Rediscovery Research™Reusing available science and medicine to
quickly, safely and affordably create patient impact
Rediscovery Research Projects1. Take a single drug, nutriceutical or device
already approved for one disease and create a “repurposed” use in a second disease
2. Combine generic drugs with proprietary drugs to help the proprietary drug work for more patients for a longer period of time
3. Combine a generic drug with a non-drug treatment to improve patient outcomes
4. Add to or alter existing treatment protocols to improve patient outcomes
5. Test observations and other successes from clinical practice, including integrative medicine
7
Why Rediscovery Research
•More affordable and safer research• $500K v $1.5B• 3 years v 15 years
•1000s of repurposing possibilities•Greater success• 1/10 v 1/10,000
•Faster from idea to patient use• Single clinical trial• Off label prescribing
•Treatments safe and easy to take

Rediscovery Research SIB SOLUTION

Why Rediscovery Research SIB•Provides Rediscovery Research with
economic incentives•Often significantly reduces healthcare costs for both patients and payers•Lower payments for government and other sponsored healthcare programs•Lower patient out-of-pocket expense• Improved patient outcomes

Social Finance
Any financial investment method that
intentionally delivers both a
social dividend and an economic return.
11
Type of Social Financing1. Social impact bonds
2. Community investing3. Microfinance4. Social enterprise lending and5. Outcome-based philanthropic
grant making6. Program-related investments7. Venture philanthropy
12
Social Finance Opportunities
•Better health•Lower healthcare costs•Reduced recidivism•Reduction in homelessness• Increase in educational levels•Non-violent resolution of gang disagreements•Less drug use among teenagers
13
Why Social Finance?
1. For-profit or non-profit organizations are not creating enough social return using the capitalism or philanthropy models, and
2. The government is not able or willing to raise the taxpayer funds to create the social impact or has been unable to create the social return through existing programs
14
The Social Impact Bond
A Social Impact Bond (SIB) is an arrangement between one or
more “pay for success” guarantors
and an external organization, called a Social Impact Bonding
Organization (SIBO).
15
The Social Impact Bond
The “pay for success” guarantor specifies a social
outcome/social return it desires and promises to pay the SIBO a pre-agreed sum if the SIBO is able to accomplish the social
outcome/social return.
16
The Social Impact Bond
The SIBO then solicits private investors to provide the
necessary upfront capital to the SIBO so that the SIBO can select
and pay service providers to perform the required services to
achieve the social outcome.
17
The Social Impact Bond
The investors agree to provide this funding in exchange for a
potential share of the government payments, if and when the social
outcome/social return performance targets are met.
18
Social Impact Bond Benefits
•Attract new forms of capital •Gov’t only pays for effective services•Shift $ risks from gov’t to investors• Incentive for service provider to be effective •Opportunity for greater and more vigorous ongoing evaluation • Independent evaluation creates transparency

ROI from Rediscovery Research Cost Savings
Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome -CWR researcher repurposes the drug sirolimus -Alleviates symptoms of fatal disease <60 days-Research cost <$250,000, takes < 3 years-New treatment saves $100K/patient/year-600 patients could be using this off-label-Up to $60M in annual healthcare cost savings
23
Generic vs. Proprietary Example
• Generic Drug Repurposing-Nutriceuticals for Familial Dysautonomia- 6 years of research cost $1.2M- 5 daily oral nutriceutical treatments costing
<$200/month- $60,000 average cost SAVINGS/patient/year
24
• Proprietary Drug Creation-Enzyme Replacement for Gaucher’s Disease- 10+ years of research, much of it funded by the US
government, cost >$100 M- IV admin 2 hrs every 2 weeks costing $300,000/year- $250,000 average cost INCREASE/patient/year
