CEO and Chairman letter  
CEO and Chairman letter.  
The transaction between Pharma Equity Group A/S and Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S became final when they  
had their first trading day on the main stock exchange in Copenhagen on 28 March 2023 through the issuance  
of new shares in Pharma Equity Group A/S. Reponex became, indirectly, the first new Danish biotech company  
in several years on the Copenhagen stock exchange.  
Business model  
Reponex's repositioning strategy and model makes it possible to meet the treatment needs of patients faster  
than conventional drug development, while at the same time significantly reducing the total development costs  
and risks associated with drug development. With the transaction, Pharma Equity Group now have the  
opportunity to attract the investors needed to realize the great potential of the business model and to get the  
individual drug candidates all the way to the patients, where they can help make a difference.  
Reponex has six promising drug candidates under clinical development and testing in four areas, each  
characterized by a high therapeutic need, where Reponex is currently expected to offer better and/or cheaper  
treatments:  
- Colorectal cancer prevention and metastasis prevention  
- Prevention and Treatment of Bacterial Peritonitis (Peritonitis)  
- Alleviating the symptoms of the inflammatory disorders Crohn's disease and Pouchitis  
- Treatment of chronic wounds and infected chronic wounds  
Reponex leads the drug candidates up to and including clinical phase 2, where a data basis has been obtained  
that confirms the clinical relevance of the medicine. After this, the strategy is to enter into licensing agreements  
with major pharmaceutical companies, which can take the drugs further in the process towards final regulatory  
approval for marketing and distribution.  
Clinical results in 2023  
In company announcement number 34 of 8 June 2023, the company provided preliminary data from the first  
part of a clinical trial of Pouchitis. The study investigates whether GM-CSF in combination with Metronidazole  
and Fosfomycin can be safely used in patients with Pouchitis. In the first part of the study, a single treatment  
was given topically under endoscopic monitoring to 6 patients. In the second part of the study, involving 12  
patients, a daily dose for 7 days will be administered using an enema. In the first part of the clinical trial, a single  
application of the novel GM-CSF/antibiotic therapy developed by Reponex showed a significant improvement in  
symptoms and objective changes in this unpleasant and all too common inflammatory consequence of total  
colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. The second part of the clinical trial looks at the results with repeated  
doses via enema - which may show long-term control of a condition that has been notoriously difficult to treat.  
And not only that: the pathology behind Pouchitis is closely related to that of Crohn's disease, and the new  
treatment may also prove effective as a topical treatment for Crohn's lesions in the gut. Data is expected in  
2024.  
In company announcement number 45 of November 16, 2023, the Company announced that it is achieving the  
primary endpoints in the Company's Phase 2 clinical trial of the drug candidate RNX-051.  
Reponex's MEFO study addresses the treatment of patients with right-sided colon cancer and right-sided polyps  
(precancerous precursors) with the company's drug candidate RNX-051.  
The study's primary endpoints, which relate to a quantitative change in biofilm, were achieved in the group of  
patients with precursors to colorectal cancer. 'Topline' results showed that the treatment with RNX-051  
removes biofilm from the healthy intestinal mucosa. In patients with colorectal cancer, it also removes biofilm  
from the edge zone of the cancer tumour in those patients who have a particularly high amount of biofilm  
before treatment.

CEO and Chairman letter  
In patients with RNX-051-treated precancerous precursors, compared to untreated precursors, a higher  
incidence of special immune cells that are essential for the immune system's ability to prevent the  
development of cancer from precursors was found. Similarly, in patients with colon cancer, a more favourable  
combination of immune cells in the tumour was found after treatment with RNX-051. Within 2 weeks of  
treatment with RNX-051, it was shown that a single treatment led to an increase in the cell types known to be  
crucial for the immune system's killing of cancer cells.  
With these results, the study has shown a mechanism that gives reason to assume that the treatment can be  
incorporated into future treatments that can prevent the development of cancer from precursors and try  
combination treatments with other treatments such as immunotherapy or similar cancer therapies. The full  
results of the study are expected to be fully analysed in early 2024.  
Patent approvals in 2023  
In Company Announcement Number 41 of October 31, 2023, the Company announced that the United States  
Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) had approved U.S. Patent Application No. 16/366,898. The patent deals  
with a method of treating chronic wounds by applying a hydrogel containing granulocyte macrophage colony  
stimulating factor (GM-CSF), sucralfate and hyaluronan to accelerate wound healing.  
Reponex's treatment combines three active substances that accelerate the healing of chronic wounds such as  
venous and diabetic leg ulcers. According to Grand View Research, the global wound care market was valued at  
USD 21.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.15% from 2023  
to 2030. Of this, the US market accounts for approximately USD 8 billion in 2022. The chronic wounds segment  
had the largest share at around 60% in 2022. The patent is valid until 2039.  
In Company Announcement number 42 of October 31, 2023, the Company announced that the European  
Patent Office (EPO) had issued an "Intention To Grant" for EU patent applications No. 15724673.7 and No.  
19701467.3.  
The former application, which deals with the wound healing candidate RNX-022, describes a procedure for  
treating chronic wounds by applying a hydrogel containing granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor  
(GM-CSF), sucralfate and hyaluronan to accelerate wound healing.  
The latter application deals with the colorectal cancer candidate RNX-051, and describes a method for fighting  
bacterial layers (biofilm) that protect the cancerous tumor or adenomas (potential cancerous tumor) from  
fighting the body's own immune system in the colon or rectum.  
An "Intention To Grant" indicates that the EPO intends to issue the applications as patents after some standard  
procedural steps have been completed and the patent is expected to be issued within 2 months with validity  
until 2035 and 2039 respectively.  
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer  
(IARC), the global colorectal cancer market was valued at USD 9.4 billion in 2020. Every year, about 57 million  
new cases of adenomas are reported, and about 1.5 million new cases of colorectal cancer are reported in  
Western countries.  
New board members  
At the extraordinary general meeting on 2 November 2023, Omar S. Qandeel and Martin Engell-Rossen were  
elected to the Board of Directors. Omar S. Qandeel is an international businessman who focuses primarily on  
social impact investments and project development together with Asian, European and Middle Eastern  
companies and governments. Omar S. Qandeel has a very extensive international network, both clinically and in  
relation to potential strong strategic alliances and new investors.  
Omar S. Qandeel will focus his efforts on the Board of Directors on securing financing from investors and  
supporting the Company's commercial expansion into new markets, including the Middle East and Asia.

Organization  
On June 1, 2023, Christopher Burton, MD, PhD, joined Reponex as the Company's new clinical director.  
Portinho receivable  
In the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2023, the Company has a receivable from Portinho  
S.A., recognised at a value of DKK 58 million.  
The valuation in the consolidated financial statements as well as in the parent company's financial statements  
are based on the receivable amounting to EUR 9.55 million plus interest. The principal with the addition of  
added interest equal DKK 79 million at 31 December 2023. The difference between the new book value and  
the principal including added interest reflects that it may take longer time than originally anticipated before  
the receivable will be finally paid.  
The Company's Board of Directors, elected in connection with the Company's transformation into a  
pharmaceutical company, and the Executive Board have for a long time had a very close dialogue with the  
management of Portinho S.A. regarding the redemption of the Company's receivables from Portinho S.A.,  
which originate from the time before the Company was transformed into a pharmaceutical company.  
The dialogue and additional investigations are still ongoing with, among other things, assistance from both  
Danish and Portuguese legal advisors.  
The scope and assessment of the preliminary results of the investigation work has led to the fact that it is not  
possible to comment specifically on when the receivable will be repaid to the Company, but it is still  
considered realistic that payment will be received in time either by Portinho S.A selling the underlying assets  
or through necessary legal actions.  
Financing  
As previously announced, the Company has entered into agreements with its financial creditors, which among  
other things take into account a postponement of payment of the Company's receivables from Portinho S.A.  
The Company complies with these agreements. As a result of the postponement of the payment by Portinho  
S.A., the Company has continued to raise loans that will continuously support the Company's working capital.  
The raising of capital is successive and progressing satisfactorily.  
In Company Announcement No. 03 from 25 January 2024, the Company announced completion of  
subscription of convertible loans at a total amount of DKK 8.914.795. In Company Announcement No. 03 from  
7 February 2024, the Company announced completion of additional subscription of convertible loans at a total  
amount of DKK 7.100.000. The total proceeds from issuance of convertible loans thus amounts to DKK 16  
million.  
On this basis, Management concludes that sufficient cash and credit facilities are available at all times to  
service the Group’s obligations as they fall due throughout 2024. Reference is made to note 22 in the  
consolidated financial statments.

CEO and Chairman letter  
To further inprove the Group´s capital resources the Company expects to establish additional convertible  
loans continuously over the year 2024, in accordance with the overall authorization in the articles of  
association. The Company currently has specific dialogue with several existing/new investors about further  
funding in the short-term. In addition, Management is working strategically on a more comprehensive  
increase in the capital and the share capital structure going-forward.  
Communication  
Pharma Equity Group and Reponex intensified marketing and communication in several areas in 2023,  
including social media. A completely new communication and marketing strategy has been developed, which  
among other things has resulted in the development of new films about Reponex Corporate Identity, about  
the repositioning strategy and about the drug candidates being worked on. In collaboration with Colitis and  
the Crohn's Association, films have also been prepared in which patients with Crohn's talk about the disease.  
In mid-November 2023, Pharma Equity Group and Reponex participated in the "IPO of the Year" in London, in  
the company of some of Europe's largest companies. 2023 was also the start of a series of presentations  
around the country by Pharma Equity Group and by Reponex.  
In 2023, Pharma Equity Group A/S achieved a loss after tax of DKK 24.6 million. The loss without the allowance  
for the Portinho S.A. receivable equals DKK 20.2 million, which is in line with expectations. As at 31 December  
2023, the Group's equity equals DKK 38.9 million.  
We would like to thank our dedicated colleagues, the external partners, the patients who take part in our  
clinical trials and our shareholders for their continued support of Pharma Equity Group.

The Group's principal activities and 2023 Achievements  
The Group´s principal activities  
PEG is a company listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen main stock exchange.  
On 24 March 2023, PEG completed the acquisition of the entire share capital in Reponex in exchange for  
shares in PEG. The shares issued to the shareholders of Reponex had its first trading day on Nasdaq  
Copenhagen on 28 March 2023. As a result of the transaction, a legal group has been established in 2023 with  
PEG as the legal parent, and Reponex as a 100% owned subsidiary, and hence PEG is required to publish  
consolidated financial statements from 2023.  
Since the now former shareholders of Reponex have become the majority shareholders of PEG, the transaction  
has been accounted for as a reverse take-over when preparing the consolidation reporting for the Group,  
where Reponex has been identified as the accounting acquirer. Hence, the consolidated interim report reflects  
the assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of Reponex for the entire 2023, including reported  
comparative figures for Reponex, whereas the assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of PEG are reflected  
in the consolidated interim report from 24 March 2023 where the transaction was completed.  
In the past, the published
annual reports and interim reports for PEG reflected PEG’s operations on a stand-  
alone basis, but as a result of Reponex being identified as the accounting acquirer, the past financial results of  
PEG will not be reflected in the consolidated interim figures for periods before 24 march 2023.  
Description of Reponex’ operations  
Reponex is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of new, effective  
treatments for diseases that have significant patient and social impact for which current therapy is lacking or in  
need of improvement. The diseases are acute or life threatening, such as bacterial peritonitis and colorectal  
cancer, or may be chronic diseases that reduce lifespan and the quality of life and may shorten it, including  
inflammatory bowel diseases or complications of chronic diseases such as the disabling non-healing skin ulcers  
in patients with diabetes or venous insufficiency. There is a continuing unmet medical need to improve the  
treatment of these difficult conditions, which is what Reponex strives to achieve.  
It is Reponex’s ambition to create value through the company’s sustaining platform by bringing the clinical  
programs to a clinical stage with relevant clinical data documenting the effect of the drug candidates, that will  
be a strong starting point for the completion of an exclusive licensing of the company’s drug candidates to  
global pharmaceutical companies, that can contribute to execution of the further clinical and regulatory  
process as well as having relevant distribution power.  
Reponex is an organizational efficient company with an aggressive commercial outsourcing strategy to be as  
agile as possible, to meet complex and continual changes in the pharma industry. The strategy creates a cost  
efficient and flexible way to create relevant human resources fast, which is considered a key factor and driver  
of success.  
It is Reponex's clinical strategy to establish collaborations with internationally leading institutions and hospitals  
in combination with the best experts in each of the company’s specific clinical areas.

Financial review  
Estimates and judgements  
The preparation of the consolidated and parent company financial statements require the making of estimates and  
judgements that effects the reporting of assets, liabilities and expenses. The estimates and judgements are reviewed on  
an ongoing basis. Estimates and judgements are based on historical results and on various other assumptions, which the  
Group believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, the actual result may differ significantly from the  
estimates.  
Management has especially considered the accounting for the Reponex transaction and concluded that Reponex is the  
accounting acquirer and thereby the transaction is accounted for as a reverse take-over.  
See note 2.1 and 2.2 for further description.  
Financial performance 2023 vs. outlook for 2023  
The loss excluding allowance for the Portinho receivable and before tax for the year TDKK -22,439, is in line with  
Management's expectations for 2023 on a loss between DKK -18 - 22m.

Financial review  
Comments to consolidated financial statements for 2023  
PEG Group comprehensive income for 2023 consists of Reponex for whole 2023 and PEG for the period 24  
March 2023 - 31 December 2023.  
In 2023, the Group has continued Reponex´s work on preparing the portfolio of clinical programs being ready  
for commercialization in the coming years.  
Revenue TDKK 0.  
The Group have not had any revenue for the year and does not expect that until 2025.  
Operation profit/loss (EBIT) TDKK -20,891 (2022 TDKK -11,277)  
EBIT consists of research and development costs of DKK 9.1m and administrative costs of 11.9m (2022 DKK  
5.5m and 5.8m).  
The increase in development costs is due to strengthen the organization and development activity by  
employing a CCO and CMO and others. Also. the partnerships with hospitals and other external partners have  
been strengthened.  
The increase in administrative costs is primarily due to the transaction between PEG and Reponex as costs for  
both the companies is included from March 24 2023. Furthermore resources have been spent on strengthen  
the management, administration and investor relations communications.  
Allowance Portinho receivable TDKK -4,403 (2022 TDKK 0)  
The value of the receivable has been ajusted down to DKK 58m at 31 December 2023 and hence the  
consolidated income statement reflect a an allowance of DKK 4.4m. Management is still of the opinion that the  
receivable in time will be recovered, but it may take longer time than anticipated when entering into the  
agreement which matured on 1 July 2023, which is reflected in the value assessment of the receivable at 31  
December 2023.  
Financial expenses TDKK 1,562 (2022 TDKK 22)  
Financial expenses consist primarily of interest on subordinated convertible debt, bank debt, financials loans,  
and loans from related parties. Interests on subordinated convertible debt and on financials loans are accrued  
and will not be paid until the principals mature. If convertible debt will be converted, the conversion will also  
include the accrued interest.  
Tax on profit / loss an income of TDKK 2,233 (2022 TDKK 1,855)  
Tax income for the year consist of the expected tax refund according to the tax legislation for Reponex  
qualifying research and development expenses.  
Equity TDKK 38,931 (2022 TDKK 18,911)  
Equity at year-end amounts to DKK 38.9 million. The size of equity reflects that the PEG/Reponex transaction  
has been accounted for at as a reverse take-over whereby consolidated equity is in reality based on the equity  
Reponex.  
Parent company financial statements  
For the parent company the loss for year is DKK 17.9 million primarily as a result of recognising an allowance  
relating to the Portinho receivable of DKK 12.8 million. Parent company equity amounts to DKK 712.6 million  
based on the investment in Reponex being valued at cost at DKK 689 million and the Portinho receivable being  
valued at DKK 58 million.  
The purchase price for Reponex was legally agreed at DKK 1.5 billion. For accounting purposes, the cost price  
for the investment has been based on the market value of the shares issued to the Reponex shareholders on  
the first day of trading on 28 March 2023. Management of Pharma Equity Group A/S is still of the opinion that  
the transaction price of DKK 1.5 billion is a fair estimation of the value of Reponex, which has been supported  
by updated interntal value calculations, but also supported by external valuations. Hence, even though the  
market capitalisation of Pharma Equity Group at 31 December 2023 of DKK 440 million indirectly implies that  
the value of Reponex has declined since the transaction date, Management has concluded that the value of the  
investment is not impaired compared to the calculated cost price of DKK 689 million.

Events occurring after the balance sheet date  
New subordinated convertible loans for totally DKK 8 million have been issued in January/February 2024.

Product and development programs  
Repositioning known drugs into new intervention is the heart of what we do  
By repositioning Reponex finds new uses for active substances that are being used in other treatments. This  
means that the substances are used for other treatments than it was originally designated and registered for.  
The advantage of this is that the active substance’s basic toxicity and adverse effect profile is already known  
and described.

Product and development programs  
Reponex R&D platform  
At Reponex, we are focused on repositioning generic drugs for new clinical indications.  
Our repositioning strategy is to secure patent protection for drugs that have previously been used systemically,  
in a new formulation optimized for local application. In this way, Reponex expects to substantially reduce the  
development risk and time to market entry, as the safety profiles of the drugs are already known and local  
application is anticipated to further reduce the risk of unwanted side effects. Patent protections encompassing  
the new formulation and clinical use of these agents, together with data exclusivity are expected to afford  
Reponex with the same protections and market opportunities as seen with new drugs.  
Reponex plans to develop formulations and demonstrate proof of clinical concept through the completion of  
Phase 2 clinical studies designed in collaboration with the regulatory authorities (EMA and FDA), and clinical  
medical and scientific experts.  
Reponex’ Research Focus  
Biofilms are complex communities of bacteria, which adhere to surfaces and are encased in a slimy matrix of  
extracellular polymeric substances.  
Biofilms may interact with the host immune system, leading to chronic immune activation and the release of  
pro-inflammatory cytokines.  
In the intestine, changes in the composition of the gut microbiota, including an overgrowth of certain bacteria,  
have been associated with the development of biofilms.  
Not only does the organisation of bacteria in biofilms make them difficult to eradicate with traditional  
antiseptic or antibiotic treatment, but biofilms may also promote cancer growth and progression.  
Chronic inflammation creates a microenvironment conducive to ongoing cellular damage and genetic  
mutations, promoting the transition from normal tissue to precancerous lesions and, eventually, to cancer.  
Various metabolites produced by biofilm-associated bacteria, including short-chain fatty acids and toxins, may  
also contribute to the progression of colorectal neoplasia.  
Reponex is building a pipeline of products to address biofilm related disease both in terms of resolving difficult  
to treat infections (e.g., bacterial peritonitis, and chronic skin ulcers), and disease modification through the  
removal of biofilms in patients with pre-cancerous and cancerous colorectal disease.  
Molgramostim (GM-CSF)  
Granulocyte-Monocyte Colony Stimulating Factor, commonly referred to as GM-CSF, is a vital cytokine that  
plays a crucial role in the regulation and stimulation of the production, differentiation, and function of white  
blood cells, specifically granulocytes and monocytes. GM-CSF is essential for maintaining the delicate balance  
of the immune system, ensuring an adequate supply of immune cells to combat infections, and promoting the  
formation of blood cells.  
Endogenous GM-CSF is produced by various cells, including macrophages, T cells, and endothelial cells, and acts  
as a potent signalling molecule to stimulate the bone marrow to produce and release white blood cells into the  
bloodstream. GM-CSF is known for its multifaceted functions, including enhancing the survival, proliferation,  
and maturation of granulocytes and monocytes, as well as influencing the activation and functionality of  
mature immune cells.  
Recombinant human GM-CSF, such as molgramostim, was developed in the 1980s as a systemic treatment to  
boost the immune system after bone marrow transplantation. At Reponex, we are repurposing the molecule  
for local treatment of severe or difficult to treat infections and wound healing.

Product and development programs  
Metronidazole & Fosfomycin  
Metronidazole was first introduced in the 1960s but remains a fulcrum of many antibiotic treatment regimens  
due to its selective activity against microorganisms thriving in low-oxygen environments (anaerobes), which are  
often found in chronic wounds and the intestinal tract. Metronidazole disrupts bacterial DNA synthesis resulting  
in bacterial cell death.  
Fosfomycin was also discovered in the 1960s and is a potent antibiotic with efficacy against a diverse array of  
both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, by irreversibly blocking a critical component of bacterial cell  
wall synthesis resulting in bacterial cell death. Fosfomycin has proven particularly effective against multidrug-  
resistant strains, making it a crucial therapeutic option in an era marked by escalating antibiotic resistance. As  
the medical community confronts challenges posed by antibiotic resistance, fosfomycin's role becomes  
increasingly significant.  
Both antibiotics are invariably administered systemically (for example, by oral or intravenous administration).  
At Reponex, we are working on new formulations of these agents so that they may be administered locally, at  
high doses directly to the site of infection. In this way, we aim to maximize bacterial killing while minimising  
exposure of the rest of the body to antibiotics, which can lead to unwanted side effects, inappropriate killing of  
harmless commensal bacteria, and an increased risk of antimicrobial resistance.  
Drug Formulation  
Reponex has developed proprietary formulations of GM-CSF alone or in combination with antimicrobial agents  
to optimise delivery of these drugs to target tissues, while minimising systemic exposure and the risk of  
unwanted systemic side effects.  
These include gel formulations that are either pre-mixed or form during administration (in-situ), for example,  
when sprayed together. The in-situ gel formulations are a promising platform for the development of products  
intended to be administered via an endoscope. The individual components of the formulation can be  
administered with ease due to low viscosity, which when sprayed together form an adhesive gel that fixes to  
the target tissue (e.g. a polyp or specific area or inflammation).  
Continued development of these formulations will be integral to optimising drug performance and securing  
long-term market protection.  
Bacterial peritonitis  
Secondary bacterial peritonitis is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by  
inflammation and infection of the peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdominal cavity. Secondary bacterial  
peritonitis results from the contamination of the peritoneal cavity due to perforation or rupture of abdominal  
organs. Common triggers for secondary bacterial peritonitis include perforated appendicitis, diverticulitis,  
gastrointestinal perforations, traumatic injuries, or postsurgical complications. The breach in the integrity of the  
abdominal organs allows the escape of intestinal contents containing bacteria into the peritoneal space, leading  
to rapid and widespread infection.  
Secondary bacterial peritonitis most often presents as an emergency, accounting for approximately 1% of all  
acute admissions to hospital. Patients experience severe abdominal pain, tenderness, and systemic signs of  
infection such as fever and elevated white blood cell count. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial to  
prevent the progression of infection, which can lead to sepsis and multiple organ failure.  
The present management of secondary bacterial peritonitis involves a multifaceted approach, including surgical  
intervention to address the underlying source of contamination, drainage of infected fluid, and a minimum of 3  
to 5 days of intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics followed by a course of oral antibiotics.  
14  
 
Product and development programs  
RNX-011 is a formulation of GM-CSF in combination with broad spectrum antibiotics, metronidazole and  
fosfomycin, intended to be given directly to the intraperitoneal cavity during surgery. In an exploratory study  
funded by Reponex, patients receiving the intraperitoneal combination of GM-CSF and antibiotics, were  
discharged from hospital earlier (after 2-21 hours vs. 67-169 hours) and without infectious complications (0  
versus 2), compared with standard of care treatment with intravenous antibiotics.  
Reponex is currently planning to conduct a larger Phase 2 study in a broader patient population and is actively  
seeking partnerships to streamline future Phase 3 development.  
Pouchitis  
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) encompasses a group of chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the  
gastrointestinal tract, leading to persistent and often debilitating symptoms. The two primary forms of IBD are  
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, both characterized by periods of active inflammation interspersed with  
periods of remission. IBD is a complex and multifactorial disorder, involving a combination of genetic,  
environmental, and immunological factors. IBD affects up to 7 million people globally, and the incidence is  
increasing.  
Pouchitis is a complication that can arise in patients who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), a  
surgical procedure performed to treat ulcerative colitis. IPAA involves the removal of the colon and rectum,  
and the creation of an internal pouch from the end of the small intestine (ileum) to serve as a reservoir for  
stool. This surgery is considered a standard treatment for ulcerative colitis when medical therapy fails or  
becomes inadequate.  
Pouchitis refers to inflammation of the ileal pouch, and it represents one of the most common long-term  
complications following IPAA. The condition is characterized by symptoms similar to ulcerative colitis, such as  
increased frequency of bowel movements, urgency, abdominal cramping, and in some cases, bloody stools.  
Managing pouchitis is crucial to optimizing the quality of life for individuals who have undergone IPAA for  
ulcerative colitis. Treatment strategies for pouchitis often include antibiotics, which can help alleviate  
symptoms by targeting the underlying bacterial overgrowth or imbalance within the pouch; however, a  
significant proportion of patients have recurrent or chronic pouchitis. In some instances, pouchitis can lead to  
pouch failure, and reversion to a permanent ileostomy.  
RNX-041 is a formulation of GM-CSF in combination with broad spectrum antibiotics, metronidazole and  
fostomycin, intended to be administered by enema directly into the pouch, with the aim of restoring the  
balance between immune cell function and bacterial growth, and stimulating repair of the endothelium.  
Reponex is currently funding an exploratory study of GM-CSF, metronidazole and fosfomycin, and is actively  
pursuing an Orphan Drug Designation for the continued development of RNX-041. Reponex is actively seeking  
partnerships to continue the clinical development of RNX-041.  
Colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer  
Colorectal cancer, a significant global health concern, arises in the colon or rectum and is characterized by the  
uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells within the lining of the large intestine. Colorectal cancer is the third  
most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, highlighting its impact  
on public health. The number of people diagnosed with colorectal cancer is expected to increase by 60% over  
the next 15 years.  
The development of colorectal cancer is often a gradual process, typically starting as small, benign growths  
called polyps on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. While not all polyps transform into cancer, some may  
progress over time, acquiring genetic mutations that lead to malignant transformation. Early detection and  
removal of colorectal adenomas are essential components of colorectal cancer prevention strategies. Regular  
screening, such as colonoscopies, plays a crucial role in the detection and removal of adenomas, thus  
preventing the development of colorectal cancer. During a colonoscopy, adenomas can be identified and  
removed through a procedure called polypectomy.  
15  
 
Product and development programs  
The role of biofilms in colorectal cancer development is an area of emerging research, and while the  
relationship is not yet fully elucidated, there is evidence suggesting that biofilms may play a role in promoting  
chronic inflammation and influencing the progression of colorectal neoplasia. One example is a species of  
bacteria called Fusobacterium nucleatum, which is often enriched in colorectal tumours, and its presence has  
been associated with an increased risk of cancer and worse clinical outcomes.  
RNX-051 is a formulation of metronidazole and fosfomycin, that forms an in-situ gel when sprayed directly to  
the intestinal wall (e.g., during colonoscopy). Reponex has funded an exploratory study of these agents in  
patients with adenomas or colorectal cancer. Results of these studies are expected soon and will guide further  
clinical development.  
Reponex sees a potential of RNX-051 in endoscopic surveillance in the management of hereditary  
adenomatous diseases, such as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP),  
and Lynch syndrome. These genetic conditions predispose individuals to the development of colorectal  
adenomas, significantly elevating their risk of colorectal cancer, and potentially qualify for Orphan Drug  
Designation.  
Chronic skin ulcers  
Chronic skin ulcers present a challenging and persistent medical condition that often involves impaired wound  
healing and an extended inflammatory response. It is estimated that 1-2% of the population will develop  
chronic skin ulcers during their lifetime, and between 25-50% of hospitalised patients have chronic skin ulcers.  
The development and perpetuation of chronic skin ulcers are influenced by a variety of factors, including  
vascular insufficiency, diabetes, and immune dysfunction. Recent research has shed light on the significant  
role that biofilms may play in exacerbating the complexity of chronic skin ulcers.  
In the context of chronic skin ulcers, biofilms can form on the wound bed, comprising bacteria, fungi, and  
other microorganisms. These biofilms create a resilient and structured environment that facilitates bacterial  
colonization and persistence. Biofilms contribute to the chronicity of ulcers by promoting microbial resistance  
to antibiotics, hindering immune responses, and fostering an environment that sustains inflammation.  
Effective treatment of chronic skin ulcers with topical antiseptics and topical or systemic antimicrobial agents  
is challenging owing to the number of bacterial species within a single wound, and the organisation of these  
colonies within the biofilm. Protracted or ineffective antibiotic treatment increases the risk of antimicrobial  
drug resistance.  
RNX-021, RNX-022, and RNX-023 are formulations of GM-CSF alone or in combination with different  
antimicrobial agents aimed at restoring immunological balance within the wound micro-environment through  
the removal of bacteria and dead tissue and stimulating the formation of new epithelium resulting in wound  
healing.

Corporate Governance  
1. Corporate Governance  
Pharma Equity Group remains focused on good corporate governance, having implemented the  
recommendations, except for four recommendations, from the Committee of Corporate Governance  
(Komitéen for god Selskabsledelse) for companies listed on the Nasdaq Copenhagen exchange.  
The Management of Pharma Equity Group believes that the Company operates in compliance with guidelines  
and recommendations that support the Company’s business model and can create value for the Company’s  
stakeholders.  
Regularly and at least once a year, the Management monitors adherence to the recommendations on  
corporate governance to ensure the best possible use of and compliance with the recommendations and  
legislation.  
In accordance with Section 107 b of the Danish Financial Statements Act, Pharma Equity Group has published a  
statutory report on Corporate Governance for the financial year 2023 on the Company’s website:  
Corporate Governance Report 2023  
1.1 The Board of Directors  
The Pharma Equity Group is managed in a two-tier structure composed of the Board of Directors and the Executive  
Management.  
The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall strategic management and the financial and managerial  
supervision of the Company, as well as for regular evaluation of the work of the Executive Management. The Board  
of Directors also ensures that the Company is properly managed as required by the Articles of Association, other  
guidelines, policies and applicable rules and regulations. Furthermore, the Board of Directors makes decisions on all  
unusual matters or matters with far-reaching implications.  
The Board of Directors defines guidelines for the distribution of responsibilities between the Board of Directors and  
the Executive Management but does not participate in the day-to-day management of the Company. The duties of  
the Board of Directors are described in the Rules of Procedure.  
The Executive Management is appointed by the Board of Directors, which lays down their terms and conditions of  
employment and the framework for their duties. The Executive Management is responsible for the day-to-day  
management of the Company in compliance with the guidelines and directions issued by the Board. The day-to-day  
operations do not include transactions of an unusual nature or of material importance to the affairs of the Company.  
As of December 31, 2023, the Executive Management consisted of Thomas Kaas Selsø, CEO.  
1.2 Composition of the Board of Directors  
The General Meeting, which is the Company's supreme authority, elects between three and seven members to the  
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors elects a Chairperson and a Vice Chairperson. The members elected by the  
shareholders hold office for terms of one year at a time and may be re-elected.  
The members of the Board of Directors are nominated and stand for election on the basis of their specific  
qualifications and experience of relevance to the Company. Thus, the Board of Directors is composed with a view to  
ensuring an optimum combination of professional industry experience in general, in research and development, in IP  
rights and conclusion of contracts, in sales and marketing, as well as in finance and economics.  
More than half of the Board members are considered independent in order for the Board of Directors to be able to  
act independently.  
17  
 
Corporate Governance  
Each Board member's special qualifications may be found on the Company's website.  
In 2023, the Board of Directors, impacted by the PEG/Reponex transaction as well as the various changes in  
the composition of the Board, held eighteen Board meetings. Six meetings are planned for 2024 in  
accordance with the Board of Directors' annual plan, which may be changed at any time to allow for  
additional meetings or as deemed necessary.  
In 2023, Pharma Equity Group acquired Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S. Accordingly, several changes to the  
Board of Directors were made throughout 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Board of Directors consists of  
5 members elected by the shareholders.  
In section 4 is an overview of the members of the Board of Directors and term.  
1.3 Board Committees  
o Audit Committee with the following members: Christian Vinding Thomsen, Chair, Lars Gundorph, Peter Vilmann,  
Omar Qandeel and Martin Rossen.  
o Nomination and Remuneration Committee with the following members: Lars Gundorph, Chair and Christian  
Vinding Thomsen.  
o Business, Research and Development Committee with the following members: Peter Vilmann, Chair and Omar  
Qandeel.  
More information about the committees, including the terms of reference which specify the tasks and responsibilities  
for each of the committees are available on the Company’s website: https://pharmaequitygroup.com/our-board-

of-operations/  
1.4 Diversity in the Management
In 2023, the Board of Directors (first-tier management level) had both male and female members. However, by
31 December 2023, the Board of Directors consists only of 5 male members, whereby the female share is of
0% (2022 3 members 0%). In its search for new board candidates, gender distribution is considered, together
with other relevant competencies for election at the annual general meeting in 2024. It is the Company’s goal
to achieve equal gender representation in the Board of Directors by 2026 at the latest.
By the end of 2023, the Executive Board consists of 1 male person (end 2022 female share: 0%). The Company
has no other employees than the CEO. At group level, in addition to the CEO of the parent company, other key
management persons consist of 2 male persons. As long as the parent company only has one employee, policy
for gender allocation is not applicable for the second-tier management level. If the parent company expands
its organization and more people is employed by the parent company, and depending on the management
structure that will be implemented, the Board of Directors expects that the target for gender allocation for the
second-tier management will be based on equal gender representation.
With the current legal structure, the Board of Directors are focused on having equal gender representation for
the second-tier management group on a group level by 2026 at the latest.
Based on the current legal and management structure for the Company and the Group, the actual gender
allocation and the targets can be summarized as follows:

be expanded each year until a 5-year history can be presented.  
** Equal representation means 50-50% in case of even number of Directors and 40-60% in case of uneven number of  
Directors.  
1.5 Evaluation of the Board  
According to the Board of Directors Annual Plan, the Board conducts an annual self-evaluation. The evaluation  
covers, among other things, the Board's work, accomplishments and composition. The Chair heads the annual  
evaluation, which is conducted at least every third year by an external consultant. The process, whether it is  
facilitated internally or by external consultants, evaluates topics such as board dynamics, board agenda, quality of  
the material that is submitted to the Board, discussions at the Board meetings, the chair’s leadership of the Board,  
strategy, Board composition and Board competencies. Typically, the process is further facilitated by each Board  
member filling out a detailed questionnaire, and the Board members are asked to score to which extent they  
agree with the individual questions. The results of the questionnaire are then discussed at a subsequent Board  
meeting, and the individual comments submitted are used in the planning and handling of future Board meetings.  
As there have been several changes to the Board of Directors throughout 2023, the assessment has been  
performed on a continuous basis in 2023. The year-end assessment conducted by the Board of Directors  
concluded that additional competencies with regards to financing are required and that further development and  
continued optimization of Board work and delegation of tasks within the Board are a matter of focus in 2024.

Corporate social responsibility  
2. Corporate social responsibility
As a company deeply committed to corporate social responsibility, we prioritize actions that reflect our dedication
to the broader economic, societal, and environmental interests. At the heart of our operations are our patients,
who constitute our DNA and our primary stakeholders.
Our innovative repositioning strategy focuses on converting existing medications into locally administered drugs,
enhancing the targeted delivery, safety, and efficacy beyond what is currently available as standard care. This
approach not only addresses specific healthcare needs more effectively but also aligns with our long-term vision of
creating economic value for our primary stakeholders while fostering a sustainable and health-centric future.
Our commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is embedded in our mission to develop new effective
medicines for the local treatment of serious, acute, and chronic inflammatory diseases that have significant
consequences for patients and society and for which there is currently no optimal treatment. Our mission is
inspired by patients and the opportunity to address their unmet medical needs.
Pharma Equity Group has a small internal organization but is still committed to doing everything we can to ensure
that our efforts benefit our direct stakeholders (patients, shareholders, business partners, and colleagues) as well
as society. Our CSR policy focuses on areas most relevant to our core business:
• Quality in relation to research, development, and product supply activities - We adhere to the highest standards
of quality by always following international development and safety guideline and do comprehensive risk
assessments in all our research, development, and product supply efforts."
• Putting patients first - Our main priority in drug developments is product quality. This prioritization promotes
patient safety and efficacy, meeting their needs with no compromise.
• Creating strong business partnerships – Our business partnerships have been there since the foundation.
• Environmental conditions, including the company's work to reduce climate impacts from the company's
activities – We actively work to minimize our environmental footprint and reduce climate impact in all our
operations. This commitment is especially evident in the assessment process of new potential vendors, where we
rigorously inquire about their environmental footprint to ensure alignment with our sustainability goals.
• Working environment, employee well-being, and diversity –Our goal is to cultivate a welcoming culture where
diversity is celebrated, and every employee is satisfied and feels valued.
• Respect for human rights - We uphold the highest standards of human rights in every aspect of our operations,
ensuring fairness, personal data protection and equity.
• Anti-corruption and bribery - We strictly enforce policies against corruption and bribery to maintain integrity and
trust in all our dealings.
• Business ethics – Our business ethics guide us to conduct our activities with honesty, integrity, and transparency
for all stakeholders.
At this stage, the Group is focused on ensuring progress for its product candidates and ensure that revenue
generating activities expectedly can start from 2025. Hence, up to now the Board of Directors have defined
policies as listed above, but as a matter of prioritisation, the policies have not yet been translated into direct
actions, and as a result it is currently too early to report on what results have been achieved to date.
21  
 
Considering the character of the Group’s current activities, the risks relating to environment and climate, human
rights, anti-corruption are also assessed to be insignificant as of today, and hence risk of any negative impact
arising from these topics is considered remote in the current situation.
For a more general description of the Group’s risk management assessment and risk management activities,
reference is made to the separate description in the “Risk management” paragraph of the Management’s review.
We work to create a better life for patients and are proud to be working with the Colitis – Crohn Foreningen (CCF),
which is a part of our CSR.

Risk Management  
3. Risk Management  
The Company's policy is to identify and mitigate risks deriving from the Company's operations and to establish  
appropriate level of internal controls and reporting processes, and to establish sufficient insurance coverage  
where possible and as deemed necessary in the circumstances.  
The Board of Directors is responsible for the risk management strategy and the overall risk management  
framework and policies. The Board, advised by the Audit Committee as appropriate, manages risks and  
reviews the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control and financial reporting systems and  
processes. Management believes that all significant elements of risk have been identified and addressed.  
At least once a year, the Audit Committee evaluates the risks connected with the financial reporting process,  
including the presence of internal controls, policies and guidelines. The Committee assesses the Group’s  
organizational structure, including the risk of fraud and the measures to be taken to reduce and/or eliminate  
such risk. In that regard, any incentive or motive from the Executive Management to manipulate earnings or  
perform any other fraudulent action is discussed.  
The Group’s internal controls and guidelines provide a reasonable but not absolute certainty that unlawful  
use of assets, loss and/or significant errors or deficiencies in relation to the financial reporting process can be  
avoided. The Board of Directors has decided not to institute an internal audit function at Pharma Equity  
Group, based on its assessment that the Company’s size and complexity does not necessitate such a function.  
Pharma Equity Group is considering the establishment of a whistleblower scheme, which gives employees and  
other stakeholders the opportunity to report serious wrongdoing or suspicions thereof in an appropriate and  
confidential manner, and with a secure procedure for handling any whistleblower cases.  
Pharma Equity Group’s value chain consists primarily of IP-rights and research and development. By the  
nature of our business, we are exposed to a variety of risks along the value chain.  
Pharma Equity Group has a thorough risk management and mitigation process, whereby Pharma Equity Group  
is managing the risks through risk identification, risk monitoring and risk mitigation. The process will in 2024  
be an integrated part of the Pharma Equity Group operational procedures and the management processes.  
The Audit Committee, which includes Finance and Risk areas, will own and overseas the risk management  
process and will closely monitor the risks on a quarterly basis, including selected deep dives on specific risks.  
The Board of Directors will receive regular risk updates from The Audit Committee which will be taken into  
consideration in the Board’s overall decisions about the company strategy.  
The formal process ensures both bottom-up and top-down identification and handling of risks. In this process  
key risks are first identified through a bottom-up process including description of the risks and mitigating  
actions taken to reduce either the likelihood of occurrence or the potential impact. Residual risk after agreed  
mitigating actions is further mitigated by insurance where this is relevant and possible. All risks will have  
assigned risk owners, normally at the Executive level, and assigned risk-responsible employees who monitor  
and mitigate the risks closely.  
The table below summarizes some of the key risks that are important to Pharma Equity Group’s business  
including examples of mitigating actions.

succeeding in creating a marketable product is not related to the repositioning  
strategy, but the related to the safety, efficacy and usability of the product like all  
other development drugs in clinical testing.  
Reponex out licensing strategy also entails that prior to a phase 3 clinical trial a  
licensing partner have been identified to continue the clinical development of the  
product. Depending on the structure of the licensing agreement, Reponex have  
received payments and transferred the risked of getting market authorization to

Independent auditor´s report  
Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Pharma Equity Group A/S
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of Pharma
Equity Group A/S for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2023, which comprise statements of
comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity and cash flows, and notes, including material
accounting policy information, for the Group and the Parent Company. The consolidated financial statements and
the parent company financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted
by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements give a true and
fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company at 31 December 2023 and of the results of
the Group's and the Parent Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January – 31 December
2023 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the
Danish Financial Statements Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our long-form audit report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and additional
requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further
described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent
company financial statements" (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the financial statements") section of our
report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants'
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements
applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the IESBA Code.
To the best of our knowledge, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as described in article 5(1)
of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.
Appointment of auditor
We were initially appointed as auditor of Pharma Equity Group A/S on 10 February 2023 for the financial
year 2022. We have been reappointed annually by resolution of the general meeting for a total consecutive
period of 1 year up until the financial year 2023.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the consolidated and parent company financial statements for the financial year 2023. These matters were
addressed during our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed
the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled our responsibilities described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
and parent financial statements" section, including in relation to the key audit matters below. Accordingly, our
audit included the design and performance of procedures to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated and parent
company financial statements.

Key audit matters
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Capital resources
In 2023, the Company has not received payment
from Portinho S.A as further explained in note
2.1 to the consolidated financial statements.
Our procedures in relation to the assessment
of sufficiency of the Group’s capital resources
included:
Management has considered that sufficient
capital resources are available to cover the cash
outflow from the expected loss in 2024.
- Reviewing and challenging the key
assumptions in Management’s forecasted cash
flows for 2024;
We have identified the sufficiency of capital
resources as a key audit matter as forecast of
cash outflows is based on Management’s
judgements and estimates.
- Agreeing the Group’s debt facilities to
supporting documents with focus on the
agreements that support that maturity date
can be deferred if no payment will be received
from Portinho S.A in 2024;
Reference is made to note 22 to the
consolidated financial statements.
- Obtained documentation for credit facilities
and convertible loans obtained in 2024;
- Assessing the appropriateness of the
disclosures included in note 22 to the
consolidated financial statements.
31  
 
Independent auditor´s report  
Our procedures in relation to the assessment of the
net realisable value of the Portinho S.A receivable
included:
Portinho S.A receivable
The carrying value of the Portinho S.A receivable is DKK
58 million.
The principal of the receivable and accrued interest in
total amount to DKK 79.1 million. The receivable
measured at amortized cost.
– Reviewing Management’s documentation of its
dialogue with representatives of Portinho S.A
including confirmation of outstanding amount and
accrued interest as of 31 December 2023;
We refer to notes 2.1 and 14 to the consolidated
financial statements and note 2 in the parent company
financial statements.
- Reviewing and challenging Management’s
documentation and support for its assessment that
the Portinho S.A receivable in time will be recovered;
Due to the uncertainty as to whether Management’s
assessment of the recoverability and the timing of
when this realistically will take place, and the
complexity of determining net realization value, we
consider the measurement of the Portinho S.A
receivable to be a key audit matter.
- Testing and evaluating the appropriateness of the
model used to determine the net realisable value of
the receivable including challenging the
reasonableness of the key assumptions such as timing
of when the receivable realistically is expected to be
recovered and testing and challenging the discount
rate used to calculate the the net realisable value;
– Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures
included in notes 2.1 and 14 to the consolidated
financial statements and note 2 in the parent company
financial statements.
32  
 
Independent auditor´s report  
Parent company financial statements: Impairment
assessment of investment in Reponex
Pharmaceuticals A/S
The carrying value of investment in subsidiary is DKK
689 million and consists of shares in Reponex
Pharmaceuticals A/S, which is measured at cost price.
We refer to note 2 in the parent company financial
statements.
Our procedures in relation to the assessment of the
recoverable amount of the investment in Reponex
Pharmaceuticals A/S included:
– Reviewing Management’s impairment test of the
investment in Reponex Pharmaceuticals, including
progress of the development of the underlying product
candidates;
We have identified the potential impairment of the
investment in Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S in the
parent company financial statements as a key audit
matter due to the significance of the investment in the
parent company financial statements and the
complexity and subjective nature of Management’s
determination of the recoverable amount.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of the model used by
management to calculate the recoverable amount for
Reponex Pharmaceutical A/S;
- Assess and challenge the reasonableness of the key
assumptions such as likelihood that partnership
agreements will be entered, royalty rates, market size
and market shares, timeline and discount rates;
- Reviewing and comparing external valuations of
Pharma Equity Group A/S – and thereby indirectly
valuations of Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S – with the
valuations prepared by Management;
– Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures
included in note 2 of the parent company financial
statements
Statement on the Management’s review
Management is responsible for the Management's review.
Our opinion on the consolidated and parent company financial statements does not cover the Management's
review, and we do not express any assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated and parent company financial statements, our responsibility is to
read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially
inconsistent with the consolidated and parent company financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during
the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required
by relevant law and regulations.
33  
 
Independent auditor´s report  
Based on our procedures, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the consolidated and
parent company financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of relevant law
and regulations. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management's review.
Management’s responsibilities for the consolidated and parent company financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and
additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control as Management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated and parent company financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing
the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated and parent
company financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated and parent company financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated and parent company financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in
Denmark
will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated and parent company financial statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we
exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and parent company financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal
control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Group's and the Parent Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by Management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the consolidated and parent company financial statements and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related
disclosures in the consolidated and parent company financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Parent
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
34  
 
Independent auditor´s report  
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the consolidated and parent company
financial statements, including the note disclosures, and whether the consolidated and parent company
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair
view.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that
may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats
or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
1. Accounting policies  
1.1 Basis of preparation  
The consolidated report for the year 1 January –31 December 2023 (”2023”) has been prepared in accordance  
with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the EU, IFRIC interpretations and with those parts of the  
Danish Financial Statements Act applicable to listed companies.  
IFRS is subject to amendments and interpretations by the IASB and the IFRS Interpretations Committee, and there  
is an on-going process of review and endorsement by the European Commission. The consolidated report for 2023  
complies with each IFRS that is mandatory for accounting periods ending on 31 December 2023.  
The consolidated report have been prepared on the going concern basis and have been prepared under the  
historical cost convention.  
The principal accounting policies are set out below.  
Accounting for Reponex transaction:  
On 24 March 2023, Pharma Equity Group
A/S
(”PEG”) acquired the entire share capital in Reponex  
Pharmaceuticals (”Reponex”) in exchange for shares in PEG and whereby the shareholders of Reponex have  
become the majority owner of PEG. The acquisition of Reponex means that PEG from 24 March 2023 is required to  
publish consolidated financial statements. In the past, PEG's financial reporting has been on a stand-alone basis.  
With the Reponex shareholders becoming the majority owners of PEG, Reponex has been identified as accounting  
acquirer for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements. Hence, the consolidated report reflects the  
assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of Reponex for the entire 2023, including reported comparative  
figures, whereas the assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of PEG are reflected in the consolidated report  
from 24 March 2023 where the transaction was completed. Hence, this is an important change compared to the  
past. For the reporting of historical financial figures for PEG, these are reported as comparative figures in the  
parent financial statements.  
Also, Reponex has applied IFRS in the past, and there have been no changes in the accounting principles and the  
application of IFRS for 2023 compared to the accounting principles applied by Reponex in the past, except for a  
change in the accounting for development projects and presentation of inventories as described below.  
Change in the accounting for development projects:  
Reponex has a pipeline of biotech development projects in the form of product candidates in phase 2. The Group  
plans to out-license their product candidates to partners when this is considered feasible and commercial  
attractive.  
Until 2020, Reponex capitalized certain development costs relating to the then ongoing development projects.  
Due to the general uncertainty as to whether final approvals will be obtained, and thereby the inherent  
uncertainty relating to the value of the ongoing development projects, Reponex ceased to capitalize further  
development costs from 2021, and from 2021 the then capitalized development costs have been subject to  
amortization on a straight-line basis over 14 years being the remaining life-time (in 2021) for underlying patents.  
Considering that the development is still ongoing for the product candidates, Management has reconsidered the  
accounting policy adopted in 2021, and Management has concluded that it is inappropriate to amortize the  
capitalized development costs since amortization imply that the development has been completed and the related  
intellectual properties have been taken in use, which is not yet in fact the case. On this basis, with effect from  
2023 the amounts capitalized in the past are now presented as “Development projects in progress” rather than  
“Completed development projects”. The change is accounted for as a change in accounting policy with retroactive  
impact from 2021 where the previous practice was introduced, and hence the comparative figures for 2021 and  
2022 have been amended accordingly by reversing the amortization charges recognized in 2021 and 2022. As a  
consequence of the changed accounting, the capitalized development costs will be tested annually for  
impairment. See note 2.2 and note 11.

Change in presentation inventories / prepaid costs  
In the financial report for Reponex for 2022, an amount of TDKK 1,592 was presented as inventory under current  
assets. The amount consists of purchased and not yet used drugs and materials to be used in the testing and  
documentation of the development of the different drug candidates. With effect from 2013 such purchases not yet  
consumed are recognized and presented as prepaid costs. The 2022 figures have been adjusted accordingly.The  
change in classification does not have any influence of the result nor the equity for the year.  
1.2 Foreign currency translation  
Functional and presentation currency  
The financial statements are presented in DKK, which is also the functional currency of the Group.  
Foreign currency transactions and balances  
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency, using the exchange rates prevailing at  
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions  
and from the re-measurement of monetary items denominated in foreign currency at year-end exchange rates are  
recognised in the income statement.  
Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the  
exchange rates at the transaction date), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are  
translated using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date.  
1.3 Revenue and segments  
The Group has not yet engaged in revenue generating activities and hence no revenue is recognized in the  
financial statements.  
Currently, Management regard the Group to operate in one segment, and hence no segment disclosures are  
provided.  
1.4 Research and development costs  
Research and development costs primarily comprise internal and external costs related to development activity.  
The costs include external consultants, employee costs, materials and registration work regarding patents.  
43  
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
1.5 Administrative costs  
Administrative costs comprise costs incurred during the year concerning management and corporate costs,  
including costs concerning administrative staff, the executive board, stock exchange costs, investor relations
and  
IT etc.  
1.6 Net financials  
Net financials comprise interest,
currency gains/losses, amortisation of financial assets and liabilities, additions  
and reimbursements under the Danish tax repayment scheme, etc. Financial income and expenses are recognised  
in the income statement with the amounts that relate to the respective financial years. Fair value changes relating  
to the Portinho S.A receivable is due to the financial nature of the receivable also included in Net financials.  
1.7 Share based employee remuneration  
In the past, Reponex has issued equity-settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees and member of  
the board of directors. The last plan was settled in February 2023 with an equity inflow of DKK 12.7m in Reponex.  
As per 31.12 2023 there are no ongoing share-based remuneration plans.  
In the past, the share-based remuneration plans have been recognized as an expense with a corresponding credit  
to retained earnings. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions applied, the expense was allocated over the  
vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share expected to vest.  
Upon exercise of warrants, the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, have been  
allocated to share capital up to the nominal (or par) value of the shares issued with any excess being recorded as  
share premium, and where the share premium amount is immediately reclassified to retained earnings as allowed  
under the Danish Company Law.  
1.8 Intangible assets  
Development projects and patents  
Patents and development costs recognised in the balance sheet are measured at cost less accumulated  
amortization and any write-downs for impairment. Patents and finalized development projects are amortized over  
the remaining lifetime of the patents with 2021 as the starting year for amortization where the patents had a  
remaining life time of 14 years. Amortization methods, useful years and residual values are reviewed every year.  
Reference is made to note 1.1 above where a change between completed and ongoing development projects is  
described inluding reversal of amortisation recognised in the past. Further reference is made to note 2.2 where  
the most significant estimations relating to development projets and patents are described.  
Gain and loss from the sale of intangibles are calculated based on the difference between the sales price with  
deduction of sales costs and the book value at the time of the sale. Gain or loss are recognised in the income  
statement as other operating income or other operating expenses.  
1.9 Tangible assets  
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any write-down for impairment.  
The depreciable amount is cost less any expected residual value after the end of the useful life of the asset.
The  
depreciation period and the residual value are determined at the acquisition date and
reassessed annually.  
If the residual value exceeds the carrying amount, depreciation is discontinued.  
If the depreciation period or the residual value is changed, the effect on deprecation will, in future, be recognised  
as a change in the accounting estimates.  
The cost comprises acquisition cost and costs directly associated with the acquisition until the time when the asset  
is ready for use. The
cost of an asset is divided into separate components
components  
when relevant. These
are depreciated
separately, the useful lives of each individual components differing, and
the individual  
component representing a material part of the total cost.  
44  
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis according to an assessment of the expected useful life
and the  
residual value of the individual assets:  
Useful life  
Residual value  
Equipment  
3-5 years  
0%  
Gain or loss derived from the disposal of tangible fixed is measured as the difference between the sales price less  
selling costs and the carrying amount at the date of disposal. Gain or loss is recognised in the income statement as  
other operating income or other operating expenses.  
1.10 Leased assets and leasing liabilities  
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. The Group recognizes  
right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities at the lease commencement date, except for short-term  
leases and leases of low value. For these leases, lease payments are recognized as an operating expense on a  
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liabilities  
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus initial costs incurred.  
The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment  
losses . The right-of-use assets are from the commencement date depreciated over the shorter period of lease  
term and useful life of the underlying asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on  
the same basis as those of the Group's corresponding assets such as equipment. In addition, right-of-use assets  
are periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any.  
The lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the  
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate con not be readily  
determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate.  
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liabilities comprise the following:  
- Fixed
payments.  
- Variable
payments, if any, dependent on an index or rate.  
- The
exercise price of a purchase option, if any,
if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.  
- Amounts
expected to be payable under residual value guarantees, if applicable.  
The lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is  
remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a  
change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if management  
changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.  
When the lease liabilities are remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount  
of the right-of-use assets, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets has been  
reduced to zero.  
1.11 Impairment testing of intangible assets and tangible assets  
The carrying amounts of both intangible and tangible assets are subject to an annual impairment assessment in  
order to disclose any indication of impairment beyond those expressed by amortisation and depreciation.  
If indications of impairment are are assessed to exist, impairment tests are carried out for each individual asset or  
group of assets (cash-generating unit).  
Developments projects in progress and any intangible assets with indefinite lives will be impairment tested  
annually, no matter whether or not there are any indication of impairment.  
45  
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount  
exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. Reference is  
made to note 2.2 and 11 for a discussion of the impairment assessments and impairment testing applied for 2023  
for intangible assets.  
1.12 Financial instruments  
Recognition, initial measurement and de-recognition  
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual  
provisions of a financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transaction costs, except  
for those carried at fair value through profit or loss which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent  
measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.  
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or  
when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised  
when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.  
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets  
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as  
hedging instruments (currently not relevant) are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:  
1) loans and receivables (amortized costs)  
2) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) - currently not relevant  
3) held-to-maturity (HTM) investments - currently not relevant.  
All financial assets except for those at FVTPL are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date  
to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.  
Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described  
below.  
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within  
finance costs, finance income or other financial items.  
Loans and receivables  
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted  
in an active market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest  
method, less provision for impairment. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The  
Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial  
instruments.  
Reference is made to note 2.1 and 14 in relation to the measurement of the Portinho receivable following that  
reverse take-over accounting has been applied for the PEG/Reponex transaction.  
1.13 Income taxes  
Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other  
comprehensive income or directly in equity.  
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating  
to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable  
profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates  
and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, including any  
expected tax refund under the tax credit system for development activities. As described in note 9, current tax in  
2022 and 2023 only relates to recognition of tax credit from the Group's development activities.  
46  
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying  
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial  
recognition of goodwill, or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a  
business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with  
investments in subsidiaries is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the  
Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.  
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to  
their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the  
reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be  
utilised against future taxable income, based on the Group`s forecast of future operating results which is adjusted  
for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit.  
Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.  
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to set off current tax  
assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.  
As further described in note 9, no deferred tax assets have been recognized at 31.12.2023 and 31.12.2022.  
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit or  
loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income, or directly in equity,  
in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.  
1.14 Cash and cash equivalents  
Cash and cash equivalents comprise on demand bank deposits.  
1.15 Equity, reserves and dividend payments  
Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued and fully paid in.  
Share premium includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with  
the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits. As allowed under  
Danish corporate laws, share premium is presented as part of retained earnings, since share premium is a  
available for dividend distribution and can be used to cover negative free reserves.  
Retained earnings includes all current and prior period retained profits and losses and share-based employee  
remuneration as well as transfers of share premium.  
All transactions with owners are recognized separately within equity.  
Dividend distributions payable to shareholders are included in other liabilities when the dividends have been  
approved at a general meeting prior to the reporting date.  
2 Significant accounting estimates and judgements  
For 2023, Management has especially applied significant accounting estimates and judgements as follows:  
2.1 Accounting for PEG/Reponex transaction  
Reverse take-over  
As of 24 March 2023, PEG acquired 100% of the share capital in Reponex by issuing 977,347,625 shares of DKK 1  
each in a rights issue to the shareholders of Reponex after which the shareholders in Reponex owned approx. 95%  
of the total share capital in PEG. On this basis, Reponex has been identified as the accounting acquirer for the  
purposes of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, and the transaction is accounted for as a  
reverse take-over. Reference is made to note 5 for further information.  
47  
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Measurement of Portinho S.A receivable at transaction date  
PEG’s receivable from Portinho S.A has been outstanding for some years. In 2021 it was agreed to defer  
payment of the outstanding amount to 1 July 2023 at the latest.  
As a result of the PEG/Reponex transaction being accounted for as a reverse take-over, PEG’s Portinho S.A  
receivable has been subject to a separate fair value measurement exercise at the transaction date, since IFRS  
rules, in a reverse take-over transaction, require identifiable assets and liabilities of PEG to be recognised and  
measured at their fair values at the transaction date. Management has considered various ways of  
determining a relevant and reliable fair value of the receivable, and concluded that fair value of the receivable  
extracted from the market value of PEG, just prior to the transaction, represented the most relevant and  
reliable fair value of the receivable at the transaction date:  
- Just
prior to the transaction, PEG in reality only had one asset and did not have any operations, and hence,  
the market value of PEG to a large extent reflected the market’s valuation of the receivable.  
- Due
to the nature of the receivable, Management has concluded that a separate fair value assessment of  
the receivable, including making use of outside experts, would be subject to significant uncertainty, and  
thereby such valuation would not be a better or more reliable reflection of the receivable’s fair value than the  
fair value which could be extracted from the market value of PEG just prior to the completion of the  
transaction.  
- Management
has considered whether the market value of PEG just prior to the completion of the  
transaction included a value relating to the shell of PEG being an empty stock listed company. Management  
has noted that the price per share of PEG has decreased after the completion of the transaction and the listing  
of the shares issued to the Reponex shareholders. Although the development in the stock price for the PEG  
shares after the listing of the new shares is a result of multiple elements, Management
finds that the  
development in the share price – among other things – indicate that the market had not assigned a substantial  
value to the upcoming Reponex transaction in the stock price for PEG prior to the completion of the  
PEG/Reponex transaction, and hence Management finds that it is reasonable to assume and conclude that the  
value of the stock shell is not material, and hence no value for stock shell has been identified and recognized in  
the 2023 consolidated financial statements.  
By determining the fair value by extracting it from the market value of PEG just prior to the completion of the  
transaction, the Portinho S.A receivable was valued at DKK 62.4 million at 24 March 2023 (the transaction  
date).  
Measurement of Portinho SA receivable at balance sheet date  
Portinho S.A did not pay the receivable at 1 July 2023. Representatives of PEG have been in regular dialogue  
with representatives of Portinho S.A to find solutions for securing that the receivable and ensuring it will be  
recovered. During the dialogue between the Company´s Board of Directors and the management of Portinho  
S.A. the exact receivable amount has been confirmed as per 31 December 2023 to EUR 10.6m (approximately  
DKK 78.9m including added interest). As part of the dialogue, interest rate going forward from 1 July 2023 has  
been agreed to 2% per quarter. Before reassessing the value of the receivable, see below, the carrying value of  
the receivable at 31 December 2023 equaled DKK 65.8m including added interest for the period 1 April – 31  
December 2023 of DKK 3.4m.  
48  
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Based on the regular dialogue with representatives from Portinho S.A, Management finds that it is reasonable  
to expect that the receivable will be recovered in time. However, since Portinho S.A was not able to settle the  
receivable at the agreed maturity and still has not honored the receivable, Management has reassessed the  
value of the receivable. The key assumptions applied include:  
(i) Despite the fact that the amount has not yet been received, based on the dialogue with representatives of  
Portinho S.A and assessment of the realistic value of underlying development projects, Management is still  
convinced that the amount in time will be received from Portinho S.A including interest. Among others,  
reference is made to Company Announcements No. 36 from 30 June 2023, No. 39 from 25 September 2023,  
and No. 46 from 28 November 2023 .  
(ii) Management has looked at various ways of securing the full settlement of the receivable and the realistic  
timeframes for the various scenarios. This includes balancing giving Portinho time to complete the selling of  
the company or the underlying assets or other ways of securing funding to be able to settle the debt to PEG,  
and considering using legal actions or taking the shares in Portinho S.A back and sell the shares to third parties,  
etc.  
(iii) Management has calculated present values for the various scenarios applying a discount rate that reflect  
the uncertainty in the timeframe which especially is due to uncertainty relating to the timeframe for Portinho  
S.A obtaining cash-flows from its underlying development projects.  
By applying this methodology, Management has assessed the estimated net realisable value of the receivable  
to be DKK 58m at 31 December 2023, and hence the consolidated income statement reflects an allowance loss  
of DKK 7.8m (of which DKK 3.4m relates to the interest for the period 1 April – 31 December 2023), whereby  
the net allowance equals DKK 4.4m.  
Portinho receivable as a financial resource  
The receivable represents a significant expected financial resource to the Group, and hence Management has  
also made assessments of consequences if the receivable is not paid at the agreed due date. As further  
outlined in note 19, the majority of the Group’s short-term financial loans fall due concurrently with the  
receipt of payment from Portinho S.A, and as further outlined in note 22, this will ensure that the Group has  
sufficient financial resources available to executing on its plans for the foreseeable future and settle those  
financial obligations which falls due in 2024 even without receiving any payment from Portinho S.A in 2024.  
2.2 Accounting for development costs  
The Group is engaged in
development activities relating to various product candidates and as such, for  
financial reporting purposes, the Group makes estimates as to whether the development costs meet the  
requirements for capitalization, or whether the costs incurred should be expensed as incurred. Reponex'  
development projects are all ongoing with the target of entering into partnerships with third parties who will  
bring the products to the market based on license agreements securing the Group revenue in the form of  
upfront license payments and ongoing license payments.  
With effect from 2021 the then Reponex Management assessed that development costs incurred in 2021 and  
onwards did not meet the capitalization criteria in IAS 38 “Intangibles” and hence all development costs  
incurred from 2021 and onwards have been expensed as incurred. Despite Management has positive  
expectations for all ongoing product candidates, inherent significant uncertainty exist as to the future  
commercial and economical potential, including whether regulatory approvals will be obtained as a key  
success factor. Hence, Management has determined that it is considered most appropriate to expense all  
development costs as inclurred also in 2023.  
Also from 2021, Reponex began amortization of the amounts capitalized in the past of totally DKK 11.0m. As  
described in note 1.1, management has reassessed this accounting policy and concluded that it is  
inappropriate to recognize amortization charges as long as the product candidates are under development and  
no income generating activities take place. Hence past amortization charges have been reversed applying the  
rules for changes in accounting policy with retroactive adjustment of comparative figures.  
As a result of reclassifying the development projects to be projects in progress, IAS 38 requires that these  
ongoing projects are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amounts with the  
recoverable amounts where the recoverable amounts are the higher of fair value less cost of disposal and  
value in use.  
49  
 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
Management has performed an impairment test based on the rNPV-model ("risk adjusted net present value"),  
which is considered to be the appropriate model for determining fair value for life science development projects in  
its early stages. The rNPV-model is a variant of the discounted cash-flow model. The model has been applied for  
each of the product candidates under development in Reponex. Using this method, the value of the product  
candidates is the net present value of the forecasted cash flows where the cash flow projections are based on  
estimated market size, market share, treatment price, time to market, patent lifetime, royalty rate and  
development cost. The royalty rate has generally been set using an average of 25%.  
To arrive at the net present value, the cash flow projectsions have been discounted based on a risk-adjusted  
discount rate based on cost-of-capital with the addition for risk factors like development risk and risks relating to  
the estimations applied for market size, market share, treatment price, time to market, patent portfolio,  
partnerships, etc. The cost-of-capital has been set at 11,2% and including the risk factors, the risk-adjusted  
discount rate has been set at 22.0%.  
The model is inherently subject to significant uncertainty since the actual figures may differ significantly from the  
estimates applied, including risk such as product candidates will not obtain regulatory approvals or Reponex will  
not be able to enter into partnerships with third-party pharmaceutical companies, which is key to bring the  
product candidates to the market and thereby a key assumption for obtaining royalties in the future.  
At this stage, it is Management's assessment that the development of all product candidates are progressing  
satisfactory and Management believes that it is both realistic and achievable that partnership agreements will in  
time be entered for all or most of the product candidates, and that the risk-adjusted discount rate appropriately  
takes into consideration the multiple risks associated with all of the product candidates, but also with due  
consideration that the potential earnings for the product candidates should partnerships be entered and should  
the assumptions about the market size, market share, treatment price, life time of the products/patents, etc. be  
materialised as assumed, the value of the royalty earnings will far exceed the rNPV determined for each of the  
products.  
In the base case, applying an average royalty rate of 25% and discounting future cash-flows with 22.0%, the value  
of the Reponex development projects has been determined to be DKK 1.6 bn, which thereby implies that the value  
of the development projects in progress is not impaired.  
Sensitivity has not been disclosed due to the considerable head room between the calculated NPV and the  
carrying value of development projects in progress.  
3. Nature of operations  
The object of the Company is, without geographical limitation, to be a holding company for companies with Life  
Science activities and to invest in shares admitted to trading on a regulated trading venue or multilateral trading  
facility and unlisted shares as determined by the Board of Directors with a view to achieving long-term value  
added subject to appropriate risk diversification and other related activities.  
Currently the Group, through Reponex, is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development  
of new, effective treatments for diseases that have significant patient and social impact and for which current  
therapy is lacking or in need of improvement.  
The diseases may be acute and life threatening, such as bacterial peritonitis or colorectal cancer, or may be  
chronic diseases that spoil the quality of life and may shorten it, such as inflammatory bowel diseases, or  
complications of chronic diseases such as the disabling non-healing skin ulcers in patients with diabetes or venous  
insufficiency. The Group has 6 drug candidates in clinical phase 2  
Pharma Equity Group A/S is incorporated in Denmark and listed on Nasdaq main list.  
4. Revenue and segment information.  
No revenue has been recognized in 2023 and 2022. Currently, Management regard the Group to operate in one  
segment, and hence no segment disclosures are provided at this stage.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
5. PEG/Reponex transaction  
On 24 March 2023, PEG completed the acquisition of the entire share capital in Reponex in exchange for shares  
in PEG, and whereby the shareholders of Reponex became the owners of approx. 95% of the share capital of  
PEG.  
As consideration for the acquisition, PEG issued 977,347,625 new PEG shares of DKK 1 each. For legal purposes,  
the transaction price for Reponex was agreed to DKK 1.5 billion. For accounting purposes, the transaction price  
is based on the the market price for the issued shares at the first day of listing on 28 March 2023, as this is  
considered to approximate and to be the best estimate of the market price for the shares when these were  
legally issued on 24 March 2023.  
Under the provisions and requirements of IFRS, Reponex has been identified as the accounting acquirer due to:  
- Following the completion of the transaction, the shareholders of Reponex became the majority shareholders  
of PEG,  
- Going forward the Group’s primary activities will consist of the Reponex activities,  
- After the completion of the transaction, a new CEO was appointed coming from the Reponex structure and  
two out of three PEG board members resigned, and hence the majority of persons of the executive  
management and Board of Directors going forward after the transaction date was related to Reponex or  
elected after the Reponex shareholders have taken over the majority of the Group.  
As a result of Reponex being identified as the accounting acquirer, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse  
take-over when preparing the consolidated financial statements for PEG. This has the following accounting  
consequences:  
- The existing shareholders in PEG receive from an accounting perspective a consideration equal to their share  
of PEG based on the market value of PEG just prior to the completion of the transaction. Calculations indicate a  
fair value of the consideration DKK 34.6 million based on the stock price for the PEG shares just prior to issuing  
new PEG shares to the Reponex shareholders.  
- The existing shareholders in PEG, immediately prior to the transaction, are – in regard to the consolidated  
financial statements of PEG Group – treated as new shareholders, which are reflected as an equity increase  
equal to fair value of the shares received by the existing shareholders in PEG as outlined in the statement of  
movements in equity.  
- All identifiable assets and liabilities in PEG are reassessed to fair value and recognized in the consolidated  
financial statements from 24 March 2023. Assessment of fair value of the net assets in PEG equaled DKK 34.7  
million.  
The key considerations for measuring PEG identifiable assets and liabilities as of the transaction date can be  
summarized as follows:  
- As described in note 2.1 Management has extracted the fair value from PEG’s market value just prior to the  
transaction date, and on this basis the fair value of the Portinho S.A receivable has been determined to amount  
to DKK 62.4 million at the transaction date.  
- Fair value of liabilities has been determined to approximate the nominal value of the identifiable liabilities,  
including added interest for interest bearing liabilities, based on interest rates for interest bearing liabilities are  
considered in all material respects to reflect credit risk and period until all such liabilities will be settled. For  
trade payables and other liabilities, fair value has also been considered to be equal the underlying nominal  
value of the debts considering that normal short term payment terms have been agreed for these debt items.  
When determining the accounting for the PEG/Reponex transaction, Management considered whether there  
was an excess value between fair value of the consideration to the existing PEG shareholders and the fair value  
of the assets and liabilities in the existing PEG, which according to IFRIC agenda decision should be expensed, as  
a share-based payment, in the consolidated financial statements as the value of PEG’s stock shell.  
The fair value of the consideration to the existing PEG shareholders have been allocated in full to identifiable  
PEG assets and liabilities as of the transaction date, and thereby there is neither a positive nor a negative  
excess value to be separately accounted for including that no separate share-based payment element has been  
identified

In February 2023, warrant holders of Reponex exercised 203.266 warrants resulting in a cash equity inflow of DKK 12,7  
million after which there are no outstanding warrants. The expense of the program was allocated over the original  
vesting period where the expense was determined using Black-Scholes formula as follows:  
Grant date  
27 Aug 2020  
Vesting period ends (original agreement)  
15 Sept 2023  
Share price (DKK) at date of grant  
45.00

Risk-free rate  
-0.34%  
Fair value (DKK) per option at grant date  
2.255  
Exercise price (DKK) at date of grant  
62.50  
The standard volatility was calculated on the basis of daily returns on pharmaceutical companies on STOXX 24 months  
before the grant of warrants. As the risk free rate, the 10-year treasury bond rate was used based on the average in  
August 2020.  
The value of the warrants program was calculated to TDKK 543 which was to be allocated over the vesting period. As  
part of the preparation of the PEG/Reponex transaction where the warrants program was changed to be exercised  
before the transaction date, Reponex decided to recognise the remaining value in full in its 2022 financial statements,  
hence no cost has been recognised in 2023.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
The Group has accumulated tax losses of DKK 147m the value of which equals DKK 31.7m (tax rate 22%). The value of  
the tax losses have not been recognised on the balance sheet. Any recognition awaits that the Group will become  
profitable on a sustainable basis.  
The tax losses can to a large extent only be utilised by the legal entity who has had the tax losses. Tax losses incurred  
after 24 March 2023 can be used by both companies in the Group. The access to utilizing the tax losses can be

Reference is made to note 1.1 where it is described that Reponex and thereby the Group has concluded that since  
all development projects are ongoing, the accounting for the development projects has changed with retroactive  
effect so that amortization charges are not recognized as long as projects are still under development and no  
revenue generating activities have started. Past recognized amortization has been reversed retroactively. The  
above table hence reflects the updated accounting for development projects in progress.  
As a result of changing the classification of development projects to be projects in progress, IAS 38 requires that  
these ongoing projects are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying amounts with the  
recoverable amounts where the recoverable amounts are the higher of fair value less cost of disposal and value in  
use. As
stated in note 2.2. Management has concluded that the development projects recognized on the  
statement of financial position are not impaired.  
Patents are amortized over the remaining life of underlying patents and thereby allocating the cost over the period  
where Reponex obtains protection and exclusivity to use the knowhow that the patents represent.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
The receivable from Portinho S.A matured on 1 July 2023 without receiving payment.  
Portinho S.A has confirmed to owe €10,6 million (DKK 79,1 million) to Pharma Equity Group at 31 December  
2023 including added interest. The receivable accrued interest with 2% p.a until 1 July 2023 and from 1 July  
2023 the interest has been increased to 2% per quarter.  
Management of Pharma Equity Group has been in regular dialogue with representatives of Portinho S.A. Based  
on this dialogue, Management is confident that the receivable in time will be recovered based on the value of  
underlying assets, where the realization of underlying assets have been delayed, but realization at values  
securing full payment to Pharma Equity Group is still considered realistic and achievable, but with uncertainty  
as to when transaction(s) will be finally closed.  
Considering that Portinho S.A was not able to settle the receivable at the agreed maturity and still has not  
honored the receivable, as further described in note 2.1, based on the expectation that the recoverability  
realistically will take longer time than originally expected, Management has reassessed the estimated net  
realisable of the receivable to be DKK 58m at 31 December 2023, and hence the consolidated income  
statement reflects an allowance of DKK 7.8m (of which DKK 3.4m relates to the interest for the period 1 April –  
31 December 2023), whereby the net allowance equals DKK 4.4m.

Regarding shares issued to Reponex shareholders reference is made to note 5 PEG/Reponex transaction.  
Capital management policies and procedures.  
The Company's primary long-term capital management objectives are to provide a satisfactory return to  
shareholders. In the short-term and mid-term, until Portinho receivable has been recovered, and until revenue  
will begin to flow-in and cash-flow from operations will be sufficient to cover investment activities and financial  
commitments, Management has a strong focus on securing the recoverability of the Portinho receivable, and  
to secure that sufficient funds are available to carry-out its development and other operating activities as  
planned in the short-term and mid-term.  
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity plus financial
borrowings less  
cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of financial position.  
In 2023, the Group obtained equity funding of totally DKK 9,6m through a combination of Reponex warrants  
holders exersing warrants to share capital, PEG share issue just before PEG/Reponex transaction and less costs  
related to PEG/Reponex transaction. In addition, in 2023, the Group has obtained loans as a combination of  
regular financial loans from related parties of DKK 5.2m and through the issue of subordinated convertible  
loans resulting in proceeds of DKK 8m. In 2024, the Group has issued additional subordinated convertible loans  
resulting in additional proceeds of DKK 8m.  
As further described in note 22, with the terms established for existing funding and the terms for the funds  
provided in 2023 and early 2024, including available credit facilities, Management has concluded that the  
Group has sufficient capital resources to secure that the Group can carry-out its plans for 2024 and settle its  
financial commitments as they fall due in 2024, even without receiving any payment from Portinho S.A and  
without seeking additional funding or taking other extraordinary actions.  
To further inprove the Group´s capital resources the Company expects to establish additional convertible loans  
continuously over the year 2024, in accordance with the overall authorization in the articles of association. The  
Company currently has specific dialogue with several existing/new investors about further funding in the short-  
term. In addition, Management is working strategically on a more comprehensive increase in the capital and  
the share capital structure going-forward.

Subordinated convertible loan - long term  
The subordinated convertible loans were established in the period 5 September 2023 - 14 November 2023.  
The loans were granted as subordinated loan capital and is therefore subordinated to PEG´s other creditors,  
except for any other corresponding subordinated loan capital.  
The lenders' right to convert the loans into shares in PEG may be exercised for a period of 30 days commencing  
23 calendar months after the conclusion of the convertible loan ("the Exercise Period").  
The loans bear an interest of 3.25 % per quarter and remains without instalments until the expiry of the  
exercise period, after which PEG must repay the loans including interest within 60 days, though PEG may  
extend the loan period by 12 months.  
PEG may choose to pay the loan including interest by issuing shares (conversion of the debt instrument)  
For one of the subordinated convertible loans of TDKK 1,000 interest must be paid on quarterly basis and PEG  
does not have the possibility to extend the loan period by 12 months. Furthermore, the lender of this loan can  
chose to be repaid in cash. Other terms are identical to the other loans.  
The loans give the lenders the right to convert the loans into shares in PEG. The conversion rate is 1.00 per  
share of DKK 1.00. The new shares will be issued with the same rights as the existing shares.  
In 2024, PEG has issued additional subordinated convertible loans as follows:

If loans are converted, the new shares will be issued with the same rights as the existing shares.  
The Company can choose to settle the loans including added interest in PEG shares.  
Interest are added to the loan balance and no instalments are paid until exercise period commence, at which  
time the loans mature or are converted. The Company may extend the loan period by 12 months.

The classification of long-term and short-term debt is based on the agreed payment plans. For some of the loans,  
repayment of the loans mirrors the payment received from Portinho S.A. Hence some parts of the repayment of debt  
can be deferred if no payments are received from Portinho S.A in 2024. See note 22 for further information.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
However, as described in note 2.1, the recoverability of the Portinho S.A receivable may take longer time than  
originally anticipated. Hence, Management has taken various initiatives to secure sufficient funding to be able to  
execute on its plans for 2024 without receiving payment from Portinho S.A. As described in note 17, in 2023, the  
Group obtained equity funding of totally DKK 9,6m through a combination of (i) Reponex warrants holders  
exercising warrants to share capital, and (ii) PEG share issue just before PEG/Reponex transaction and less costs  
related to PEG/Reponex transaction. In addition, in 2023, the Group has obtained loans as a combination of regular  
financial loans from related parties of DKK 5.2m and through the issue of subordinated convertible loans resulting  
in proceeds of DKK 8m. In the first months of 2024, the Group has obtained new subordinated convertible loans  
resulting in additional proceeds of DKK 8m.  
The above table of capital resources reflects:  
1) Net cash outflow from current assets and current liabilities as of 31.12.2023 which will be settled in 2024 based  
on the expectation that no cash inflow will result from the Portinho S.A receivable in 2024;  
2) Cash outflow from from the budget/outlook 2024 approved by the Board of Directors considering that revenue is  
not expected to be generated until 2025;  
3) Cash inflow from the loans issued in the first part of 2024 and available credit facilities of DKK 12.6 million.  
4) If needed, Management will be able to reduce expected costs and thereby reduce forecasted cash  
outflow.  
With the funding received so far in 2024 and with the available credit facilities, the Group has sufficient funds to  
carry-out its planned activities for 2024 and settle its financial commitments as they fall due in 2024, even without  
receiving any payment from Portinho S.A, Management concludes that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated  
and parent company financial statements on a going-concern basis.  
To further improve the Group's capital resources, the Company expects to establish additional convertible loans  
continuously over the year 2024, in accordance with the overall authorization in the articles of association. The  
Company currently has specific dialogue with several existing/new investors about further funding. In addition,  
Management is working strategically on a more comprehensive increase in the capital and the share capital  
structure going-forward.  
23. Assets pledged and provided as security  
Portinho receivable with a carrying value of DKK 58m at 31 December 2023 (see note 14) is provided as security for  
bank debt with an amount up to DKK 4m, and secondarily as security for financial loans with an amount up to DKK 20m  
including unused drawing rights (amount per 31.12.2023).  
24. Contingent liabilities  
To the best of management's knowledge, the Group is not involved in any lawsuites, arbitration cases or other matters  
which could have a material impact on the Company's financial position or result of operations.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
25. Financial risks and financial instruments  
Risk management policy  
Management manages the Group’s financial risks. The management of the Group’s risks is included in the  
management's day-to-day monitoring of the Group. The Group is exposed to various financial risks, which result  
from its operating activities. The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets and financial  
derivatives.  
Credit risk  
Credit risk primarily relates to the Portinho S.A receivable which has been outstanding for multiple years. Reference  
is made to note 2.1 and 14 which in further detail describes background for the receivable still being outstanding  
and the fair value reassessment performed by management as of 31 December 2023. The maximum credit risk  
relating to the receivable corresponds to the carrying value, which has been determined based on a discounted  
basis based on assessed time frame before receivable at the latest expectedly will be recovered.  
Interest rate risks  
Bank loans, financial loans, loans from related parties and subordinated convertible debt all have a fixed interest  
rates, and hence the interest rate risk is deemed to be minimal, and hence sensibility disclosures are not deemed  
relevant.  
Foreign currency risk  
The Group incur certain costs in other currencies than DKK, though the level of such costs are limited, and hence the  
Group is not considered to be subject to special currency risks and exposures at the moment.  
Liquidity risk  
The Group’s liquidity risks cover the risk that the Group is not able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Reference is  
made to the information in note 22.  
The maturities of financial liabilities appear from the tables below. All amounts are contractual cash flows, i.e.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements  
All financial liabilities as at 31 December 2023 and 2022 are measured at amortised cost.  
The classification of long-term and short-term debt is based on the agreed payment plans. For some of the loans,  
repayment of the loans mirrors the payment received from Portinho S.A. Hence some parts of the repayment of debt  
can be deferred if no payments are received from Portinho S.A in 2024. See note 22 for further information.

Notes to the financial statements of the Parent Company  
1 Significant accounting policies and significant accounting estimates and assessments  
1.1 Basis of preparation  
The separate financial statement of the parent company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial  
Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (IFRS) and additional requirements under the Danish Financial Statements Act  
(Class D).  
The accounting policies for the financial statements of the parent company are unchanged from the previous financial  
year. The accounting policies are the same as for the consolidated financial statements with the supplementary  
accounting policies for the parent described below. For a description of the accounting policies of the Group, please refer  
to the consolidated financial statements.  
Note disclosures have only been included in the Parent Financial Statement where amounts differ from the consolidated  
financial statements.  
The parent company financial statements are presented in DKK, which is considered the functional currency of the parent  
company.  
2. Significant accounting estimates and judgements  
For 2023, Management has especially applied significant accounting estimates and judgements in the following  
areas:  
Investment in subsidiary  
Investments in subsidiary is recognised and measured at cost. The investment is examined at year-end for any  
impairment indicators. In the event of any indication of impairment, an impairment test is performed.  
As of 24 March 2023, PEG acquired 100% of the share capital in Reponex Pharmaceuticals A/S ("Reponex" by issuing  
977,347,625 shares of DKK 1 each in a rights issue to the shareholders of Reponex. For legal purposes, the  
transaction price for Reponex was agreed to DKK 1.5 bn. For accounting purposes, the transaction price is based on  
the the market price for the issued shares at the first day of listing on 28 March 2023, as this is considered to  
approximate and to be the best estimate of the market price for the shares when these were legally issued on 24  
March 2023. On this basis the purchase price for Reponex was determined to equal DKK 689m.  
At 31 December 2023, the market capitalisation of Pharma Equity Group A/S was approx. DKK 440m which implies  
that the value of the investment in Reponex could be impaired.  
Reference is made to note 2.2 in the consolidated financial statements which describes the impairment assessment  
performed at group level for development projects in progress. Considering that the value of Reponex is deemed to  
be identical to the value of its development projects (adjusted for other assets and liabilities in Reponex), same  
impairment analysis has been used to test the value of the investment in Reponex. As disclosed in note 2.2 in the  
consolidated financial statements, Management has assessed the NPV of Reponex' development projects to equal  
DKK 1.6bn, which value in all material respects also represents the value of the investment in Reponex, though  
adjusted for income tax of 22% on the underlying future earnings, whereby NPV after tax has been calculated to  
approx. DKK 1.2bn, which exceeds the book value of the investment.  
The value calculated for Reponex, implies that the equity of Pharme Equity Group would exceed the market  
capitalisation of Pharma Equity Group. It is management's assessment that this difference is primarily a result of the  
share being quite illiquid and that current market capitalisation reflects that the market is waiting for the Company  
can issue announcements about the further progress of the product candidates and eventually announcements of  
the Company having entered into partnerships with pharmaceutical companies as the basis for generating future  
royalty income.  
In addition, Management has noted that two external parties who are following the Pharma Equity Group share have  
published non-binding valuation indications, which do not differ much from the rNPV calculated by Management.  
Receivable Portinho S.A  
In the stand-alone financial statements for 2022 for PEG, the receivable from Portinho S.A was valued at DKK 70.8  
million based on a discounting of the amount expected to be paid on 1 July 2023 at the latest.  
As stated in consolidated financial statements, the receivable has not yet been paid.  
Reference is made to note 2.1 and 14 in the consolidated financial statements where it is described that  
Management has assessed the net realisable value of the receivable to be DKK 58 million. On this basis the Company  
has recognised an allowance of DKK 12.8m.

All financial liabilities as at 31 December 2023 are measured at amortised cost.  
The classification of long-term and short-term debt is based on the agreed payment plans. For some of the loans, repayment  
of the loans mirrors the payment received from Portinho S.A. Hence some parts of the repayment of debt can be deferred if  
no payments are received from Portinho S.A in 2024. See note 22 in the consolidated financial statements for further  
information.
