“Our organization has been working on many fronts to advance our product candidates and raise awareness of the profound importance of developing totally new treatment modalities with the potential for superior outcomes compared to current antibiotics alone for patients with antibiotic-resistant, life-threatening infections. And we have made significant progress already – from exebacase, our lead lysin candidate, reporting demonstrably higher clinical responder rates in MRSA patients in a Phase 2 study, to being awarded over $16 million of new, non-dilutive grant funding since the beginning of the year. DLAs are now the first non-antibiotic anti-infectives to reach late stage clinical development,” said Roger J. Pomerantz, MD, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of ContraFect. “We have fully prepared and submitted all necessary materials and documents in anticipation of our upcoming meeting with the FDA to discuss our proposed Phase 3 clinical trial for exebacase. We look forward to sharing greater detail around our plans in the coming months.”

About ContraFect
ContraFect is a biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing differentiated biologic therapies for life-threatening, drug-resistant infectious diseases, particularly those treated in hospital settings. An estimated 700,000 deaths worldwide each year are attributed to antimicrobial-resistant infections. We intend to address life threatening infections using our therapeutic product candidates from our platform of direct lytic agents (DLAs), which include lysins and amurin peptides. Lysins are a new therapeutic class of DLAs which are recombinantly produced, antimicrobial proteins with a novel mechanism of action associated with the rapid killing of target bacteria, eradication of biofilms and synergy with conventional antibiotics. We believe that the properties of our lysins will make them suitable for targeting antibiotic-resistant organisms, such as Staph aureus and P. aeruginosa, which can cause serious infections such as bacteremia, pneumonia and osteomyelitis. We have completed a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of Staph aureus bacteremia, including endocarditis with our lead lysin candidate, exebacase (CF-301), which is the first lysin to enter clinical studies in the U.S.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains, and our officers and representatives may make from time to time, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “projects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “potential,” “promise” or similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements in this release include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s ability to discover and develop DLAs comprised of lysins and amurins for life-threatening, antibiotic resistant infections, whether those DLAs are a new treatment modality and whether they have the potential for superior outcomes compared to current antibiotics alone, whether the Company is making significant progress, whether exebacase demonstrated higher clinical responder rates in MRSA patients in a Phase 2 study, statements made regarding grant funding, whether DLAs are the first non-antibiotic anti-infective to reach late stage clinical development, whether the Company has fully prepared and submitted all necessary materials and documents to the FDA, whether the Company will share greater detail about its plans in the coming months, whether the Company can advance CF-296 through IND-enabling studies, whether CF-296 may be suitable for development as a novel therapy for bone and joint infections caused by Staph aureus, statements made regarding data presented, publications, the Company’s balance sheets, statements of operations and financial results, the Company’s ability to address life threatening infections using its therapeutic product candidates from its DLA platform , whether lysins are a new therapeutic class of DLAs which are recombinantly produced, antimicrobial proteins with a novel mechanism of action associated with the rapid killing of target bacteria, eradication of biofilms and synergy with conventional antibiotics, and whether the properties of the Company’s lysins will make them suitable for targeting antibiotic-resistant organisms, such as Staph aureus and P. aeruginosa. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on ContraFect’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans, strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond ContraFect’s control, including those detailed in ContraFect's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others, our ability to develop treatments for drug-resistant infectious diseases. Any forward-looking statement made by ContraFect in this press release is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by applicable law, ContraFect expressly disclaims any obligations to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
