Will The Public Markets Remain Open?
Evidence Of A Biotech Bubble: • The NBI Is More Than Double Since Its March 2000 Peak• The Average Biotech From 2013-2014 Trades At More Than 70% Above Its Offer Price, Over
3X That Of Non-Biotech• 2014 Saw The Largest Number Of Biotech IPOs In History (71)• @40% Of 2014 Biotech IPOs Were Based on Preclinical Data • @25% Of Biotech IPOs Were Immunotherapy Co’s.
Arguments Against A Biotech Bubble:• Better Science: Harnessing Human Genome Data (i.e. Gene & Immunotherapies); Improved
Clinical Trial Designs (Targeted Patient opulations) • Rapidly Maturing Industry, Supported By Extensive Academic Research • Improving Regulatory Environment: Breakthrough & Orphan Designations, SPAs Are
Accelerating Approvals• More Sophisticated Investors: Specialty Biotech Venture Funds Are Leading The Financings • Insider Support: Insiders Buying More Shares On The IPO

• But Still Very Difficult to Raise Capital for New Deals o Most Financings Were Follow-On or Late Stage Deals o Seed Round Financings Were Down 32% in Q1 2015 - to the Lowest
Point In 20+ Years. o First Time Financings Hit Historic Lows in 2014, but Recovered In
