Scientific Evidence Supports AβO Hypothesis Predominant forms of Ab in AD: Ab monomers (non-toxic), AbOs, Ab fibrils, and amyloid plaques Aβ monomers Aβ oligomers AβOs bind to neurons, impair synaptic function, contribute to Amyloid plaque impairment of memory and cognition, and plaques serve induce tau hyper phos- as a reservoir phorylation of Abeta and may induce toxicity due to Inflammatory Aβ fibrils responses microglial and astrocytic activation Growing understanding of disease mechanisms indicate that AβOs are the most toxic Aβ species and have the potential to be an ideal target for effective AD therapy ____________________ Sources: Adopted From: Selkoe, Hardy EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2016 Cline, Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, 2018 The only approved antibody product for AD and several late stage products preferentially target amyloid plaques with only limited effects on AβOs.

ARIA-E represents a dose limiting adverse effect for mAbs with amyloid plaque binding. We believe antibodies that avoid ARIA should be safer and more feasible to administer, possibly at higher doses.

ACU193: Our Differentiated Approach
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001193125-22-284564/g410427ex99_2p15g1.jpg)
ACU193 Target Product Profile: Best-in-Class, 1st Line, Anti-AβO, Disease- Modifying Immunotherapy for Early AD DRUG: ACU193 is a humanized, affinity-matured, mAb with high selectivity for toxic AβOs vs. Aβ monomers (>500x) and limited to no binding to amyloid plaques. ACU193 is an IgG2 subclass mAb which lacks inflammatory effector functions of other IgG subclasses. POPULATION: Early AD - Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Dementia due to AD (amyloid positive by PET) DOSING: IV infusion every 4 weeks DURATION: Chronic therapy for duration of Early AD VALUE Selectivity for toxic AβOs is expected to provide superior cognitive efficacy and improved PROPOSITION: safety and tolerability relative to non-selective anti-Aβ/plaque mAbs, including: • Slowing the decline of memory and cognition in Early AD • Decreasing AβO induced synaptic and neuronal network toxicity • Slowing disease progression and downstream effects on tau, neurodegeneration, and neuro- inflammation • With expected low rate of ARIA • Potentially effective as stand-alone therapy or in combination with other symptomatic, anti-inflammatory, and/or tau directed therapies 15

ACU193: Extensive Data Package Supporting Development — Nanomolar affinity for AβOs, >500-fold greater selectivity for AβOs over Aβ monomer, with limited or no discernable binding to vascular amyloid or dense core amyloid plaques SELECTIVITY — Binds broad range of endogenous AβOs present in transgenic mice and human AD samples (binds dimers to mid-sized molecular weight AβOs) — Dose-dependent effects in multiple in vitro neuroprotection assays PHARMACOLOGY — Positive memory and behavioral effects in multiple in vivo transgenic mouse models for AD — Brain penetration and biodistribution demonstrated in multiple species PK/PD — Performs like other peripherally administered CNS mAbs — IgG2 subclass lacks inflammatory effector function signaling (FcγR binding) — Nonclinical microhemorrhage studies show no SAFETY increased risk of microhemorrhage — GLP studies demonstrated acceptable safety margin for clinical dosing plans ACU193 is a promising immunotherapy for early AD expected to provide meaningful cognitive and functional benefits, slow disease progression, and offer an attractive safety profile. 16

SELECTIVITY ACU193 is the First mAb Developed to Selectively Target AβOs Highly selective for Aβ oligomers versus Aβ monomers ACU193 Selectivity in presence of ACU193 Selectivity 5μM monomeric Aβ Log [Competing Antigen] μM ACU193 Log μM Even in the presence of a large excess of Aβ monomer, Binding of ACU193 to AβOs >500x binding of ACU193 to AβOs is unchanged binding to Aβ monomer ACU193 selective for binding to AβOs is preserved even in the presence of a large excess of Aβ monomers – such as what is present in the brain, thus limiting ‘target distraction.’ 17

SELECTIVITY ACU193 Has a Greater Preference for AbOs Than Other mAbs Comparison of Aβ species-mAb complex signals across SEC fractions ACU193 binds to a wide range of oligomeric species of Ab that are differentiated from those bound by hu266 (solanezumab) or hu3D6 (bapineuzumab). 18

SELECTIVITY PHARMACOLOGY AβOs Bind to Neurons and are Toxic; Mouse Analogue of ACU193 Prevents Toxicity After binding to neurons, AbOs disrupt Long Term Potentiation (LTP) and cause pathologic increases in intracellular calcium that is destructive to cells. ACU3B3 prevents AβO inhibition of ACU3B3 prevents AβO mediated Ca2+ hippocampal LTP ex vivo elevation in cell cultures Control Aβ (50 nM) 42 Aβ (50 nM) + 42 ACU3B3 (100 pM) Note: (1) ACU3B3 is the mouse monoclonal antibody precursor to and equivalent of humanized ACU193 ACU3B3 prevents changes in aberrant neuronal activity thought to underlie memory loss in AD and prevents AbO mediated disruption of calcium homeostasis in neuronal cultures. 20

SELECTIVITY PHARMACOLOGY PK/PD ACU193 Enters the CNS and Binds to AbOs in Transgenic Mice in Dose Dependent Manner ACU193 engages target AβOs in transgenic mouse brain (tg2576) in dose dependent manner. Ability to administer higher doses in patient clinical trials may provide increased target coverage. 22
