Hi Boris
Currently The Female Health division of VERU supplies approximately 50 million Female Condoms worldwide. BMGF has
never funded the FC2 Female condom. I don't know why this is the case.
The FC2 female condom is the most demanded and utilized female condom worldwide. It is supplied throughout Africa via
UNFPA and bought directly by South Africa.
Funding by UNFPA has dramatically decreased and we are unable to supply certain countries that have requested the female
condom.
For example, the following countries have requested the FC2 female condom but we are unable to supply:
Uganda : 3 million units
Ghana: 1 million units
Botswana: 1 million units
Tunesia: 1 million units
Sierra Leone: 500,000 units
Bolivia: 500,000 units
Tanzania: 1 million units
Haiti: 500,000 units
Ethiopia: 1 million units
Congo DR: 2 million units
Boris, can you introduce me to the right person at BMGF to see if we can get grants to provide FC2 female condoms to all
women who request them in Africa.
Also attached is more information regarding the FC2 female condom.
Would like to continue the conversation.
Sincerely,
Harry

Thank you Harry!
Again — great meeting you. I am still laughing re inherited STD.
Finally I had chance to read your slide deck. VERU is indeed very interesting company — congrats!
You have an interesting mix of Urology specialty drugs (which I see as a low risk) and Prostate cancer drugs.
Unfortunately my fund (https://www.biomaticscapital.comi) is only focused (and restricted to investing) on private
companies.
Mid-end of the next year I am going to fundraise a crossover fund which would allow me to invest in both private and
publicly listed companies; nevertheless, I am now unable to invest in companies such as VERU — despite how interesting
they might be.
I looked at a female condom. I think that PATH supported a number of related projects.
https://www.path.org/articles/seven-secrets-of-the-female-condom/
As you might know BMGF is the main donor to PATH — this is why I mentioned it.
Also BMGF founded several smaller grants (GCE) re female condoms https://www.gatesfoundation.org/Media-
Center/Press-Releases/2014/06/GCE-Round-12
In addition, there were grants to Imperial College in London, HealthRock etc.
All of these are relatively old grants that ended. My guess is that all female condom more mature projects transitioned to
PATH.
Also I see that PSI has been funding marketing and delivery https://www.psi.org/2018/03/fresh-start-female-condom-
marketing(
Please let me know if there is anything else I can be of help to you.
Hope to see you soon in NYC
Best
Boris

Jeffrey thanks for introducing me to Boris.
Boris, great meeting you as well.
Attached is the most recent deck for VERU (NASDAQ: VERU) www.verupharma.com .
In addition please look at We merged with The Female Health Company which sells the FC2
Female Condom to the public sector in Africa and Brazil via UNFPA and USAID. We just recently introduced this condom
into the US market mainly via telemedicine.
Would love to meet and discuss further.
Sincerely,
Harry
