The at-the-market offering program enables Addex to offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, ADSs having an aggregate offering price of up to $3.3 million through H.C.

H.C. Wainwright & Co. will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the ADSs from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay H.C. Wainwright & Co. a sales commission equal to three percent (3.0%) of the gross sales proceeds of any ADSs sold under the ATM Agreement. The Company also has provided H.C. Wainwright & Co. with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

The foregoing description of the ATM Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ATM Agreement.
