Strategic Report

Chair's Statement

Dear Shareholder,

In my first

12 months as Chair, I have been impressed with the

significant

progress made at Redx, as we build on our R&D capabilities

and our clinical pipeline matures. Both of our lead assets, RXC004 and RXC007, are now in Phase 2 clinical trials and our discovery engine has continued to fuel our preclinical pipeline, with the nomination

of RXC008 as a development candidate, and our discoidin domain receptor (DDR) programme moving into lead optimisation.

During the period, despite challenging market conditions, we were also successful in raising significant funds to ensure we can continue to execute on our development plans for our clinical and preclinical programmes.

Our ambition is to create world-leading medicines that will transform patients' lives. By leveraging our world-class medicinal chemistry and translation science expertise, we can create best-in-class or first-in-class treatments for unmet medical needs and beyond our current clinical portfolio we have the ambitious target of submitting three wholly-owned INDs by 2025. 2022 was a year of significant progress towards these goals, with the following notable achievements:

  • RXC004 commenced Phase 2 programme: RXC004, a Porcupine inhibitor, is being developed as a targeted therapy for Wnt-liganddependent cancers, both as monotherapy and in combination with immunotherapies.
  • RXC007 Phase 2 programme initiated: RXC007,
    a selective ROCK2 inhibitor, is being developed for interstitial lung diseases (ILD) including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) a life-threatening orphan disease with poor prognosis.
  • Investment in our Redx discovery engine: Our world- class discovery engine sits at the core of everything we do. We nominated our next wholly-owneddevelopment candidate, RXC008, a Gastro-Intestinal (GI)-targetedROCK inhibitor for the treatment of fibrostenotic Crohn's disease and our DDR inhibitor programme entered lead optimisation.

Invus, we raised £34.3 million (gross). Additionally, due to the significant progress made with our ongoing partnerships and collaborations, we earned $24 million (£18.1 million) of non-dilutive milestone payments. These new funds in addition to pre-existing cash will support the Company through the next stage of significant pipeline progression and provides a cash runway into 2024.

During the last 12 months we have continued to deliver against our strategy. Our ability to progress our in-house pipeline, delivering potential much-needed new treatment options for patients, will also ultimately drive long-term shareholder value.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our executive team led by Chief Executive, Lisa Anson, who have continued to successfully guide the Company over the last 12 months, and all of our employees who, with their dedication and hard work, have ensured we have progressed our business towards its goals. We would also like to thank our shareholders, business partners and suppliers for their ongoing support. Finally, I would like to thank my fellow Redx Board members for providing their invaluable insights and expertise to the executive team.

As I come to the end of my first calendar year as Chair of Redx, I am proud of our achievements. Our progress in the last 12 months has offered a step-change in the development of Redx as a clinical- stage biotech, and we look forward towards another exciting year ahead.

Despite the challenges of the equity markets, in June 2022

we were successful in securing additional financing to
