Boey® is the first and only rapid-onset and short-duration botulinum neurotoxin serotype E approved in Europe that adult patients can try for the temporary improvement of glabellar lines¹ Results may be seen as early as eight hours after treatment and typically wear off within approximately two to three weeks Boey® offers a differentiated treatment option for many people who are curious about facial injectables² NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), announced the European Commission has approved Boey® (trenibotulinumtoxinE) in Europe, for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows seen at maximum frown (glabellar lines) in adult patients, when these have an important psychological impact.1 Following completion of the centralized procedure, the European Commission decision applies across all 30 European Economic Area (EEA) countries. Boey® also received approval in Canada in June of this year. Boey® is the first and only rapid-onset and short-duration botulinum neurotoxin serotype E approved in Europe. In clinical studies, onset of effect was observed as early as eight hours after treatment and effects lasted two to three weeks. "The EU approval of Boey® marks an important step forward for our development program and builds on the momentum we've established with Health Canada's approval earlier this year," said Darin Messina, Ph.D., senior vice president, aesthetics research & development, AbbVie. "This milestone reflects the scientific rigor behind Boey® and reinforces our commitment to advancing innovative options as we work to bring this first-of-its-kind treatment to healthcare professionals and consumers around the world." As interest in aesthetic treatments continues to grow, patients are increasingly seeking treatment options that align with their individual goals and preferences. An Allergan Aesthetics survey found that 80% of people are open to learning about new treatments to achieve their desired results, while 79% wish they could temporarily preview the outcome of an aesthetic treatment.3,* Despite this growing interest, many patients remain hesitant to take the next step due to uncertainty around treatment outcomes and concerns about committing to long-lasting results. Boey® was developed for patients considering treatment, offering another option to experience it before making a longer-term commitment. Developed by the makers of BOTOX Cosmetic®, known as VISTABEL® or Vistabex® in the EU, Boey® offers a new option for suitable patients considering facial injectables. BOTOX Cosmetic® is the only neurotoxin clinically tested for safety following treatment with Boey®.1 Allergan Aesthetics is preparing to launch Boey® across Europe and will support healthcare professionals through education and training on the appropriate use of Boey®. Allergan Aesthetics develops, manufactures and markets a portfolio of leading aesthetics brands and products. Allergan Aesthetics is well positioned to lead the future of injectable aesthetics, with dedicated research and development focused on driving innovation to meet the evolving needs of patients and healthcare professionals worldwide. BOTOX ® COSMETIC US APPROVED USES AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow's feet lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck (platysma bands) in adults. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BOTOX ® Cosmetic may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic: Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, due to weakening of associated muscles, which can be severe and result in loss of life. You are at the highest risk if these problems are preexisting before injection. Swallowing problems may last for several months. Spread of toxin effects. The effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas away from the injection site and cause serious symptoms, including loss of strength and all-over muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing. BOTOX ® Cosmetic dosing units are not the same as, or comparable to, any other botulinum toxin product. There has not been a confirmed serious case of spread of toxin effect when BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used at the recommended dose to treat frown lines, crow's feet lines, forehead lines, and/or platysma bands. BOTOX® Cosmetic may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, vision problems, or dizziness within hours to weeks of receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. Serious and/or immediate allergic reactions have been reported, including itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Get medical help right away if you are wheezing or have asthma symptoms, or if you become dizzy or fain. Do not receive BOTOX® Cosmetic if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in BOTOX® Cosmetic (see Medication Guide for ingredients); had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc (rimabotulinumtoxinB), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs), Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm), or Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg); or have a skin infection at the planned injection site. This list may not include all available botulinum toxin products. Tell your doctor about all your muscle or nerve conditions, such as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, as you may be at increased risk of serious side effects, including difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing, from standard doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including surgery or plans to have surgery on your face, trouble raising your eyebrows, drooping eyelids, any other abnormal facial change, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX® Cosmetic can harm your unborn baby), or are breastfeeding or plan to (it is not known if BOTOX® Cosmetic passes into breast milk). Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using BOTOX® Cosmetic with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received BOTOX ® Cosmetic in the past. Tell your doctor if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months; have received injections of botulinum toxin such as Myobloc, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, or Letybo in the past (tell your doctor exactly which product you received); have recently received an antibiotic by injection; take muscle relaxants; take an allergy or cold medicine; take a sleep medicine; or take aspirin-like products or blood thinners.

It has a rapid uptake and translocation into neuronal cells, with a short half-life of the type E light chain, giving it a rapid onset of action and a short duration of effect when treating glabellar lines. About Boey ® Clinical Trials The approval of Boey® is supported by data from two randomised, multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of Boey® in adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines (M21-500 and M21-508) associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity, who were psychologically impacted by their glabellar lines. The studies enrolled 725 patients treated with Boey® 700 U total dose or placebo. The co-primary efficacy measure (treatment effect) was defined as the percentage of subjects achieving a ≥2-grade improvement from baseline in glabellar line severity at maximum frown based separately on investigator and subject assessments using the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale (FWS) (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe) at Day 7. Efficacy was assessed in the ITT population with baseline FLO-11 Total Transformed Score of ≤50. Secondary efficacy endpoints were measured by FLSQ, a scale developed by Allergan Aesthetics, and included satisfaction with achieving a natural look (Item 4) and overall satisfaction with treatment effect (Item 5). The onset of effect for patients treated with Boey® appeared as early as 8 hours after injection in both pivotal studies. The peak effect was seen at Day 7 in both studies. Glabellar lines returned to baseline severity in approximately 2 to 3 weeks after administration. The adverse drug reactions associated with Boey® were eyelid ptosis, brow ptosis, and Mephisto sign (lateral elevation of eyebrow). These reactions were reported in 0.17%, 0.13%, and 0.04%, respectively, in subjects receiving Boey® 700 units.1 About Glabellar Lines Glabellar lines are the vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows, commonly known as frown lines. In some adults, these lines can contribute to an appearance that is perceived as tired, angry or worried and may have an important psychological impact.

Importantly, we have significantly strengthened our late-stage pipeline in the first half, with positive Phase III lifecycle management readouts for Dysport in episodic and chronic migraine and Iqirvo in primary biliary cholangitis, alongside the completed acquisition of Memo Therapeutics AG and the proposed acquisition of Kartos Therapeutics. These transactions add two innovative clinical assets—navtemadlin and potravitug—with the potential to address significant unmet needs and create long-term value. Our expanding pipeline and focused business development strategy further contribute to Ipsen’s sustainable growth outlook and our ability to bring meaningful innovation to patients worldwide.” Full-year 2026 guidance Based on the strong performance in the first half, Ipsen upgrades its financial guidance for 2026: ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(131); }); Total sales growth greater than 20.0%, at constant currency. Based on the average level of exchange rates in June 2026, an adverse effect on total sales of around 1% of currencies is expected Core operating margin greater than 37.0% of total sales, which includes additional R&D expenses from anticipated early and mid-stage external innovation opportunities and assumes the dilutive impact of the acquisitions of Memo Therapeutics AG and Kartos Therapeutics Guidance 4 on total sales and core operating margin in 2026 is assuming accelerated sales growth of the portfolio excluding Somatuline and the continued growth of Somatuline sales despite potential entry of generic lanreotide. Pipeline progress since Q1 2026 Ipsen presented in May late-breaking Phase II data in Glabellar Lines for corabotase, its first-in-class recombinant neuroinhibitor (RNI™), demonstrating a rapid onset of action, a statistically superior peak effect versus placebo at Week 4 and a clinically significant sustained duration of effect, outperforming both placebo and Dysport at Week 24. Corabotase has been recognized by the WHO (World Health Organization) and USAN (United States Adopted Name) as a novel botase molecule. Ipsen announced positive topline Phase III results from the BEOND migraine program in July, with Dysport meeting the primary endpoint in both the episodic, E-BEOND and chronic, C-BEOND trials by demonstrating statistically significant reductions in monthly migraine days versus placebo. These results make Dysport the first botulinum toxin to show efficacy in Phase III trials across both episodic and chronic migraine prevention. Dysport was well tolerated, with a safety pro with its established use and no new safety signals identified. Ipsen intends to submit to regulatory authorities and detailed results will be presented at a future scientific congress. Ipsen announced positive topline results from the Phase IIIb ELSPIRE study of Iqirvo in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in July. The study met its primary endpoint, with 85% of patients receiving Iqirvo achieving alkaline phosphatase (ALP) normalization at Week 52 versus 23% on placebo (p=<0.0001), while maintaining a safety pro with previous studies and identifying no new safety signals. ELSPIRE evaluated patients with ALP levels of 1-1.67x ULN, and supports the potential to significantly expand the addressable population for Iqirvo. Ipsen plans to submit the data to regulatory authorities and present these data at an upcoming scientific congress. Ipsen announced in July that the Phase III BOLD trial evaluating Bylvay ® (odevixibat) versus placebo in patients with biliary atresia who had already undergone a Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy did not meet its primary endpoint of improved native liver survival. Topline safety data remained consistent with odevixibat's well-established pro its approved indications, with no new signals identified. External innovation Ipsen recently announced its agreement to acquire Kartos Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, centered on navtemadlin, a Phase III oral MDM2 inhibitor for myelofibrosis designed to restore p53 tumor-suppressor activity in patients with a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib. Top-line data from the registrational POIESIS trial are expected in 2027. Under the terms of the agreement, Kartos shareholders will receive $450m upfront and may be eligible for up to $1.3bn in milestone payments, with closing anticipated by the end of Q3 2026, subject to customary conditions. Ipsen acquired Memo Therapeutics AG in July, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on potravitug, a Phase II antibody targeting BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), a frequent cause of nephropathy, graft loss and transplant failure in kidney transplant recipients. Potravitug received FDA Fast Track designation in 2023 and EU Orphan Drug designation in 2025. Under the terms of the agreement, Memo Therapeutics AG shareholders received €200m upfront, with the potential for total consideration exceeding €700m through development, regulatory and sales milestones.

Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those anticipated herein. All of the above risks could affect Ipsen’s future ability to achieve its financial targets, which were set assuming reasonable macroeconomic conditions based on the information available today. Use of the words ‘believes’, ‘anticipates’ and ‘expects’ and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including Ipsen’s expectations regarding future events, including regulatory filings and determinations. Moreover, the targets described in this document were prepared without taking into account external-growth assumptions and potential future acquisitions, which may alter these parameters. These objectives are based on data and assumptions regarded as reasonable by Ipsen. These targets depend on conditions or facts likely to happen in the future, and not exclusively on historical data. Actual results may depart significantly from these targets given the occurrence of certain risks and uncertainties, notably the fact that a promising medicine in early development phase or clinical trial may end up never being launched on the market or reaching its commercial targets, notably for regulatory or competition reasons. Ipsen must face or might face competition from generic medicine that might translate into a loss of market share. Furthermore, the research and development process involves several stages each of which involves the substantial risk that Ipsen may fail to achieve its objectives and be forced to abandon its efforts with regards to a medicine in which it has invested significant sums. Therefore, Ipsen cannot be certain that favorable results obtained during preclinical trials will be confirmed subsequently during clinical trials, or that the results of clinical trials will be sufficient to demonstrate the safe and effective nature of the medicine concerned. There can be no guarantees a medicine will receive the necessary regulatory approvals or that the medicine will prove to be commercially successful. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to, general industry conditions and competition; general economic factors, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation and healthcare legislation and risks arising from unexpected regulatory or political changes such as changes in tax regulation and regulations on trade and tariffs, such as protectionist measures, especially in the United States; global trends toward healthcare cost containment; technological advances, new medicine and patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new-medicine development, including obtaining regulatory approval; Ipsen’s ability to accurately predict future market conditions; manufacturing difficulties or delays; financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk; dependence on the effectiveness of Ipsen’s patents and other protections for innovative medicines; and the exposure to litigation, including patent litigation, and/or regulatory actions. Ipsen also depends on third parties to develop and market some of its medicines which could potentially generate substantial royalties; these partners could behave in such ways which could cause damage to Ipsen’s activities and financial results. Ipsen cannot be certain that its partners will fulfil their obligations. It might be unable to obtain any benefit from those agreements. A default by any of Ipsen’s partners could generate lower revenues than expected. Such situations could have a negative impact on Ipsen’s business, financial position or performance. Ipsen expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, targets or estimates contained in this press release to reflect any change in events, conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, unless so required by applicable law. Ipsen’s business is subject to the risk factors outlined in its registration documents filed with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers.
