Safe Harbor Forward-Looking Statements These slides and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements and information. The use of words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “future,” “potential,” or “continue,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. For example, all statements we make regarding the regulatory approval pathway for the bempedoic acid / ezetimibe combination pill and bempedoic acid and the anticipated safety and efficacy profile of, clinical development plan for, the bempedoic acid / ezetimibe combination pill and bempedoic acid, including Esperion's timing, designs, plans and announcement of results regarding its global pivotal Phase 3 clinical development program for bempedoic acid and the bempedoic acid / ezetimibe combination pill, Esperion's timing and plans for submission of NDAs to the FDA and MAAs to the EMA and Esperion's expectations for the market for therapies to lower LDL-C, including the market adoption of bempedoic acid and the bempedoic acid / ezetimibe combination pill, if approved, are forward looking. All forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. These statements are also subject to a number of material risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, delays or failures in Esperion’s studies, that positive results from a clinical study of bempedoic acid may not be sufficient for FDA approval or necessarily be predictive of the results of future or ongoing clinical studies, that existing cash resources may be used more quickly than anticipated, and the risks detailed in Esperion's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made. Esperion disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. 2 COPYRIGHT © 2018 ESPERION.

Study 1 (040) Supplemental Materials Summary By design, Study 1 enrolled the oldest and highest CV risk patient population of all recently completed long-term LDL-C lowering clinical studies with high levels of smoking, obesity and elevated blood pressure • As a result, safety event rates were in the range expected for this high-risk population • ALL fatal AE(s) were considered unrelated to study treatment, and pooled pcsk9i event rates (0.9%) were comparable to the 0.9% rate observed in Study 1 • 5 were due to cardiac events, 3 of which were heart attacks (MI) within the first 61 days after randomization in patients who had had coronary events prior to entering the study 5 were due to cancer; 4 lung cancer, by far the leading cause of cancer death in older people; with 80% of lung cancer deaths caused by smoking and for which symptoms typically don’t appear until the cancer is advanced. • • The fully-independent DMC has consistently reviewed both the Phase 3 and CVOT safety results and recommended continuation of the program Measures of adjudicated cardiovascular events ALL favored bempedoic acid over placebo Liver Function Tests (LFTs) elevations were as expected, very low overall, and consistent with statins and ezetimibe As expected, LDL-C lowering efficacy with bempedoic acid was less at 52 weeks than at 12 weeks, consistent with long-term studies of ALL approved LDL-C lowering therapies Bempedoic acid’s MOA has been conclusively demonstrated as inhibition of ATP-Citrate Lyase • • • • • 4 COPYRIGHT © 2018 ESPERION.

Comparison of Study 1 to Recent PCSK9i Long-term Studies Study 1 baseline demographics indicate patients are 10 – 15 years older than patients recent comparable long-term LDL-C lowering studies, at higher risk for cardiovascular disease due to obesity and other factors, and at higher risk for lung cancer as almost 70% are current or former smokers As shown on Slides 6 and 7: in • • —The overall rate of AE(s) is comparable with recent long-term studies of LDL-C lowering therapies —The rate of serious AE(s) is comparable with recent long-term studies of LDL-C lowering therapies —The rate of fatal AE(s) is low overall, but to be expected for the high-risk patient population enrolled in the study who have had at least one CV event and multiple other serious risk factors including smoking, obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, etc. —An imbalance in fatal AE(s) is a function of small numbers, and has also been observed in recent long-term studies of LDL-C lowering therapies We include individual patient narratives for each fatal AE —Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified —Cardiac Disorders —Other • 5 COPYRIGHT © 2018 ESPERION.

Comparison of Adverse Events (AEs) Study 1 to Recent PCSK9i Long-term Studies 1 13 deaths occurred in the bempedoic acid group: four due to lung cancer, one due to metastatic cancer, two myocardial infarction, one myocardial ischemia, two cardiac failure, one due to pancreatitis, one due to multiple organ failure and one due to severe ischemic apoplexy. 2 Six deaths occurred in the alirocumab group in FH I during study treatment, two due to metastatic cancer (non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic carcinoma with secondary Trousseau syndrome causing multiple embolic strokes), one due to acute MI, two classified as due to sudden cardiac death (congestive cardiac failure and coronary artery disease. 3Two deaths were from cardiac failure and myocardial infarction.

CLEAR Outcomes Powering Assumptions Designed to provide greater than 85% power to detect an ~14% relative risk reduction in the primary endpoint of the bempedoic acid treated group as compared with placebo Study expected to complete with a minimum of 1437 patients experiencing the primary endpoint and with all patients required to be on study drug for a minimum of two years Patient population comprised of high risk patients with or without ASCVD unable to benefit from therapeutic doses of statins —Background therapy: No statin or “less than approved daily starting doses of statins” Expected and current baseline LDL-C: ~135 mg/dL —With an expected 27% LDL-C lowering by bempedoic acid (similar to Study 4), the calculated unit (mg/dL) reduction is ~36 mg/dL, a reduction in LDL-C that predicts a relative risk reduction of ~20%, according to the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists formula Powering calculations assume that 10% of patients will discontinue treatment at study start. —Targeted patients have less available/effective options to control lipids and are more motivated to continue in the study – Study 048 had a lower drop out rate due to AEs —Statin related “side effects” unlikely to occur since statin usage will be minimal • • • • • 41 COPYRIGHT © 2018 ESPERION.

ETC-1002/Bempedoic Acid Mechanism Summary LDL-C Lowering via Tissue Specific ACL Inhibition • ETC-1002 is a prodrug and inhibits cholesterol synthesis by inhibition of ACL – an enzyme upstream of HMG-CoA reductase ACL inhibition by ETC-1002-CoA • - - - ETC-1002-CoA directly inhibits recombinant human ACL while parent ETC-1002 does not ETC-1002-CoA inhibits cholesterol synthesis in primary human liver cells ETC-1002-CoA increases LDL receptor activity in human liver cells • ETC-1002 (prodrug) conversion to ETC-1002-CoA (active form) - - - Catalyzed by ACSVL1, an enzyme highly expressed in liver and not expressed skeletal muscle ETC-1002-CoA is not detected in rodent skeletal muscle in vitro or in vivo ETC-1002-CoA is not detected in primary human skeletal muscle cells in vitro or human skeletal muscle microsomes Unlike statins, treatment with ETC-1002/bempedoic acid does not result in cholesterol synthesis inhibition nor promote skeletal muscle toxicity in vitro - Adapted from Pinkosky et al.
