Forward-Looking Statements
These slides and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the effectiveness, safety, long-acting nature, anticipated human dosing, anticipated trial design and timing, the potential to treat and/or prevent infections, the degree to which results in our Phase II clinical trials predict results in our Phase III clinical trials, and other attributes of rezafungin; as well as the potential market size for rezafungin, ability of rezafungin to capture market share from existing therapies, and the advantages of rezafungin in other settings of care.
Certain statements regarding our Cloudbreak platform are also forward-looking including statements regarding whether our Cloudbreak platform can identify product candidates with intrinsic antimicrobial activity and immune engagement that will increase efficacy or represent an improvement over existing anti-infective agents; whether Cloudbreak candidates, including CB-012, will achieve the major attributes believed to be needed in flu such as broad spectrum, superior resistance profile, protection for high-risk populations, expanded efficacy window, long duration of action and rapid onset of activity, or flexible administration; whether results observed with Cloudreak influenza candidates, including CB-012, in-vitro or in animal studies, including, potency and broad coverage, activity against resistant strains, activity in immune compromised patients, extending the treatment window, extended half-life and long duration of action, improved viral clearance in the lungs, improved reduction in inflammatory cytokines, and a robust safety profile or other observed attributes represent an improvement over existing therapies or will also be observed in human use; and whether our Cloudbreak platform can be expanded to identify product candidates to treat or prevent other viral diseases, such as RSV, HIV, Dengue or Zika. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by Cidara relating to market size and growth and other data about Cidara's industryThese data involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such
estimates. Projections, assumptions and estimates of the future performance of the markets in which Cidara operates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Risks that contribute to the uncertain nature of the forward-looking statements include: Cidara’s abilityto obtain additional financing; the success and timing of Cidara’s preclinical studies, clinical trials and other research and development activities; receipt of necessary regulatory approvals for development and commercialization, as well as changes to applicable regulatory laws in the United States and foreign countries; changes in Cidara’s plans to develop and commercialize its product candidates; Cidara’s ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for its product candidates; and the loss of key scientific or management personnel. These and other risks and uncertainties are described more fully in Cidara’s Form 10-K as most recently filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under the heading “Risk Factors.” All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date on which they were made. Cidara undertakes no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.

Prevention and treatment of influenza today have limitations
In 2018, 650,000 people died due to influenza.
PreventionFlu vaccine effectiveness averages 40%, and often as low as 10-25% in the elderly, very young, and immuno-compromised. Flu vaccine manufacturing is difficult to predict and scale. The net result: hundreds of millions of people are unprotected.
TreatmentTreatments today are limited to two classes, with the latest already exhibiting >10% resistance. Treatments are generally ineffective if started beyond a 48 hour window and in complicated hospitalized patients.

Cloudbreak platform – multimodal mechanism of action: intrinsic antimicrobial activity & immune engagement
One molecule, multiple mechanisms
Cloudbreak candidates targeting viral infections are called Anti-Viral Fc-Conjugates (AVCs), single molecules comprising two distinct moieties with discrete, yet complementary mechanisms of action: the Targeting Moiety (TM) and Effector Moiety (EM).
AVCs not only mediate pathogen clearance through a multimodal mechanism of action but also have potential for months of activity with a single dose.
VIRUS
Potent small molecule inhibitor binds a conserved essential target
Fc recruits immune system
Effector Moiety (EM)Fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of human IgG1 antibodies, which was selected to maximize engagement of the human immune system via Fc-gamma (Fcγ) receptors, and for its long half-life.
Targeting Moiety (TM)Novel, highly potent small molecule that binds surface targets on the pathogen to directly destroy it and/or inhibit replication.
Our Cloudbreak candidates are designed to counter infection in two ways:1) by directly targeting and destroying invading pathogens, and2) by focusing the immune system at the site of infection.

Our AVC uniquely achieves the major attributes needed in ’flu
Broad spectrum, universal coverage
Superior resistance profile
Protection for High-Risk Populations
Expanded efficacy window
Long duration of action
Rapid onset of activity
Activity against pandemic and seasonal influenza A and B viruses not covered by existing vaccines and treatments.
Expected lower viral resistance due to the AVC multimodal mechanism of action.
Unlike vaccines, AVCs work in immune compromised hosts due to their potent, intrinsic antiviral activity.
AVCs demonstrate the potential of expanding the efficacy window beyond the current 48 hours of existing treatments.
AVCs are designed to provide protection for a full flu season with a single subcutaneous dose.
Immediate effective protection and treatment, unlike vaccines which require 14-days to elicit an immune response.
Flexible administration Equivalent effective exposure via subcutaneous, intravenous or intramuscular administration.

Dose-dependent viral clearance in lungs
Why this is important: Severe influenza infections are caused by the virus moving from an initial upper respiratory tract infection to the lungs. Recent studies in lethal mouse H1N1 infection models demonstrate that single, low doses of CB-012 rapidly lower viral burden orders of magnitude better than Tamiflu (Oseltamivir).

Dose-dependent reduction in inflammatory cytokines in lungs
Why this is important: Morbidity and mortality from severe influenza is ultimately caused by virally induced influx of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the lungs. One potential concern of using an immunotherapy such as Cloudbreak to treat influenza is whether the Fc fragment would exacerbate cytokine induced inflammation. The results of the H1N1 lethal infection model show just the opposite: a CB-012 dose dependent decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-6 in infected lung tissues.

Platform expansion beyond influenza
Cloudbreak is a modular platform
This platform can be tailored to develop long acting preventative agents and potent treatments for other viral diseases. At Cidara, we have expanded the platform to address RSV, HIV and flavivirus (Dengue and Zika viruses).
Proof of concept molecules have been discovered that demonstrate highly potent in vitro activity against each of these disease vectors. These follow-on programs greatly benefit from the technologies developed in the influenza program.
