Caplacizumab unique mode of action
Rapidly stops formation of microclots
ULvWF and anti-vWF Nanobody
ULvWF
Ex vivo assay for platelet string formation
Fluorescence microscopy image of platelets adhering to UL-vWF in plasma of an aTTP patient
Without treatment, fluorescently labelled platelets adhere to
UL-vWF, observed as string-like structures
Caplacizumab inhibits the formation of platelet strings and potentially
the associated microvascular thrombi in many organs
Caplacizumab blocks the platelet – ULvWF interaction
Ultra-Large (UL)
vWF multimers UL-vWF multimers
cause platelet string
formation
ADAMTS13 activity is
impaired
endothelium
Caplacizumab binds to A1
domain of vWF and thereby
inhibits platelet string formation
Inhibitory autoantibodies
13
Acquired TTP
• aTTP is an acute disease leading to morbidity and mortality
– causes extensive microclot formation in small blood vessels throughout the body
– leads to tissue ischemia, organ dysfunction, and major thromboembolic events (stroke, myocardial infarction, thrombosis)
– up to 20% mortality rate in the acute phase1 and ~ 36% of patients suffer from further disease recurrences2
• We estimate a total of ~7,500 aTTP episodes p.a. in North America, Europe and Japan
• High unmet medical need with no approved therapeutic drug currently available

There is a high unmet need for a novel treatment option that would result in:
• faster resolution of the acute episode of aTTP and related resulting organ damage
• reduction in risk of mortality and thromboembolic events
• prevention of recurrences while on treatment
• reduction in risk of refractoriness to treatment
• reduction in dependency on PEX
Acquired TTP
Current standard-of-care – unmet medical need
Daily plasma exchange (PE) until confirmed platelet

Immunosuppression (corticosteroids and/or
rituximab)

removes auto-antibodies
replenishes ADAMTS13
inhibits auto-antibody formation

Caplacizumab
Addressing the unmet need in aTTP
TITAN Phase II study of caplacizumab1
• 39% reduction in time to platelet normalisation
• 71% fewer patients with recurrences during treatment
Post-hoc analysis2
• 74% reduction in the frequency of major thromboembolic events
(11% vs 43%)
• dramatic reduction in refractoriness to treatment
(6% vs 22%)

Vobarilizumab – anti-IL-6R Nanobody
Potential novel treatment for RA and SLE
• Opportunity in multi-billion dollar markets
• RA:
– encouraging results from two Phase IIb RA studies (N=~600)
– open-label extension study ongoing
• SLE
– chronic multi-system inflammatory disease with unmet medical need
– Phase II study ongoing (N=~300); topline data in H1 2018
• We will wait for the SLE data and AbbVie’s opt-in decision
before deciding on our future strategy
RA: rheumatoid arthritis; SLE: systemic lupus erythematosus
35
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
• As a combination therapy with MTX, vobarilizumab had a positive impact on
clinical efficacy endpoints after 24 weeks of treatment
– high ACR50 and ACR70 responses of up to 61% and 45%
– up to 70% of the patients achieved low disease activity* based on DAS28CRP of
which 51% were in remission**
• As a monotherapy, up to 50% more patients achieved DAS28CRP remission
with vobarilizumab compared to tocilizumab (41% vs. 27%) after 12 weeks
of treatment
• Vobarilizumab showed a favorable safety profile and has the potential for
effective monthly administration
*DAS28CRP ≤ 3.2 **DAS28CRP <2.6
Positive Phase IIb study results with vobarilizumab reported
Vobarilizumab has potential for disease modifying activity
supporting treat-to-target management of RA
36
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Auto-antibodies are the hallmark of the disease
• SLE market estimated to grow to $2.2 billion by 20252
• Chronic multi-system inflammatory disease with serious pathological conditions
– joints and skin are mostly affected
– patients suffer from severe cardiovascular, CNS
and renal complications
– fluctuating disease activity with flares
– diverse and individualised therapeutic approach
– prevalence 20-150 per 100,0001; continues to grow
– predominantly affects women; mostly diagnosed
between 15 and 45 years old
– more common and more severe in African-
Americans, Hispanics and Asian women
1 Lawrence et al ., Arthritis Rheum., 1998; Chakravarty et al ., Arthritis Rheum., 2007; Pons-Estel et al ., Semin Arthritis Rheum., 2010; 2 Decision Resources 2016
37
High unmet medical need in SLE
• Standard-of-care
– corticosteroids, anti-malarials and immunosuppressants commonly used
– addition of biologicals for severe cases
• Benlysta (belimumab) approved by FDA since 2011
restricted access due to reimbursement criteria
• Rituxan/MabThera (rituximab) used off-label
• High unmet need
– reduction of disease activity
– steroid sparing to reduce risk of future organ damage
– prevention of flares
– reduction of cardiovascular mortality
– improved health-related quality-of-life
Current therapies are not always effective and have many side-effects
38
Vobarilizumab in SLE
Rationale for approach
Ball et al., Lupus, 2013; Tackey et al., Lupus, 2004; Mao et al., Clin Rheumatol., 2014; Wallace et al., Ann Rheum Dis, 2017; Il lei et al., Arthritis & Rheumatism; 2010
• IL-6 levels are elevated in patients with SLE
• Inhibition or knock-out of IL-6R in pre-clinical models had a strong impact on the
SLE phenotype
• Clinical studies targeting both IL-6 and IL-6R have shown encouraging
preliminary efficacy data in SLE, though safety appears to have presented
problems
• We have been able to learn from previous studies in designing the STEADY
trial, particularly with regard to enrollment criteria
• Vobarilizumab has shown in the RA studies that it targets IL-6R effectively and
has a favourable safety profile

• Market expected to grow to >$43bn by 20201
• IO drugs expected to treat 60% of cancers
• Proven substantial survival impact
Large market potential
• Increasing number of targets
• Combination therapies are the future
Multiple targets
Nature Reviews - 2012
• Bind multiple targets (2, 3, 4 or 5) with one Nanobody molecule
• Potential to increase efficacy and avoid escape mechanisms
• Technology allows rapid exploration of combinations
• Manufacturing simplicity and cost-effectiveness
Multi-specific Nanobodies -
the next wave!

Outlook
Focus on sustainable value creation
• HERCULES Phase III data anticipated to be available in late Q3 2017
• Results from Phase I with caplacizumab in Japanese healthy volunteers planned
in Q4 2017
• Preparations for commercialisation of caplacizumab ongoing
• In Q4 2017, we expect to file for regulatory approvals
– to start a trial with ALX-0171 in Japanese infants infected with RSV
– to study the use of ALX-0171 in adults who have undergone a stem cell transplant and
have become infected with RSV
• The STEADY trial with vobarilizumab in SLE is expected to report data in H1 2018
• The RESPIRE trial with ALX-0171 in RSV infected infants should report data in H2 2018
