SY-1365 (CDK7 inhibitor): Controlling expression of tumor-driving genes First-in-class selective inhibitor of CDK7 CDK7 inhibition induces apoptosis and preferentially kills cancer cells over non-cancerous cells Currently in Phase 1 clinical trial as single and combination agent in ovarian and breast cancers Opened expansion cohorts in September 2018 Data from dose escalation phase presented today in oral presentation at EORTC-NCI-AACR 2018 meeting Broad potential to expand into additional solid tumors and blood cancers Difficult-to-treat solid tumors and blood cancers 3

CDK7 has emerged as a potentially important target across a range of solid tumors and blood cancers Cell Cycle Transcription Certain cancers hijack transcriptional machinery to drive increased expression of oncogenic transcription factors and anti-apoptotic proteins Certain cancers develop adaptations to progress through the cell cycle despite damaged DNA and genomes MYC MYB MCL1 BCL2 MYC MYB MCL1 BCL2 BCL2 BCL2 MYB MYB MYB MYC MCL1 MCL1 MCL1 MYB MYC CDK7 4 CDK2 CDK1 Synthesis Growth Mitosis preparation Mitosis RB signaling pathway

SY-1365 is a first-in-class potent and selective CDK7 inhibitor DiscoveRx kinome scan at 1mM SY-1365 Covalent Highly potent Highly selective Only binds to 7 out of 468 kinases screened at >90% binding Does not significantly bind to CDK9 or cell cycle CDKs Preclinical models demonstrated sustained CDK7 occupancy levels >50% maximized antitumor effects, and supported intermittent dosing Durable tumor responses in in vivo models 5

SY-1365 has dual effect on transcription and cell cycle, preferentially killing cancer cells in preclinical studies Apoptosis SY-1365 has been shown to decrease expression of oncogenic transcription factors and anti-apoptotic proteins in multiple preclinical models SY-1365 is thought to interfere with these adaptations at multiple points in the cell cycle, promoting the induction of apoptosis MYC MYB MCL1 MCL1 Cell Cycle Transcription CDK7 SY-1365 6 Apoptosis RB signaling pathway Synthesis Growth Mitosis preparation Mitosis CDK2 CDK1
