Clinical:

• Completed Enrollment in Phase 3 Cervical Dystonia Trial and Phase 2 Plantar Fasciitis Trial. In November, Revance announced the completion of enrollment of more than 300 patients in the company's ASPEN-1 Phase 3 clinical trial for DAXI for the treatment of cervical dystonia. Topline data from this Phase 3 trial is expected in the second half of 2020. In December, Revance enrolled the last of 155 subjects in its Phase 2 placebo-controlled clinical trial of DAXI for the management of plantar fasciitis. The company expects to report topline results from this Phase 2 trial in the second half of 2020.

• Initiated New Phase 2 Trial for Treatment of the Upper Facial Lines. In December, Revance initiated a new open-label Phase 2 trial of DAXI for treatment of upper facial lines– glabellar (frown), lateral canthal (crow's feet), and forehead lines combined. This trial is being conducted to assess the safety and efficacy, including potential dosing and injection patterns of DAXI, covering the upper face. The company expects completion of enrollment in the first quarter, with topline results in fourth quarter of 2020.

• Announced Publication and Presentations of SAKURA Program Results. In December, Revance announced publication in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) of the pooled data from two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies (SAKURA 1 and SAKURA 2) evaluating DAXI for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines. In October, Revance published results from the Phase 3 studies, SAKURA 1 and SAKURA 2, in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS), the peer reviewed Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Also, in October, the company made three oral presentations on DAXI for glabellar lines at the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) 2019 Annual Meeting, in Chicago.

Financial:

• Closed Public Offering of Common Stock– In January, Revance closed its underwritten public offering of 7,475,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $17.00 per share, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 975,000 shares. The gross proceeds to the company from the offering, before deducting the underwriters' discounts, commissions and other estimated offering expense payable by Revance, were approximately $127.1 million.

• Closed Private Offering of Convertible Senior Notes – In February, Revance closed its offering of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2027 in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Following this financing and the close of the stock offering in January, as of February 14, Revance had $533.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on a preliminary basis.

Corporate:

• Enhanced Leadership Team. During and subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, Revance strengthened its executive team through a number of key hires and promotions. These include: the appointment of Mark Foley as President and Chief Executive Officer; the promotion of Dustin Sjuts to Chief Commercial Officer, Aesthetics & Therapeutics; the promotion of Abhay Joshi to Chief Operating Officer and President of R&D and Product Operations; the promotion of Azita Nejad to Senior Vice President, Technical Operations; and the hiring of Dwight Moxie as Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.

"With the FDA's recent acceptance of our BLA submission for DAXI in glabellar lines, and the announcement of our distribution agreement for TEOXANE's RHA® technology, Revance has constructed an exceptional start to what we believe will be a transformational year for the company. These milestones represent the first two of twelve potential value inflection points for our company in 2020," said Mark J. Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Revance.

"In addition to supporting our DAXI approval efforts, we are focused on preparing for a successful launch of the RHA® line of dermal fillers in the U.S. Also, we have multiple data readouts in the coming months that we believe will reinforce the value of DAXI in both aesthetics and therapeutics, most notably the topline results from our ASPEN-1 Phase 3 trial in cervical dystonia and Phase 2 trial in plantar fasciitis, along with three Phase 2 open-label facial aesthetics studies."

Mark Foley continued, "We have also capitalized on our company's recent success with a number of financings that have materially strengthened our balance sheet. This will enable us to execute our strategy and new product launches with confidence. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Revance for the hard work that has gone into creating the opportunities before us, positioning Revance to become an innovation leader in aesthetics and therapeutics."
