The Elipse™ Next-Generation Intragastric Balloon

A Weight Loss Device Placed in a Doctor’s Office

Indian Market Opportunity | December 2014


THE ELIPSE™ NEXT-GENERATION INTRAGASTRIC BALLOON

Opportunity Overview

• Allurion Technologies is a privately held, Boston-based medical device


company that has developed the Elipse™, a breakthrough weight loss device
that can be placed in a physician’s office.
• Unlike any other weight loss device, neither placement nor removal of the
Elipse™ requires surgery or endoscopy.
• The Elipse™ reduces stomach volume and slows the rate of food digestion.
After three months it passes from the stomach and exits the body naturally.
• Elipse™ will be positioned in the private-pay market.
• Human clinical trials are ongoing and European “CE Mark” regulatory
approval is expected in mid-2015.
• Allurion Technologies is interested in joining with one or more local
partners to create a stand-alone commercial entity in the Indian market.
• The Indian newco will hold an exclusive, perpetual, non royalty-bearing
license to manufacture and market the Elipse™ in India.
• Funding this entity will enable an accelerate approach to CDSCO with
potential Indian commercial launch targeted for early 2016.

INTRAGASTRIC BALLOON BASICS

• Intragastric balloons (IGBs) are weight loss devices


that have historically been placed and removed
under endoscopic guidance.

• Balloons are smooth, spherical and are typically filled


with 500ml - 700ml of saline.

• IGBs involve no anatomic modification. They create a powerful but


temporary modification of the digestive system.

• Obese patients average 14.7 kg of weight loss


over six months1, 80% of which is achieved
in three months.

• Side effects typically include up to 3 days of


self-limiting nausea and vomiting.

• Endoscopic IGB treatment is widely available


OUS today and is expected in the US in 2015.
