2 Safe Harbor Statement This presentation contains certain “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the U . S . Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 . Forward - looking statements can be identified by words such as : “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “would,” “positioned,” “future,” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters . Forward - looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance . Instead, they are based only on BiomX management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions . For example, when we discuss future potential clinical trials, including their design, objectives, costs, endpoints, potential benefits and timing, the potential outcomes of discussions that we may have with the U . S . Food and Drug Administration and foreign regulatory agencies, potential commercial opportunities, our expected cash runway, our financial needs to fund future clinical trials and our ability to protect our intellectual property assets in the future we are making forward - looking statements . In addition, past and current pre - clinical and clinical results, as well as compassionate use, are not indicative and do not guarantee future success of BiomX clinical trials . Further, we continue to analyze the results of the BX 004 Phase 1 b/ 2 a Part 2 clinical trial results and upon further analysis we may come to conclusions that are different that the ones that are outlined in this presentation . Because forward - looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control . Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated in the forward - looking statements . Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward - looking statements .

3 Unmet need in cystic fibrosis (‘CF’) • Improved treatment has shifted CF from being a disease of childhood to a disease of adulthood. As patients age, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) lung infections become the leading cause of morbidity and mortality • Prolonged antibiotic treatments lead to significant resistance, creating a large unmet need - an estimated 17,000 CF patients in the US and Western Europe with chronic PsA infections 1 BX004 – our lead program • BX004, our proprietary phage cocktail, has the potential to treat CF patients with chronic resistant PsA lung infections, providing a significant potential commercial opportunity of > $1 billion 2 • In a Phase 1b/2a, BX004 showed clinically meaningful improvement in pulmonary function vs. placebo, in relative FEV1 3 improvement (5.67% at Day 17, 1 week after EOT 3 ) and PRO 3 in patients with reduced lung function 4 • In the BX004 arm, 3 out of 21 (14.3%) patients converted to sputum culture negative for PsA after 10 days of treatment compared to 0 out of 10 (0%) in the placebo arm 5 • Plans to advance the BX004 program to a larger, pivotal Phase 2b/3 study 6 Our Bolt phage technology • Our proprietary BOLT phage technology platform - which is based on advanced machine learning – was used to design the BX004 phage cocktail that in vitro overcomes antibiotic resistance and biofilms • Publicly traded (NYSEAmerican:PHGE) • $23.4 million cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023. Expected cash runway into the third quarter of 2024 • Backed by prominent biotech investors such as Orbimed, Johnson & Johnson and the CF Foundation Financing and investors 1. 2. 3.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS The Unmet Need
6 CF is an inherited disease caused by a mutation on the CFTR protein • The CFTR protein is present on epithelial cells throughout the body. It is a chloride ion channel involved in maintaining water and ion homeostasis on cell surfaces • The disease causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs with > 80% of deaths from respiratory failure • 105K individuals are estimated to live with CF worldwide, with 33k in the US alone ■ Light blue – periciliary layer ■ Green – mucus layer In CF lungs, mutations cause thick and sticky mucus that provides environment for bacteria to infect and propagate. In the less hydrated periciliary layer, the cilia are flattened and the ability to clear bacterial infection reduced. CF Foundation estimates across 94 countries ( https://www.cff.org/intro - cf/about - cystic - fibrosis ) Plackett, Nature 2020 Gibson et al., 2003; Stuart et al., 2010 Normal (left) and abnormal CFTR proteins (right)

8 PsA forms biofilm patches in the lungs 2 PsA colonization associated with lower FEV1 at all ages 1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( PsA ) bacteria are associated with decreased lung function (FEV1) and damaged lung epithelium Age FEV1 PsA bacteria and biofilm lead to persistent inflammation causing tissue damage and eventually necrosis of lung tissue 1. 2.

10 Phases of P. aeruginosa infection in CF 2 Antibiotics Antibiotics Antibiotics Antibiotics Antibiotics Initial Intermittent Chronic Clonal selection Biofilm formation Genotype/phenotypic adaptation Infancy Childhood Adolescence / Adulthood Limit of detection P. aeruginosa density in sputum Chronic PsA infections have become a persistent problem due to antibiotic resistance driving morbidity and mortality in CF • Chronic pulmonary infections and the resulting robust but ineffective inflammatory response, culminating in respiratory failure, are the primary causes of death in CF patients • After prolonged and repeated antibiotic courses, increased resistance to antibiotics has lowered efficacy, creating a large unmet need for CF patients suffering from chronic PsA - Estimated at 17,000 patients in the US and Western Europe 1 Lack of antibiotic efficacy driven by: 1. PsA strains with multidrug resistance (MDR) 2. Formation of biofilm => making infection harder to treat 1. CFF Annual Data Report 2019, ECFS patient registry report, 2020 2. Nicole M.

Intro To PHAGE
13 Each phage binds only to specific bacterial strains 1. SPECIFIC Phage: Nature’s precision tool to target bacteria Kortright et al. (2019), Cell Host & Microbe Lysin proteins burst bacterial cell wall from within 2. KILLING MECHANISM ORTHOGONAL TO ANTIBIOTICS Phage components multiply and assemble within bacterial cell 4. AMPLIFY 100s of compassionate use cases with no significant side effects to date 5. SAFETY PROFILE Phage can breakdown biofilm (a polysaccharide mesh secreted by bacteria) 3. BREAKDOWN BIOFILM
14 Key challenges in developing phage therapies • Host range - Narrow specificity to a subset of bacterial strains • Resistance - Bacterial defense systems (e.g. CRISPR) • CMC – Manufacturing (e.g. purity, stability) And many other considerations • Phage titer • Biofilm breakdown • Absence of toxic genes • Other Phagoburn study The Lancet, inf..Dis.2019 Jan;19(1):35 - 45.doi: 10.1016/S1473 - 3099(18)30482 - 1.

Predefined group with Baseline FEV1<70% In patients that had quantitative CFU levels at study baseline • Study drug was well - tolerated, no related SAE 1 s or related APE 1 s to study drug were observed • BX004 showed clinically meaningful improvement in pulmonary function vs. placebo: Relative FEV1 2 improvement (5.67%) and CF Questionnaire - Revised respiratory 2 (8.87 points) at Day 17 (1 week after EOT 2 ) in subgroup of patients with reduced lung function 3 • In the BX004 arm, 3 out of 21 (14.3%) patients converted to sputum culture negative for P. aeruginosa after 10 days of treatment compared to 0 out of 10 (0%) in the placebo arm 4 • In full population, BX004 vs. placebo P. aeruginosa levels were more variable. In a prespecified subgroup of patients on SOC 2 inhaled antibiotics on continuous regimen, BX004 vs. placebo showed bacterial reduction of 2.8 log 10 CFU/g at EOT 2 , exceeding Part 1 results • Alternating/cycling background antibiotic regimen likely associated with fluctuations in P. aeruginosa levels potentially confounding the ability to observe a P. aeruginosa reduction in this subgroup • During the study period, based on current available data, no evidence of treatment - related phage resistance was observed in patients treated with BX004 compared to placebo • Plans to advance the BX004 program to a larger, pivotal Phase 2b/3 trial, subject to regulatory feedback and availability of sufficient funding We believe this better - than - expected clinical effect in a short treatment duration de - risks planned pivotal P2b/3
