Bone Therapeutics is a leader in bone cell therapy
Since it was founded in 2006, the Company has already achieved clinical proof-of-concept and built
a broad and clinically advanced pipeline (2 pivotal Phase III and 3 Phase II) to address specifically
the bone fracture repair market (severe unhealed fractures) and the bone fracture prevention market
(bone fragility conditions)
Through a unique treatment approach using differentiated bone-forming cells, Bone Therapeutics’
products, administered via a minimally invasive procedure, form new bone and regenerate a healthy
bone environment
This approach is expected to offer significant benefits over the current costly standard-of-care that
often involves invasive surgery at high risk of complications and long recovery periods
The Company has two complementary, first-in-class product platforms, the autologous PREOB® and
the allogeneic ALLOB®, targeting five indications and protected by nine families of patents:
o Two pivotal Phase III clinical trials in non-union fractures and osteonecrosis
o Three Phase II clinical trials in delayed-union fractures, osteoporosis and spine fusion
The relevant fracture repair and fracture prevention markets (including the osteoporosis market)
represent a global market of around USD 34 billion and 42 million patients1. The Company’s
products target about a third of these markets, representing approximately 12 million patients in
Europe, the US and Japan, with limited competition.
The Company has a certified GMP production facility in Brussels and plans to move to a new larger
scale state-of-the-art GMP facility by mid-2016

Commenting on today’s announcement, Enrico Bastianelli, CEO of Bone Therapeutics, said: “Bone
Therapeutics is developing a leading and innovative breakthrough technology in bone cell therapy. Our
products, composed of differentiated bone cells enabling bone regeneration, bring a new treatment paradigm
to the field of fracture repair and fracture prevention. Results gathered so far have been very positive and
address areas of high unmet medical need with limited competition. To pursue ongoing clinical development
and consider product commercialisation, we believe that this is the ideal time to apply for a listing of the
Company’s shares on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Paris.”
Subject to the approval of the prospectus by the FSMA and market conditions, it is expected that the price
range, as well as other details of the offering will be published in the Belgian and French financial press,
