Notice of AGM and availability of Annual Report
Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM), a pharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of innovative products based on its proprietary, transdermal DermaSys® drug delivery technology and currently focused on sexual health and pain, today announces its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held at 10:00am on Thursday 22 June 2023 at the offices of Liberum Capital Limited, Ropemaker Place, 25 Ropemaker Street, London EC2Y 9LY.
If you wish to attend the meeting in person, please register your interest, prior to 10:00am on Monday 19 June 2023, at investor.relations@futuramedical.com.
Shareholders are asked to cast their vote as follows: (1) casting your proxy vote online by logging on to www.signalshares.com and following the instructions; or (2) in the case of CREST members, by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service; or (3) requesting a hard copy form of proxy directly from the registrars, Link Group. If you choose to attend the Annual General Meeting in person instead of appointing the Chairman of the meeting as proxy, as we strongly recommend, you will still be able to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting.
If you are not attending the Annual General Meeting in person, your proxy vote will need to be logged by 10:00am on Tuesday 20 June 2023 as no online voting will take place in-real time during the meeting itself.
The Company will operate an audio dial-in facility only to allow shareholders to listen to the business of the meeting: shareholders will need to be confirmed as a shareholder or present a letter of representation before details of how to access this facility are released to them via email the morning of the meeting. You can request access by emailing: investor.relations@futuramedical.com prior to 10:00am on Monday 19 June 2023.
This document should be read in conjunction with the Futura Medical plc annual report and accounts. If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your own personal financial advice immediately from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, or independent advisor, who, if you are taking advice in the United Kingdom, is authorised pursuant to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
Shareholders will not get an opportunity to vote or ask questions or participate in any other way during the call.

About Futura Medical plc
Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM), is a pharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of innovative products based on its proprietary, transdermal DermaSys® technology. Each DermaSys® formulation is separately patented and specifically tailored for the selected indication and application, as well as being optimised for clinical efficacy, safety, administration and patient convenience. The products are developed for the prescription and consumer healthcare markets as appropriate. Development and commercialisation strategies are designed to maximise product differentiation and value creation whilst minimising risk.
MED3000 is Futura's topical gel formulation that is a novel treatment for erectile dysfunction ("ED") through a unique evaporative mode of action. Futura has previously conducted an initial Phase 3 study using MED3000 in ED, referred to as "FM57" which enabled Futura to be granted a CE Mark in 2021. A second confirmatory Phase 3 clinical study, "FM71" was also conducted to support Futura's regulatory submission to the FDA with 96 ED patients and endpoints at 24 weeks, demonstrating that MED3000 presents an effective clinically proven treatment for ED with a rapid speed of onset and a favourable benefit versus risk profile ideally suited for an 'Over the Counter' classification.
Eroxon® is CE marked in Europe and UKCA marked in the UK as a clinically proven topical treatment for adult men with erectile dysfunction under the brand Eroxon® with a key claim of "Helps you get an erection within 10 minutes". Eroxon® is the agreed brand name in certain regions such as the EU whereas MED3000 continues to be the internal code name used by the Company and also in reference to countries where regulatory approval or commercial distribution agreements have not yet been achieved. www.eroxon.com
