Superdrug first phase of store locations for AxisBiotix™ launch in the UK

6 October 2025 - SkinBioTherapeutics plc (AIM: SBTX), a life science group
focused on skin health, has received a list of participating Superdrug Stores
plc ('Superdrug') for the first phase of the AxisBiotix™ launch.
AxisBiotix™ food supplements are used to alleviate the symptoms of
inflammatory skin conditions.

Superdrug has informed SkinBioTherapeutics of its intention to launch the
first tranche of product in stores  which typically have higher sales of
medicated skincare relative to the rest of the Group. A phased roll-out to the
rest of Superdrug's UK store portfolio is scheduled to commence in Spring
2026.

SkinBioTherapeutics has successfully delivered both products and approved
packaging despite having been set a very short lead time by Superdrug. The
placement of product on shelves is in the hands of the Superdrug commercial
team, but is expected to be imminently.

In June 2025, SkinBioTherapeutics signed an exclusive UK commercial agreement
(https://irs.nbtrader.co.uk/ir/SkinBiotix/newsArticle.php?id=311428254081056341&ST=SBTX)
with Superdrug, one of the UK's leading beauty and health retailers related to
AxisBiotix™. The commercial agreement is on an exclusive basis for two
years.

Stuart Ashman, CEO of SkinBioTherapeutics said:

"The agreement with Superdrug around AxisBiotix™ was SkinBioTherapeutic's
first national high street agreement and a major milestone for the Company. On
behalf of the leadership team, I extend my sincere thanks to the whole
AxisBiotix™ team for their enormous effort in meeting the very tight
deadline set by Superdrug for the manufacture and packaging and delivery of
product for launch, as well as ongoing stock for the next phases of the launch
next year. We are very much looking forward to seeing the product on the
shelves very soon and the reception from customers."
