Certain information included in this Presentation constitutes forward-looking information or forward-looking statements under applicable securities legislation ("forward-lookingstatements"). These statements relate to future events or future performance of the Company.

Pioneering New Therapies for Kidney Disease
Our mission:
Improve the quality of life of patients with progressive kidney disease by developing innovative therapies.
Our lead programs are in late-stage clinical testing and are designed to manage aberrant purine metabolism, reduce high uric acid and slow the progression of kidney disease.
3
Investment Highlights
- Developing oral therapies for serious progressive kidney diseases with high unmet medical needs including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), type 2 diabetes nephropathy (T2DN) and acute kidney injury (AKI)
- Three programs including two that are derisked and clinically advanced with previous large studies showing safety and efficacy in kidney disease with oxypurinol, and a well-understood mechanism of action
- XRx-008is poised to begin Phase 3 under an accelerated 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway in ADPKD, an orphan indication with an addressable U.S. market of $1.0 billion to $1.8 billion annually
- XORLO™ (working drug name) has received orphan designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- Potential for global licensing deal with high expected pharma interest due to blockbuster sales potential, and limited and poor treatment options
- Three patent families protect pipeline-in-a-producttechnology with broad therapeutic claims in the U.S. and Europe, with protection extending through 2034 and pending to 2043
- CEO Allen W. Davidoff, Ph.D. developed oxypurinol in prior ventures; board and development team have a history of building shareholder value (Cynapsus Therapeutics acquired for $624 million*, Trillium Therapeutics for $2.2 billion)

- Renal dialysis 4 hours 3x per week
- Inability to work full time
- Dependence on family
- Pain and declining health are constant burdens
- Shortened lifespan (50% of patients survive 2 years)
