Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements of Lumos Pharma, Inc. that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All such statements contained inthis presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, a law that gives us the opportunity toshare our outlook for the future without fear of litigation if it turns out our predictions were not correct.
We are passionate about our business, including LUM-201 and the potential it may have to help patients in the clinic. This passion feeds our optimism that ourefforts will be successful and bring about meaningful change for patients. Please keep in mind that actual results or events could differ materially from the plans,intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements that we make.
We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using words such as “projected,” "upcoming," "will," “would,” "plan," “intend,” "anticipate,""approximate," "expect," “potential,” “imminent,” and similar references to future periods or the negative of these terms. Not all forward-looking statementscontain these identifying words. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding screening and enrollment forboth our OraGrowtH210 and OraGrowtH212 Trials progressing well, anticipating interim analyses of OraGrowtH210 and OraGrowtH212 Trials by the end of2022, that the interim sample size should be adequate to provide an initial indication of LUM 201’s impact, expecting the primary outcome data readout for ourOraGrowtH210 Trial in the second half of 2023, the potential to expand our LUM-201 platform into other indications, future financial performance, results ofoperations, cash usage and cash position and sufficiency of our cash resources to fund our operating requirements through the primary outcome data readoutfrom OraGrowtH210 and OraGrowtH212 Trials, and any other statements other than statements of historical fact.
We wish we were able to predict the future with 100% accuracy, but that just is not possible. In addition to other considerations referenced in this paragraph, therecent conflict between Ukraine and Russia has increased the uncertainty in that region and may impact our business in the future. Our forward-lookingstatements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions andexpectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements that we make due to a number of important factors, including the effects of pandemics, otherwidespread health problems or the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the outcome of our future interactions with regulatory authorities, our ability to project future cashutilization and reserves needed for contingent future liabilities and business operations, the ability to obtain the necessary patient enrollment for our productcandidate in a timely manner, the ability to successfully develop our product candidate, the timing and ability of Lumos to raise additional equity capital asneeded and other risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Youshould not rely on any of these forward-looking statements and, to help you make your own risk determinations, we have provided an extensive discussion ofrisks that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in Lumos Pharma’sAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as other reports filed with the SEC including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.All of these documents are available on our website. Before making any decisions concerning our stock, you should read and understand those documents.
We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. We may choose to update these forward-looking statements at somepoint in the future, however, we disclaim any obligation to do so. As a result, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our viewsas of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. 3.10.2022

Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (PGHD) – Conversion from Injection to Oral
1 GlobalData EpiCast Report for Growth Hormone Deficiency Epidemiology forecast to 20262 Rosenfeld 2008 Endocrine Practice3 Cutfield 2011 PLOS ONE
• Inadequate secretion of growth
hormone during childhood
• Majority of cases are idiopathic
• Slower physical growth
• Negative effect on metabolic
processes
• Incidence ≈ 1:35001
• Injectable therapies are only options
• Daily, subcutaneous injections of
recombinant human growth hormone
(rhGH) represent standard of care
• Weekly rhGH injections are entering
the market
• Standard treatment is ~2,500 daily
injections over multi-year period
• Injections can be painful and burdensome
• Missed doses lead to suboptimal growth2,3
• Initial market research supports oral
therapy vs weekly injections
PGHD Current Treatment Unmet Need
An established market is now primed for the first oral alternative

LUM-201 Stimulates Endogenous GH Secretion vs. Exogenous rhGH Injection
• LUM-201 is an oral growth hormone (GH)
secretagogue
• Agonist of GPCR GH Secretagogue
Receptor 1a (GHSR1a)
• Stimulates release of GH1
• Increases the amplitude of endogenous
pulsatile GH secretion2,3
• Stimulatory effect is regulated by
endogenous GH/IGF-1 feedback
• Differentiated from bolus injection of
recombinant human growth hormone
(rhGH) products

Growth Hormone Deficiency Patients Have a Range of Secretion Insufficiency
• Well established in the literature:
o A wide range of severity in GHD1
o Variability in responses to GH therapy
o Severely deficient patients exhibit greater growth response to rhGH compared to moderately deficient patients1
• Several prediction models attempt to explain variability and optimize GH treatment2
o Multiple factors may contribute
o GH response to standard stimulation tests is most important predictor of first year growth response to rhGH in PGHD in one analysis3
o Inclusion of baseline IGF-1 strengthened model4
• Recent publications
o Baseline IGF-1 and GH response to standard stimulations tests are independent predictors of growth when patients are treated with rhGH5
o Moderate GHD represents ~60% of total PGHD population5

Significant Prior Clinical Experience with LUM-201 – Both Pediatric and Adult
• Multiple trials were conducted by Merck prior to Lumos acquisition of LUM-201 in July 2018
• Six large-scale adult studies (n ~1,000)
o In every adult indication, IGF-1 and/or GH levels were meaningfully increased from baseline by LUM-201 treatment
• Three clinical trials in pediatric patients (n ~200)
o Phase 1 Study 019 – Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics
o Phase 2 Study 020 – Patients naïve to treatment
o Phase 2 Study 024 – Patients previously treated with rhGH
• No significant safety concerns were identified in any of the studies
Lumos conducted post-hoc analysis of Study 020
o Established definition of “PEM-positive” patients as those with a functional but reduced HP-GH axis
o Revealed striking efficacy differential in PEM-positive patients, that will serve as basis for future trials
o Data strongly support potential for improved efficacy at higher doses
o Analysis generated IP for use of LUM-201 in PGHD and other growth hormone deficiency indications

Study 020 Post-Hoc Analysis: PEM-Positive Patients Responsive to LUM-201
• Naïve PGHD, Study 020
o N=68; three arms
o Placebo patients switched to rhGH at
6 months
o Annualized growth shown for each arm
• PEM-positive subset:
o LUM-201 0.8 mg/kg not statistically
different from rhGH
o Dose response: 0.8 mg/kg statistically
superior to 0.4 mg/kg

Importance of Pulsatility in Growth Hormone Release
• Physiological release of GH is pulsatile
• The unique basis of LUM-201 therapeutic intervention is to increase the amplitude of pulsatile GH secretion

GH Pulsatility and Connection to Growth
• Challenging to answer
o Higher doses of rhGH do increase growth in PGHD patients
o Difficult to directly compare continuous vs pulsatile dosing in patients without using a GHSR1a agonist
• In adults with GHD and healthy elderly, and in a subset of PGHD patients from Merck Study 020, treatment
with LUM-201 for up to one year increases the amplitude of GH released in endogenous pulses
• Evidence supports potential for improved growth with pulsatile GH
o Experiments in rats show pulsatile dosing of GH promotes more growth than continuous dosing1
o Higher frequency of rhGH dosing has been shown to promote more growth than less frequent dosing in PGHD2

• Patients A & B = PEM-Positive
o Baseline IGF-1 > 30 ng/mL and peak GH to single LUM-201 dose ≥ 5 ng/mL*
o LUM-201 treatment augmented pulsatile GH secretion in PEM-Positive patients
o Less than 2-fold increase in GH secretion produced substantial increase in height velocity
• Patient C = PEM-Negative
o Baseline IGF-1 ≤ 30 ng/mL and peak GH to single LUM-201 dose < 5 ng/mL*
o As expected, no increase in pulsatile GH secretion or height velocity observed on LUM-201
