu with the existing<br> and outstanding registered shares of the Company until such Offered Shares have been duly<br> entered into the Company’s book of uncertificated securities (registre des droits-valeurs)<br> and the main register (registre principal) maintained by the relevant third party<br> and all steps have been taken in order for such Offered Shares to constitute intermediated<br> securities (titres intermédiés) in accordance with the Swiss Federal<br> Act on Intermediated Securities of October 3, 2008, as amended.
--- ---
4/5

(g) As long as the Offered Shares are not duly<br> recorded in the main register and credited to one or more securities accounts, they do not<br> exist as intermediated securities. As a consequence, our opinions do not extend to legal<br> consequences attached to the Offered Shares in their form as intermediated securities.
(h) The exercise of voting rights and rights<br> related thereto with respect to any Offered Shares is only permissible after registration<br> in the Company’s share register (registre des actions) as a shareholder with<br> voting rights in accordance with the provisions of, and subject to the limitations provided<br> in, the Articles.
--- ---
(i) When used in this opinion, the term "validly<br> issued" means that the issuance of the Offered Shares is valid between the Company and<br> the party having subscribed for the Offered Shares. With regard to any third parties, the<br> issuance of the Offered Shares will only be valid on the business day in Switzerland following<br> the day of publication of the corresponding capital increase in the Swiss Official Gazette<br> of Commerce.
--- ---
(j) We express no opinion as to the conditions,<br> restrictions or consequences applicable to the acquisition of treasury shares (actions propres) by the Company, whether such acquisition is made directly or through one or<br> more controlled undertakings.
--- ---
(k) We express no opinion as to regulatory matters<br> or as to any commercial, accounting, calculating, auditing, tax or other non-legal matter.
