SYDNEY Australia, 1 July 2026: Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: RCE, FSE: R9Q) (the
Company), the Company developing a new class of Synthetic Anti-infectives, is pleased to
announce receipt of an AUD $3,667,427 income tax refund from the Australian Taxation
Office (ATO) for the financial year ending 30 June 2025.
The refund is comprised of the Company’s overseas R&D’s expenditure of AUD $3,571,600
and an additional AUD $95,826 in interest, paid by the ATO in respect of the FY2025 period.
The Company expects the receipt of further non-dilutive funds and capital raise

milestones. Furthermore, the Company is looking to receive an R&D Tax Incentive rebate
from the ATO for the financial year ending 30 June 2026 in the amount of AUD ~$7.5 million.

About Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd
Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: RCE, FSE: R9Q) is developing a New Class of Synthetic Anti-
Infectives designed to address the urgent global health problems of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
Recce’s anti-infective pipeline includes three patented, broad-spectrum, synthetic polymer anti-
infectives: RECCE® 327 (R327) as an intravenous and topical therapy that is being developed for the
treatment of serious and potentially life-threatening infections due to Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacteria, including their superbug forms; RECCE® 435 (R435) as an orally administered therapy for
bacterial infections; and RECCE® 529 (R529) for viral infections. Through their multi-layered
mechanisms of action, Recce’s anti-infectives have the potential to overcome the processes utilised
by bacteria and viruses to overcome resistance – a current challenge facing existing antibiotics.
The World Health Organization (WHO) added R327, R435, and R529 to its list of antibacterial products
in clinical development for priority pathogens, recognising Recce’s efforts to combat antimicrobial
resistance. The FDA granted R327 Qualified Infectious Disease Product designation under the
Generating Antibiotic Initiatives Now (GAIN) Act, providing Fast Track Designation and 10 years of
market exclusivity post approval. R327 is also included on The Pew Charitable Trusts’ Global New
Antibiotics in Development Pipeline as the sole synthetic polymer and sepsis drug candidate in
development.
Recce wholly owns its automated manufacturing, supporting current clinical trials. Recce’s anti-
infective pipeline aims to address synergistic, unmet medical needs by leveraging its unique
technologies.
