— Medi-Cal serves more than 15.4 million Californians —

— 7.4% improvement in Phexxi rebate to take effect July 1, 2024 —

SAN DIEGO, March 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercial-stage women's health innovator Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (OTCQB: EVFMD) today announced that it has successfully renegotiated the rebate for Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate), its hormone-free, woman-controlled contraceptive, with Medi-Cal, the California state Medicaid program.

Phexxi is the first and only locally-acting contraceptive gel approved by the FDA. It is applied zero-to-60 minutes before intercourse and works, without hormones, by maintaining the natural vaginal biome with a pH that is naturally inhospitable to sperm.

Medi-Cal is funded by the California Department of Health Care Services, the largest health care purchaser in the state, and serves more than 15.4 million beneficiaries.

The renegotiated rebate improves Evofem's rebate on Medi-Cal prescriptions by 7.4%, while affording price protection to Medi-Cal against future Phexxi WAC increases. The new rebate will take effect July 1, 2024.

The vaginal pH modulator continues to be included on the Medi-Cal Rx Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment Pharmacy Formulary. Medi-Cal beneficiaries may receive one box of 12 single-use Phexxi applicators per dispensing, and up to three boxes in any 75-day period.

Evofem recently entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Aditxt, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADTX). Evofem believes the contemplated transaction represents a compelling opportunity to accelerate its growth trajectory, as a subsidiary of Aditxt, into a multi-product women's health franchise. The companies are working toward close in the second half of 2024.
