I. Eniware Overview

!  The Eniware Portable Sterilizer (EPS) meets a critical, growing, global need for sterile instruments for essential surgery

!  Eniware has an exclusive global license to use patents for nitrogen dioxide as a sterilant, and for the sterilization system and devices used in power-independent applications

!  Eniware is currently the only company able to meet this need for low-resource environments

!  Traditional “razor/razor-blade” business model generates consistent positive cash flow

! We believe Sub-Saharan Africa presents a highly compelling market opportunity •  Accelerating and diversified economic growth •  Favorable demographic and urbanization trends •  Improving macroeconomic and political stability •  Steadily increasing percentage of GDP being spent on healthcare

!  Experienced, diverse team with more than 30 combined years of experience in healthcare entrepreneurship, management, and international programs

Page 4: Portable, Power-independent, Affordable Medical Instrument Sterilization

I. Eniware Overview

!  Roughly 25% of the cost inflicted by disease on numerous economies is caused by conditions that can be treated with essential surgery

!  Essential surgery can only be performed safely with properly sterilized instruments – disinfection is not the same as sterilization

!  Effective and reliable sterilization is currently impossible without electricity but can be done with the Eniware Portable Sterilizer (EPS)

!  70% of Sub-Saharan Africa does not have access to electricity – the population is booming and electrification efforts cannot keep up

!  The inability to provide essential surgery to treat many disabilities and prevent death hinders growth of emerging economies 4

V. Why We Start in Sub-Saharan Africa

Accelerating & Diversified Economic Growth

!  Average GDP growth of 6% between 2013 and 2018 making it one of the fastest growing regions in the world1

!  The healthcare market is primed to reach $35 billion by 2016, and will continue to grow as the middle class expands2

Favorable Demographic Trends

!  Sub-Saharan Africa has a population of over 800 million, 40% of whom are under the age of 153

!  Only 30% of this population has access to electricity4

Improved Macroeconomic & Political Stability

!  Average number of serious conflicts in Africa declined significantly from 4.8 per year in 1990s to 2.6 per year in 2000s5

!  Macroeconomic stability improved - inflation fell 64% and fiscal imbalances improved 55% over the last decade1

Page 13: Portable, Power-independent, Affordable Medical Instrument Sterilization

VI. The Business Model and Strategy

!  The Eniware business is built on the traditional “razor/razor blade” model based on one-time purchase of an EPS unit, and recurring revenue from consumables for each sterilization cycle

!  The high number of health centers without electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa (and throughout the developing world) drives a rapid year on year revenue growth

The Business Model Razor/Razor Blade •  Eniware Portable Sterilizer ~$500 •  Consumables ~$5

•  Gas cartridge/ampoule •  Scrubber •  Chemical indicator

Each EPS generates $1500-4500 revenue/year •  Gross margin of 52% after accounting for direct cost of

sales

Page 16: Portable, Power-independent, Affordable Medical Instrument Sterilization

VI. The Business Model and Strategy Eniware Value Creation – Revolutionizing Healthcare Delivery

!  Eniware will use existing traction in East Africa to establish local distribution channels through local partners and international NGOs (MSF, ICRC etc.)

!  Eniware will provide access to its network of partners committed to enabling safe essential surgery in low-resource environments

•  Creates opportunities for training of health workers in sterile procedure and technique

•  Provides ways to remove other barriers to safe surgery without electricity

!  After establishment in East Africa, that experience will be channeled into expansion efforts throughout Africa and ultimately into South-East Asia •  Eniware’s expertise in expanding safe surgical care will be exercised throughout the

developing world 16  

Page 17: Portable, Power-independent, Affordable Medical Instrument Sterilization

VII. Eniware Benefits from Strong Market Drivers

17  

!  Strong global demand for essential surgery technologies that do not require electricity •  Essential surgery is a cost-effective means of improving the health of populations •  Essential surgery capacity within the health system is economically imperative for emerging

economies – “surgery is an integral, indivisible component of any properly functioning health system”1

•  Electrification of Sub-Saharan Africa cannot keep pace with exploding population growth !  Growing incentives and capability for healthcare spending

•  As the middle classes of Sub-Saharan African countries expand, an increasing percentage of GDP will be spent on healthcare (There is approx. 8% of GDP spending gap compared to OECD)

•  In recognition of the fact that improved population health contributes to increased GDP, governments are moving towards universal healthcare coverage

!  Razor/razor-blade business model •  Revenue from EPS units and recurring revenue stream from sale of consumables drives high cash

flow and enterprise value !  Huge global markets

•  Potential for expansion into all of Africa, Latin America, Asia (except for Japan), global militaries, global disaster relief, and the global veterinary markets

•  Total addressable market: >$500 Million
