Comment from Dr. Ulrich Dauer, Chief Executive Officer at Vivoryon Therapeutics: 
"2020 will certainly go down in history as marking the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The global collaboration and 
response to fight the virus provided a glimpse into the future of medical progress and highlighted the importance of 
the biotech industry at large. In an effort to contribute to the continued improvement of global health, the Vivoryon 
team strives to consequently pursue its mission to pioneer precision intervention medicines. 
Our first-in-class, highly specific and potent small molecule inhibitor of glutaminyl cyclase (QC, QPCT), 
varoglutamstat (PQ912), made great progress in 2020. We kicked-off the new year by announcing our research and 
development collaboration with Nordic Bioscience for the clinical development of varoglutamstat (PQ912) for Alzheimer's 
Disease as well as for the development of blood-based biomarkers for the identification of specific patients that may 
benefit most from treatment with varoglutamstat (PQ912). We also entered into a collaboration with Winterlight Labs, a 
company that has developed a proprietary, tablet-based technology to assess cognitive health including memory, 
thinking, and reasoning by analyzing hundreds of language markers from short snippets of speech. This collaboration 
will enable Vivoryon to perform an additional non-invasive, cognitive test on patients which will further enhance the 
full data package yielded from the European Phase 2b clinical trial, VIVIAD. 
 
In mid-2020, we received the International Nonproprietary Name (INN), varoglutamstat, for PQ912 from the World Health 
Organization (WHO) and announced later that year, that the first patient was enrolled in VIVIAD, the Phase 2b, 
randomized and multi-center clinical study in Europe. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of our lead 
candidate, varoglutamstat, in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. Prof. Dr. Scheltens from the VU Amsterdam will act as 
principal investigator for VIVIAD. 
 
Based on our clinical development efforts and the approval of the IND application for varoglutamstat, we are now able 
to initiate our Phase 2 clinical trial program in the US as planned. Varoglutamstat is a first-in-class inhibitor of 
the enzyme glutaminyl cyclase that addresses a very distinct disease pathway and provides a mode of action affecting 
multiple pathology hallmarks at once in contrast to many other Alzheimer's Disease drug candidates in development. 
 
From a research and development perspective, we extended our portfolio during the first half of the year by acquiring 
patents from the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology (IZI) for the further development of meprin 
protease inhibitors. These small molecules have the potential to treat a range of indications including acute and 
chronic kidney disease and multiple organ fibrosis in addition to targeting the symptoms of these disorders. 
 
In November 2020, Vivoryon was successfully converted into a Naamloze Vennootschap (N.V.) under Dutch law. This 
milestone reflects Vivoryon's continued international focus. We are convinced that this corporate transformation will 
be a gateway to new international investors and may also provide access to additional capital markets. We look forward 
to the continued implementation our growth strategy and to the additional opportunities gained by this corporate 
conversion. 
 
In summary, 2020 was a pivotal year for Vivoryon. I would therefore like to extend our sincere thanks to our 
shareholders for all their support throughout our transformation as well as to the whole Vivoryon team. We look forward 
to additional opportunities that await us in 2021 and believe that we have the resources and clear objectives in place 
to positively impact the lives of patients battling difficult-to-treat diseases." 
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 2020 
Research and development expenses increased to EUR 13,210 thousand (2019: EUR 4,789 thousand). This increase is 
primarily attributable to a EUR 7,851 thousand increase in CRO and CMO costs related to VIVIAD in connection with the 
clinical trial Phase 2b in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. 
General and administrative expenses decreased to EUR 2,807 thousand (2019: EUR 3,062 thousand) mainly due to reduced 
legal and consulting fees. Legal and consulting fees decreased in 2020 compared to 2019, because of higher costs in 
connection with the capital increase in 2019. 
 
Net loss for the year 2020 was EUR 16,510 thousand or EUR 0.83 per common share, compared to EUR 7,823 thousand or EUR 
0.62 per common share for the year 2019. 
On December 31, 2020, the Company's total cash and cash equivalents were EUR 26,306 (2019: 41,524 EUR thousand). 
Cash Flow used in operating activities increased to EUR 14,012 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2020, from EUR 
11,608 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2019, mainly due to the increase of research and development 
expenditures in connection with the VIVIAD study. 
Additional information regarding these results and other relevant information is included in the notes to the financial 
statements as of December 31, 2020 which is included in Vivoryon's Annual Report as filed with the Dutch Authority for 
the Financial Markets (AFM). 
 
OUTLOOK 
The mid-term focus of Vivoryon's business activities can be summarized as follows: 
  . Initiate Phase 2a/b clinical study program for Varoglutamstat (PQ912) in the US 
  . Continue the development of QPCTL inhibitors in oncology 
  . Conclude one or more industrial partnerships 
  . Further scientific analysis of potential indications for the use of QC inhibitors 
  . Further strengthening Vivoryon's financial resources 
  . As a result of the continuing costs being incurred for development activities and the running Phase 2b study in 
    Europe as well as the start of the Phase 2a/b study in the US, which are not yet off-set by any sales, the Company 
    also projects a net loss for the financial year 2021 which, based on the current budget, is expected to be higher 
    than that of 2020 
  . Due to its business model, Vivoryon is dependent upon additional capital to implement its development strategy 
    until such time at which an industrial partnership is concluded and potentially beyond that. This can be provided 
    in the form of equity on the basis of a capital increase or via alternative financing forms such as loans, 
    convertible bonds, option bonds, etc. All appropriate provisions (e.g., approving sufficient authorized and 
    conditional capital, eliminating pre-emptive rights) have been approved at the annual shareholders' meeting to 
    provide the Company with sufficient flexibility to react to potential options
