For Immediate Release October 23, 2017 – HALIFAX, Nova Scotia –– Appili Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company” or “Appili”), an anti-infective drug development company, announced today it raised $3,062,000 in a private placement financing, bringing the total equity raised since its seed round in March 2016 to $7,477,000. This private placement includes investments from new and current investors including Innovacorp, Nova Scotia’s early stage venture capital organization. Proceeds from the financing will be used to fund operations and the continued growth of the company. Specifically, the additional funding will enable Appili to advance its pipeline of anti-infectives and move its lead antibiotic, a taste-masked treatment for anaerobic infections, into the clinic. “Appili has assembled a team with the proven ability to bring new antibiotics to market, and has made remarkable progress in building a pipeline that addresses major unmet needs in bacterial infections,” said Dr. Lidija Marušić, life sciences investment manager at Innovacorp and member of Appili’s Board of Directors. Innovacorp has participated in all of Appili’s financing rounds. “There is a robust market opportunity for antibiotics that really bring value and the successful closing of this financing round reflects that,” said Kimberly Stephens, CFO of Appili Therapeutics. “We appreciate the confidence investors have in our strategy to build a balanced-risk pipeline of products designed to treat the most serious and drug-resistant infections affecting patients today,” said Kevin Sullivan, CEO of Appili Therapeutics. Appili is dedicated to identifying, acquiring and advancing novel therapeutics for infectious disease. The Company has two anti-infective programs, ATI-1501 and ATI-1503, in its pipeline. ATI-1501 is a taste-masked treatment for anaerobic infections that has been granted orphan drug status by the FDA. Appili plans to take ATI-1501 into clinical trials in 2017. Appili’s second product, ATI-1503, is a novel antibiotic with broad potential to treat deadly Gram-negative infections. These drug-resistant infections have been identified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization as posing the highest threat to human health.
