High unmet medical need CNS Ocular ATTR cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) ▪ Deposition of mutant (e.g., V122I) or wild-type TTR amyloid in the heart Multisystem – Leads to predominantly diastolic heart failure Disease, High – Afib/stroke and heart block frequently seen Disease Burden ▪ Affects 200K+ worldwide, likely underdiagnosed Nephropathy GI Manifestations ▪ Late onset (50-60+), death within 4-6 years ▪ No FDA-approved treatments Carpal Tunnel ATTR polyneuropathy (ATTR-PN) ▪ Affects ~10K worldwide, primarily in EU and JP ▪ Exclusively caused by mutant TTR (e.g., V30M) Polyneuropathy ▪ No FDA-approved treatments 2 Source: Grogan, M et al.

Summary ▪ AG10, a small molecule transthyretin stabilizer, targets disease at its source – TTR mutants with decreased stability predisposes patients to disease, whereas T119M TTR is stabilizing and protective – AG10 binding to TTR mimics structure of T119M variant – Animal PK shows consistent exposure across species – Dog and monkey PD measurements show dose-dependent TTR stabilization ▪ Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers is in progress – Establish tolerability and PK profile – Measure TTR stabilization 11
