Pear Therapeutics Announces Operational Performance Metrics for Full Year 2021 and

Reaffirms Financial and Operational Performance Metrics for Full Year 2022

•2021 commercial operational performance metrics, including number of prescriptions, prescription fulfillment rate, and number of covered lives met public guidance

•2021 financial results to be announced in March

•2022 operational and financial metrics remain unchanged

BOSTON, January 18, 2022 -Pear Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEAR), the leader in developing and commercializing software-based medicines, called prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs), today announced certain commercial operating performance metrics for full year 2021, all of which met previously provided public guidance. Pear also reaffirms previous public guidance for full year 2022 operational and financial performance metrics.

Full Year 2021

In 2021, Pear delivered strong commercial progress from its portfolio of marketed products across three key performance metrics of prescriptions, fulfillment, and covered lives for which Pear had previously provided public guidance:

•More than 550 providers wrote more than 14,000 prescriptions for Pear's three commercial products, reSET®, reSET-O®, and Somryst®.

•Approximately 51% of prescriptions written for Pear's three commercial products resulted in patients downloading and accessing therapeutic software content. Pear refers to this as fulfillment rate.

•More than 30 organizations expanded market access for Pear's three commercial products to more than 31.7M covered lives.

In each case below, Pear's commercial operating performance metrics met its previously issued public guidance:

Full Year 2021
Key Operating Performance Metrics	(Guidance)	(Actual)
Prescriptions	12,500	14,000+
Fulfillment Rate	50%	~51%
Covered Lives	30M-40M	31.7M+

"2021 was a transformational year for Pear and for the entire PDT space," said Corey McCann, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Pear Therapeutics. "Pear set out to prove that providers would write prescriptions for PDTs, patients would use them, and payers would pay for them. We succeeded on all three fronts. We are proud of our operational performance metrics in 2021, and we look forward to disclosing our financial results in March."

Pear began trading on Nasdaq on December 6, 2021. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K, issue its first earnings release, and hold its first earnings call in March 2022.

Pear's operational performance metrics were facilitated by the achievement of major value-creating milestones, including:

•Coverage

◦More than 30 organizations now provide access to Pear's PDTs by either listing on a formulary as a covered benefit or purchasing products in bulk. Pear's PDTs were made available on major national product formularies, including two of the top five pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).

◦Massachusetts became the first state to cover PDTs for all Medicaid patients. Pear's products, reSET and reSET-O, were added to MassHealth's Non-Drug Product List, effective November 1, 2021.

•Prescribing

◦Providers deploying Pear's PDTs include large addiction health systems, hospital network providers, and academic medical centers such as ChristianaCare, Crossroads, Northwell Health, M Health Fairview, and Kaiser Permanente Washington.

◦The American Medical Association (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Editorial Panel announced CPT Category 1 codes for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) Services and the Remote Therapeutic Monitoring Treatment Management Services (RTM-TMS) guidelines to clarify coding of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) monitoring services, which will go into effect January 2023.

•Real World Evidence

◦Pear announced the publication of an analysis of real-world data demonstrating patients with opioid use disorder who used an 84-day prescription of reSET-O compared to patients who did not engage with reSET-O resulted in net cost savings over the 9-month period of $2,708 and a 46% lower incidence of hospital-related stays over 9-months, as measured from the patient's use of, or non-engagement with, reSET1.

•Health Equity and Inclusion

◦Pear demonstrated its commitment to rural and underserved populations by working with groups including the Ninilchik Village Tribe in Alaska and State Opioid Response (SOR) grants by Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.

•Pipeline

◦Pear received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA for its reSET-A™ PDT product candidate designed for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). reSET-A potentially expands Pear's addiction franchise, which includes FDA-authorized products to treat substance use disorder (SUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD).

◦Pear acquired and/or licensed two digital therapeutic assets designed to treat patients with a range of depression symptoms to support its development of a PDT candidate that may be for use alone or in combination with pharmacotherapy. Pear intends to incorporate both newly acquired and licensed assets into Pear's depression program, which will require clinical evaluation, and if promising, would then be evaluated in a potential pivotal clinical trial to support FDA submission.

Full Year 2022

Pear reaffirms its previous public guidance for full year 2022:

Key Performance Operating Metrics	Public Guidance
Prescriptions	50,000-60,000
Fulfillment Rate	50-65%
Covered Lives	100M-120M
Gross to Net2	~20%
Revenue	$22M

"This year, we expect to deliver 5x the projected 2021revenue," said Chris Guiffre, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "That positions us well to be able to invest in our alcohol use disorder program, which received breakthrough device designation from the FDA in November, and our depression program, which was bolstered by two deals announced in December. The total addressable markets for both indications are large and the synergy with our current products in the psych space is strong."
