Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding future operational and financial results and positions, business strategy, prospective products, potential market, commercial opportunity and market share, availability and potential sources of funding, clinical trial results, product approvals and regulatory pathways, research and development costs, timing (including but limited to timing of clinical development and approval), strategies for completion and likelihood of success for our business activities, our regulatory timelines, and plans for future operations, are forward-looking statements reflecting the current beliefs and expectations of management made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, those inherent in the preclinical and clinical development process; the uncertainties of having an NDA accepted by the FDA, the risks and uncertainties of the regulatory approval process; commercialization and gaining market acceptance; conditions when bacteria will evolve resistance to plazomicin, C-Scape or other antibiotics; third party claims alleging infringement of patents and proprietary rights or seeking to invalidate Achaogen's patents or proprietary rights; and the risk that Achaogen's proprietary rights may be insufficient to protect its product candidates. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to our business in general, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2017 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our future periodic Form 10-Ks or Form 10-Qs. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. This presentation concerns plazomicin, C-Scape and other product candidates, none of which have been approved for commercialization. They are currently limited to investigational use, and (except as specifically described herein) no representation is made to their safety or effectiveness for the purposes for which they are being investigated. © Achaogen, Inc.

C-Scape Phase 1 Top-Line Results The combination of ceftibuten/clavulanate was well tolerated when administered for 14 days across all dosing regimens tested No serious adverse events (SAEs), grade 3 or 4 adverse events, or adverse events leading to discontinuation of study drug were observed Safety profile was consistent with expectations for ceftibuten/clavulanate when administered based on existing product labels The most commonly reported adverse events included vascular access site bruising, headache, diarrhea, gastroenteritis and nausea. The incidence of each of the most common adverse events was comparable between the active treatment groups and placebo. Preliminary pharmacokinetics following administration of ceftibuten/clavulanate in combination were similar to those following administration of each compound alone, indicating no drug-drug interaction between ceftibuten/clavulanic acid © Achaogen, Inc.
