  3. Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency-I (LAD-I) Monogenic Immunodeficiency Disorder Integrin α ß 2 CD11 CD18 ITGB2 gene • Mutations in the common chain (CD18) of the beta2-integrin family ( ITGB2 gene) prevent expression of CD18/CD11 heterodimers on cell surface essential for cell migration and adhesion • LAD characterized by recurring and ultimately fatal infections due to inability of leukocytes to leave bloodstream to get to sites of tissue infection • Severe inflammatory complications include omphalitis, gingivitis and ulcerative skin lesions • Current Treatment Option: Allogeneic HSCT. May be limited by availability of suitable donor, GvHD, infections. Qasim W et al. Pediatrics 2009; 123: 836-40 3 Almarza Novoa E et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract. 2018 July-August (6) 1418-1420.

  4. Clinical Pathogenesis of LAD-I Kaplan-Meier Survival Estimates by LAD-I Disease Spectrum Neutrophil CD18 Expression Patients with severe & moderate LAD-I not receiving allogeneic HSCT Moderate: Severe: 2-30% <2% CD18+ PMN CD18+ PMN PMN = polymorphonuclear leukocytes LAD-I Clinical Prognosis • Patients suffer from recurrent infections; fatal in majority • 60-75% with severe LAD-I die prior to age 2 • >50% with moderate LAD-I die before age 40 The grey diamond indicates the 39% survival to age 2 years for 66 evaluable patients with severe LAD-I not receiving HSCT Almarza Novoa E et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract. 2018 4 July-August (6) 1418-1420.

  5. Gene Therapy for LAD-I - RP-L201 Ex-vivo lentiviral vector gene therapy consists of autologous CD34+ cells transduced with a lentiviral vector (Chim-CD18-WPRE LV) encoding for the CD18 ( β -subunit) component of β 2-integrin Developed at CIEMAT, in partnership with UCL • CD34+ cells are mobilized to PB with G-CSF and plerixafor • Cells are collected via apheresis • Following transduction & cryopreservation, TDM-Busulfan conditioning is administered prior to infusion of RP-L201 5

RP-L201 LAD-I Clinical Trial and Outcome Measures 1 Trial Design – Non-Randomized Global Phase 1/2 Study Phase 1 (n=2): COMPLETED Phase 2 (n=7): Currently Enrolling Primary Outcomes Secondary Outcomes • % of pts w/neutrophil CD18 expression at least • Phase 1: 10% of normal • Safety & preliminary efficacy • % of pts w/neutrophil VCN of at least 0.1 • Phase 2: copies/cell at 6m post-rx • Survival: proportion of patients alive at age • Incidence and severity of infections 2 and at least 1-year post infusion (& not • Improvement/normalization of neutrophilia requiring alloHSCT) • Resolution (partial or complete) of underlying • Safety skin rash or periodontal abnormalities 6 1 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03812263?cond=Leukocyte+Adhesion+Deficiency&rank=5

  13. Subject L201-003-1004: 4 Month Follow-Up Key Drug Product Metrics 2.8 x 10 6 cells/kg CD34+ Cell Dose Drug Product VCN 2.5 • CD18 expression at 4 months: 28% • Early VCN results trending similar to Subject L201-003-1004; 3-month VCN pending • Periodontitis present at baseline is resolving 13

  14. Conclusions • Two severe LAD-I patients have been successfully infused with RP-L201, an ex-vivo LV autologous HSPC gene therapy - One pt with 12M follow-up and second pt with 4M follow-up • Safety profile of RP-L201 appears favorable - Infusion well tolerated; no IP-related SAEs or severe AEs - Both subjects achieved hematopoietic reconstitution in less than 4 weeks • Preliminary efficacy evident in both subjects - Subject L201-003-1001 with durable CD18+ PMN expression >35% at 12-months post-treatment, PB VCN of 1.0 at 9-months, and visible signs of improvement in existing skin lesions - Subject L201-003-1004 with CD18+ PMN expression at 28% at 4- months post-treatment and early PB VCN trending similar to first subject 14
