Entera Bio Announces a Transition in the Chief Financial Officer Position

Jerusalem, Israel – March 7, 2019 – Entera Bio Ltd. (Nasdaq: ENTX), announced today that Mira Rosenzweig, Chief Financial Officer, will be leaving the Company in mid-April 2019 on amicable terms to pursue other professional opportunities closer to her home. Ms. Rosenzweig has confirmed to us that she has no disagreement with the presentation of the Company’s financial statements or accounting policies.

“The company appreciates Mira’s dedication and significant contributions to the progress at Entera over the past several years, including the completion of an IPO on the Nasdaq in July 2018. We wish her all the best in her new position,” said Dr. Phillip Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of Entera Bio.

About Entera Bio Ltd.

Entera Bio is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of orally delivered large molecule therapeutics for use in orphan indications and other areas with significant unmet medical needs. The Company is initially applying its technology to develop an oral formulation of a human parathyroid hormone analog, Oral PTH (1-34), for treatment of hypoparathyroidism and osteoporosis.

Entera has developed a proprietary platform technology that enables oral delivery of biologicals and large molecule drugs, which are typically delivered via injections and or other non-oral pathways. However, oral drug delivery is the easiest method for self-administering medications, offers patients greater dosing flexibility, and has the highest patient acceptance and compliance rates as compared to all other routes of drug administration. The Company employs this technology for its own pipeline products and may enter into licensing agreements with biopharma companies for application of the technology to their proprietary compounds, such as the Amgen strategic research collaboration.
