-*Announced positive top-line data from the MGT009 Phase 1/2 clinical study demonstrating safety and improvement in multiple domains of vision in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) patients treated with botaretigene sparoparvovec (AAV-RPGR) compared to untreated randomized control at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2022 Annual Meeting*

-*Continued enrollment and dosing of patients in pivotal Phase 3 Lumeos clinical trial of botaretigene sparoparvovec for the treatment of XLRP*

-*On track for BLA submission of botaretigene sparoparvovec for the treatment of XLRP in 2024*

LONDON and NEW YORK, March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MeiraGTx Holdings plc (Nasdaq: MGTX), a vertically integrated, clinical stage gene therapy company, today announced financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2022, and provided a corporate update.

"As we begin 2023, we are increasingly confident in all three of our lead clinical programs, as well as our transformative riboswitch gene regulation technology," said Alexandria Forbes, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of MeiraGTx. "In the fourth quarter of last year, we announced positive clinical data from our Phase 1 trial of AAV-hAQP1 for the treatment of grade 2/3 radiation-induced xerostomia and presented positive data at AAO demonstrating positive safety and sustained vision improvement in patients with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa who were treated with botaretigene sparoparvovec in our Phase 1/2 trial. We also presented 15 abstracts at the European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ESGCT) Annual Congress highlighting just some of the data from our gene control platforms, including for the first time our riboswitch gene regulation applied to cell therapy. In addition, we began dosing patients with adeno-associated virus (AAV) encoding glutamic acid decarboxylase (AAV-GAD), an investigational gene therapy for Parkinson's disease."

Dr. Forbes continued, "This year, in XLRP, we intend to complete enrollment of the pivotal Lumeos Phase 3 study and are on track for a BLA filing in 2024. In xerostomia, we intend to begin a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study in the second quarter, and in AAV-GAD for Parkinson's, we anticipate completing enrollment of our current study in the second half of 2023 as we move forward with discussions with global regulators regarding a path to BLA. This progress across multiple programs and platforms is enabled by our broad end-to-end capabilities in vectorology optimization and manufacturing. In addition, in 2023, we intend

------

![Graphic](mgtx-20230314xex99d1001.jpg)

to share more about our plans to use our riboswitch technology to allow gene therapy to be applied to more prevalent diseases in a cost-effective way. This has been one of our primary goals since the inception of MeiraGTx, and we are very excited to be advancing towards potentially achieving this ambition."

**Recent Development Highlights and Anticipated 2023 Milestones**

**Botaretigene Sparoparvovec for the Treatment of XLRP:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On October 1, 2022, clinical data from a Phase 1/2 MGT009 clinical trial (NCT03252847) were presented in a late-breaking oral presentation at the Retina Subspecialty Day program of the AAO 2022 Annual Meeting; treatment with botaretigene sparoparvovec was found to have an acceptable safety profile and efficacy assessments in this study and demonstrated improvements in retinal sensitivity, visual function and functional vision. <sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Further sensitivity analysis was conducted on study participants by applying the Phase 3 LUMEOS (NCT04671433) study eligibility criteria that corroborated the endpoints selected for the Phase 3 study. <sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· MeiraGTx, in collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Janssen), one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, is dosing patients in the pivotal Phase 3 LUMEOS clinical trial of botaretigene sparoparvovec and remains on track for a BLA submission in 2024.

**AAV-hAQP1 for the Treatment of Grade 2/3 Radiation-Induced Xerostomia:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· MeiraGTx reported positive clinical data from the AQUAx Phase 1 clinical trial in December 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Clinically meaningful improvements in xerostomia symptoms and disease burden in two validated Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) measures in both unilateral and bilateral treated cohorts were demonstrated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 18/24, or 75% achieved clinically meaningful symptom improvement using the Global Rate of Change (GRCQ) PRO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Using the Xerostomia Questionnaire (XQ), 71% (17/24) reported an improvement of >8 points (clinically meaningful), and 67% (16/24) had an improvement of ≥ 10 (considered transformative by KOLs).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Meaningful increases in whole saliva flow rates were observed post-treatment, providing objective evidence of the biological activity of AAV-hAQP1 treatment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Early long-term follow-up data suggest durability of improvement 2+ years post-treatment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o AAV-hAQP1 appears safe and well-tolerated at each dose tested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· All participants are followed for 1 year post-treatment and then enter a long-term follow-up study for another 4 years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company intends to present the final 12 month data from the bilateral treated cohorts from the AQUAx Phase 1 study in the second quarter of 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Based on the favorable safety and efficacy profile of AAV-hAQP1 in the AQUAx Phase 1 study, the Company intends to initiate a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study evaluating the bilateral administration of two active doses of AAV-hAQP1 in the second quarter of 2023.

**AAV-GAD for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease**:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company is now dosing patients in the AAV-GAD clinical trial under a new IND using material manufactured in its cGMP facility in London, United Kingdom using MeiraGTx ' s proprietary production process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The AAV-GAD trial is a three-arm randomized Phase 1 clinical bridging study with subjects randomized to one of two doses of AAV-GAD or sham control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The objective of the AAV-GAD trial (NCT05603312) is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AAV-mediated delivery of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) gene transfer into the subthalamic nuclei (STN) of participants with Parkinson's disease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Completion of enrollment is anticipated by the third quarter of 2023.

**Riboswitch Gene Regulation Platform & Vector Engineering:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company exhibited 15 poster presentations at the ESGCT 2022 Annual Congress, which included data from MeiraGTx ' s novel gene regulation platform, including the first data demonstrating the potential to regulate cell therapies including CAR-T, as well as data from the Company ' s promoter platforms and several new, optimized pre-clinical programs addressing severe unmet needs for indications such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Wilson ' s disease. In addition, the Company made several presentations on its proprietary viral vector manufacturing technology and potency assay development.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company ' s next-generation riboswitch-based gene regulation platform can be used to precisely control the expression of any gene delivered in any context with an unprecedented dynamic range using novel, synthetic, orally delivered small molecules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company now has over 30 novel orally available small molecules with high specificity and potency to its riboswitch aptamers moving through PK, biodistribution and toxicology studies, with the first GMP material for IND currently being manufactured.

**Gene Therapy Manufacturing:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· MeiraGTx ' s wholly-owned facilities have now produced GMP clinical trial material for 6 different indications, using multiple AAV serotypes, including administration into the eye, salivary gland and central nervous system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company believes that its proprietary platform production process has produced one of the highest yields and full ratios in the industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company believes that bringing all aspects of testing and vector production in-house reduces regulatory risk, ensures the highest quality of products, lowers costs and helps avoid bottlenecks in clinical development.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In addition to its 30,000-square-foot facility in London, MeiraGTx now has a 150,000-square-foot plant in Shannon, Ireland which contains three facilities: one built to be flexible and scalable for viral vector production, another to manufacture plasmid DNA – the critical starting material for producing gene therapy products – and third, a Quality Control (QC) hub performing advanced biochemical quality control testing appropriate for commercialization.

As of December 31, 2022, MeiraGTx had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $115 million, as well as approximately $21 million in receivables due from Janssen from the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company believes that with such funds, as well as anticipated milestones from Janssen, it will have sufficient capital to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2024.

**Financial Results**

Cash and cash equivalents were $115.5 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $137.7 million as of December 31, 2021.

License revenue was $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $37.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This decrease is a result of MeiraGTx receiving a $30.0 million milestone payment in connection with the Janssen collaboration during the year ended December 31, 2021.

General and administrative expenses were $46.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $43.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase of $2.8 million was primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation, legal and accounting fees, consulting fees and depreciation, which was partially offset by decreases in payroll and payroll-related costs, insurance, rent and facilities costs and other general and administrative expenses.

Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 were as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2022** | **2021** | **Change** |
| Gross research and development expenses | $165.8 | $141.1 | $24.7 |
| Janssen reimbursements | (73.3) | (69.0) | (4.3) |
| Tax incentive reimbursement | (6.8) | (5.4) | (1.4) |
| Research and development expenses | $85.7 | $66.7 | $19.0 |

---

Gross research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased $24.7 million as compared to the prior year primarily due to an increase in costs related to manufacturing of our clinical trial materials, payroll and payroll-related costs, costs related to our pre-clinical research and clinical trials, share-based compensation, rent and facility costs, depreciation and other research costs, which was partially offset by a decrease in license fees and acquired research and development costs.

Reimbursements under the Janssen collaboration agreement for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased $4.3 million as compared to the prior year primarily due to an increase in activity in the programs licensed under the Janssen collaboration agreement.

Tax incentive reimbursement for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased $1.4 million as compared to the prior year primarily due to the increase in allowable research and development costs.

------

![Graphic](mgtx-20230314xex99d1005.jpg)

Foreign currency loss was $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a loss of $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in the loss of $3.2 million was primarily due to an unrealized loss on the valuation of the Company's intercompany payables and receivables due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the pound sterling and euro during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Interest income was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due to a higher interest rate during 2022.

Interest expense was $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the interest on the Company's outstanding debt.

Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $129.6 million, or $2.87 basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share, compared to a net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $79.6 million, or $1.80 basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share for the year ended December 31, 2021.
