  1. Corporate Factsheet May 2011 • Company Snapshot • Symbol: NVIV.ob 52-Wk Range: $0.60 - $4.00 Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding: 65.2mm • Exchange: OTC.BB Recent Close: $0.89 Market Cap: $55mm FY End: December 31 • Company Profile • InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (OTCBB: NVIV) is a Cambridge, MA medical device company focused on utilizing polymers as a platform technology to develop and commercialize groundbreaking treatments for spinal cord injuries (SCI). The company was founded in 2005 on the basis of proprietary technology co-invented by Robert Langer, Sc.D., Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Joseph P. Vacanti, M.D., who is affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. • The financial impact of SCI, as reported by the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistics Center, is staggering. First year, “cost of care” ranges from $244,562 to $829,843, depending on severity of injury. However, only a very small percentage of patients ever regain full function as current medical interventions address only the symptoms of SCI rather than the underlying neurological pathology. Currently, there are no successful treatment options for spinal cord injuries. • InVivo’s takes a novel approach to SCI. Instead of focusing exclusively on regeneration, InVivo concentrates on neuroprotection: protecting the spinal cord by mitigating the bleeding, inflammation, and further cell death that result from the body’s immune response to SCI. By minimizing these secondary injury processes, and by supporting subsequent repair and recovery, the body can locally reorganize toward functional recovery through the spared healthy tissue. This process, known as neuroplasticity, may result in partial functional recovery. • Technology Platform Highlights: A New Paradigm for SCI Treatment • InVivo’s technologies encompass multiple strategies involving biomaterials, U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) • approved drugs, growth factors, and human neural stem cells (hNSCs). The company is developing three products: • Market Opportunity and Lucrative Grown Potential • In the United States it is estimated that there are 12,000 new cases of spinal cord injury each year, and approximately 1,275,000 people are currently living with paralysis due to SCI. InVivo’s first biopolymer device for acute SCI is scheduled to commence human clinical trials by the end of 2011and the company estimates a total addressable market for acute SCI for its first product of approximately $10 billion. • InVivo’s products offer explosive growth potential with significant reward, while risk is mitigated due to a shorter regulatory approval process for medical devices. Biopolymer Scaffold to Treat SCI: A novel surgical device designed for implantation into an acute SCI lesion. The scaffold is developed from a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer approved by the FDA for surgical sutures. The device degrades naturally inside the body over a desired time period to maximize efficacy without requiring subsequent removal. Injectable Hydrogel for Local Drug Delivery: An injectable hydrogel designed for local controlled release of drugs to counteract the inflammatory environment that results during secondary injury after closed-wound SCI. Biopolymer Scaffold Seeded with Autologous Human Neural Stem Cells: Extends the biopolymer platform technology to treat both acute and chronic SCI by seeding the patient’s own stem cells into the scaffold, which acts as a synthetic extracellular matrix.

The company is the first in history to successfully demonstrate functional improvement in a paralyzed non-human primate and believes this model is the best surrogate for how the products will work in humans. Research from this landmark study(Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 188 (2010) 258-269) received the 2011 Apple Award recognizing excellence in SCI research from the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA). Seminal Rodent Study – 2002 Results from the scaffold configured to treat SCI showed functional locomotive improvement as early as two weeks post-injury. Subjects demonstrated sustainable functional recovery and no adverse pathological reactions to the product. Non-Human Primate Studies – 2008 through 2010 Behavioral scoring was performed along with collection of EMG and kinematic data. On average, all treated animals demonstrated an improved level of functional recovery compared to the control animals.

If approved for commercialization, InVivo’s products will represent an entirely new therapeutic class protected by 10 issued US patents and 3 pending US patents as well as 67 international patents and 34 international patents pending stemming form over a decade of research. The patents cover the use of any biomaterials to treat SCI alone or in combination with any drugs or cells.
