This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,

Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-

looking statements are not based on historical fact and include statements regarding Alpine’s platform technology, potential

therapies, potential milestone and royalty payments, future development plans, clinical and regulatory objectives and the timing

thereof, expectations regarding the sufficiency of cash to fund operations into 2020, expectations regarding the plans of its

collaborator, expectations of future collaborations, and expectations regarding the potential efficacy and commercial potential of

Alpine’s and its collaborator’s product candidates. Forward-looking statements generally include statements that are predictive in

nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “would”,

“expect”, “plan”, “intend”, and other similar expressions among others. These forward-looking statements are based on current

assumptions involving risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, events, or developments to be

materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, many of

which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to: Alpine’s discovery-stage and pre-clinical programs may not

advance into the clinic or result in approved products on a timely or cost-effective basis or at all; Alpine may not achieve

additional milestone payments pursuant to its collaborations; the impact of competition; adverse conditions in the general

domestic and global economic markets; as well as the other risks identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange

Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, Alpine undertakes no obligation to update

forward-looking statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Turning Immunoglobulin Superfamily (IgSF) Proteins Into Novel Therapeutics

• IgSF is the largest human protein superfamily, with

765 members identified1

• Named for the Ig domain (70-110 amino acids)

found in antibodies

• Includes many targets which have evolved as

critical regulators of immunity, e.g.

Initial Indications for ALPN-101 are Psoriatic Arthritis and Acute GvHD

PsA offers a considerable

commercial opportunity

• ~250-300K patients per year affected with

moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis

• TNFs, IL-17s, and IL-12/23s expected to dominate

market. Competitive pipeline offering few novel

MOAs

• Orencia’s revenues are projected at $250M+ U.S. in

2025 despite modest effects

• ALPN-101 has shown ability to differentiate from

Orencia in multiple preclinical models

GvHD has significant unmet needs.

The opportunity is relatively small

but rapidly evolving

• ~4K Acute GvHD patients per year

• Predominately a T Cell mediated disease

• 30-50% do not respond to available therapies

• Preclinical data strongly support activity of

ALPN-101 in this disease population

• Single dose of ALPN-101 has been shown to be

effective in aggressive preclinical model

Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) Acute GvHD

New therapeutic options needed for a host of other potentially ICOS/CD28 mediated diseases:

Lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel disease (IBD), Ophthalmology (Uveitis/Dry Eye),

and Pulmonary Fibrosis

ALPN-202 Phase 1 Strategy

Demonstrate Early Monotherapy Activity and Enable Combo Development

• Population: advanced malignancies (all-comer)

- May enrich for any translationally justified tumors

- Consider 1st line PD-(L)1 on-label tumors in combo

• Design

- “Subtherapeutic”: Single patient cohorts

- “Active” doses: 3+3 dose escalation,

• Assessments

- ORR, DOR, PFS, OS

- Retrospective biomarker analysis
