Forward Looking Statements

3 1 Rapidly growing commercial stage medical device company in the $45 billion US wound care space. FDA approved. Schedule 1 reimbursement. 4 Attractive financial profile: high gross margin business (74%) with 59% of revenues from consumables stream in June Q 2023. Company anticipates adjusted EBITDA profitability in Q4 2023 as major manufacturing ramp kicks in. Expected growth acceleration and profitability in 2024-5. Wound care is undergoing a major transition to evidence based medicine. Re-imbursement being restructured around efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Need to align the interests of patients, physicians, and payors. This favors SANUWAVE directed energy products. 2 Backed by strong, broad IP portfolio (over 165 patents). Foundational patents in the space as well as use patents with applications both in and outside wound care. 3 Investment Highlights

4 UltraMIST® Therapy System Durable device, consumable applicator: one per procedure. Indications for use FDA Approved Diabetic Foot Ulcers Pressure Ulcers Venous Leg Ulcers Deep Tissue Pressure Injuries Surgical Wounds A low-frequency, non-contact ultrasound energy delivered through a fluid mist Device never touches the wound surface making it pain-free Promotes wound healing below the surface by modulating cell membranes to drive increased blood flow and capillary formation Enhances macrophage mediated VEGF and PDGF release to enhance removal of damaged tissue by neutrophils Reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines Kills bacteria by lysing cell walls 3 to 20 minute treatment time with simple, self-contained system Highly portable: weighs only 7 pounds

5 Market Opportunity Growth Drivers Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and commercial providers increasingly classifying regenerative technology products as medically necessary Aging population Increase in obesity, diabetes, cancers and autoimmune disorders Trend to move “care to the edge” and away from hospital settings Treatment Opportunity in the U.S. 2,200 Wound care centers 10,000 Physician offices 15,000 Skilled nursing facilities 28,900 Assisted living facilities ~$18 Billion Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs)2 Annual treatment costs Inpatient only, all payors Targeting a ~$45 Billion Market in the US Estimated Annual Wound Care Costs in the United States ~$12 Billion Pressure Ulcers (PUs)3 Annual treatment costs Inpatient only, all payers ~$15 Billion Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs)1 Annual treatment costs All care settings, all payers

6 Transition to Evidence Based Medicine The Wound Care Market is Transitioning to Evidence Based Medicine 1. “Noncontact low-frequency ultrasound therapy in the treatment of chronic wounds: A meta-analysis,” 2011 Driver et al Improved Outcomes Clinical Evidence Improved Reimbursement Increased Usage Concerns about the efficacy of several common treatment practices such as skin substitutes, grafts, and hyperbaric have led to payor reassessment of reimbursement In meta study (Driver et al) non-contact low frequency ultrasound showed 72% greater healing rate at 12 weeks than standard of care1 Reducing or terminating reimbursement for numerous modalities Increased reimbursement for energy-based treatments UltraMIST is the only energy product that currently qualifies for a schedule one code To change a category, a product must align the needs of patients, physicians, and payors.

7 Recurrence: ~50% of Diabetic Foot Ulcers recur with standard of care. Revascularization resulting from energy treatment may represent a cure, not just symptom relief. Payor Economics Driven by Patient Benefit Cost to close wound in hospital: Energy: $4,5001 VS Skin Substitutes: $14.3k1 Heal time: 16 weeks drops to 8.2 weeks Cost to treat: $8,000 $129,000 Stage 2: partial dermal thickness Stage 3: full dermal thickness Stage 4: visible bone, muscle, tendon Unstageable: full thickness obscured with slough and/or eschar SDTI: severe sub dermal wound without surface opening 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% Resolved Spontaneously Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Unstageable SDTI UltraMist Standard of Care 2% 62% 1% 2% 40% 5% 30% 21% 5% 6% 9% 18% UltraMIST patients: 80% resolve at Stage 2 or less vs 22% Std of Care <$8k to Treat Std of care patients: 70% progress to Unstageable or SDTI vs 14% for UltraMIST >$129k to Treat Wound/Ulcer Progression from Deep Tissue Injury in ICU UltraMIST vs Standard of Care Percentage of treatment group reaching stage before wound resolution

8 UltraMIST Schedule 1: Reimbursed under CPT code 97610: “low frequency, non-contact, non-thermal ultrasound, including topical application(s), when performed, wound assessment, and instruction(s) for ongoing care, per day” Extremely limited code as nearly all ultrasound devices are contact Reimbursement = $420-500/procedure in physician office 100% Medicare reimbursement, significant private Consumable costs = ~$100/procedure (list price) Can be used by Nurse Practitioner 3 to 20 minute treatment time ~85 procedures to pay for device Physician Economics

9 Unit Economics UltraMIST Unit Price $30,000 Applicators Single Use Price $100 TOTAL ESTIMATED GROSS MARGIN: % * Pricing reflects manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP)

10 Manufacturing Capacity Move to Dual Source. Simplify and streamline supply chain and production process. Expand consumables production capacity from 6,300 applicators/wk to 24,000 applicators/wk over next 12-18 months 217 334 650 SANUWAVE has been production and supply chain constrained.
