ANTYRAThe Next Generation of Biologicals

• PanMetics is a newly formed biotechnology company developing

a powerful array of novel, targeted therapeutic leads against

cancers with high mortality rates and poor therapeutic options

such as Pancreatic Cancer.

• PanMetics has an exclusive license to develop a novel

scaffold, PanM-429, as a drug lead and as a vehicle for delivery

of therapeutic payloads.

Strategic Goals

Company Overview

Non-Confidential 3

•Cancers such as Pancreatic are unmet medical needs with poor survival rates.

•IGF-1R is a validated target for Pancreatic and other cancers.

•PanM-429 is Mini-protein which acts as an IGF-1R antagonist and inhibits thegrowth of established human pancreatic cancer tumors in animal models.

•PanM-429 is also a “core scaffold” used to generate other therapeutic drugleads including Bi-specifics, which inhibit multiple targets, and as a deliveryvehicle for payloads such as small molecule drugs, siRNA and other biologicaltherapeutics (Cell Penetrating Peptides [CPPs]).

•With a $10M tranched investment, PanMetics will complete Phase 1 clinicaltrials for at least 2 drug leads over a 3 year timeframe.

ANTYRAThe Next Generation of Biologicals

Cost Basis & Rationale

Non-Confidential 4

•PanMetics is looking for an initial investment $10M for 3 years to complete the following:

• Complete a Phase 1 trial for PamM-429 alone or in combination with approved drugs•Generate and characterized PanM-429 derivatives (Bi-specifics and CPPs)•Identify 1-2 PanM-429 derivatives for clinical development•Complete 2nd Phase I trial for a PanM-429 derivative with an approved drug

•The investment can be paid in tranches and additional funding be based on •Go/No Go decisions

•PanMetics believes that the drug leads generated from these studies are valuable commodities and will generate strong interest from pharmaceutical companies who are constantly looking for novel drug leads and ways to deliver their own

products in a highly specific manner.

ANTYRAThe Next Generation of Biologicals

Exit Strategy

Non-Confidential 5

•PanMetics believes that its focused drug development strategywill be amply rewarded through investment from both thefinancial community and pharmaceutical licensing deals.

•Expected exit strategies include:

•Buyout by a large pharma or biotech company•M&A with a biotech with synergistic technologies (e.g., siRNA delivery)•IPO/Reverse Merger under the appropriate conditions

The Medical Opportunity

Non-Confidential 6

ANTYRAThe Next Generation of Biologicals

• The Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling axis is a focus for developingtargeted drugs for treatment of indications including cancer.

• Preclinical research and clinical investigations have implicated the IGF type1 receptor (IGF-1R) and its ligands IGF-I and IGF-II in the development andprogression of a number of human cancers includingpancreatic, ovarian, colorectal, prostate and hematopoietic tumors.

• Targeting the IGF-1R receptor represents an important new approach incancer therapy. PanMetics intends to use its PanM-429 core scaffold togenerate drug leads which will inhibit the IGF-1R cancer axis.

The Target: IGF-1R

PanM-429 is a Novel IGF-1R Antagonist

Non-Confidential 8

• PanM-429 is a member of a class of novel, highly specific bioactive Mini-Proteins called Peptimetics which act as agonists or antagonists and canbe generated for any disease indication.

• PanM-429 is an IGF-1R antagonist with high affinity and selectivity

• Because of its high specificity and biological activity, PanM-429 can beused as a therapeutic in its own right as well as in combination withapproved drugs for Pancreatic and other cancers.

• In addition to its value as a drug lead, PanM-429 can also be used togenerate novel derivatives such as Bi-specifics and CPPs to deliverpayloads such as small molecule and biological drugs.

ANTYRAThe Next Generation of Biologicals

PanMetics’ R&D Goals

Non-Confidential 9

•Fully characterize PanM-429 as a therapeutic lead in animal models alone andin combination with approved drugs such as gemcitabine (Gemzar) and Tacerva

•Generate novel derivatives of PanM-429 including Bi-specific and CPPs.

•Bi-specifics which inhibit multiple targets such as IGF-1R/EGFR & IGF-1R/FGFR1

•Cell Penetrating Peptides to deliver a vast array of therapeutics including smallmolecules and biologicals such as, but not limited to, siRNA and antisenseoligonucleotides

•Characterize these entities in vitro and in the appropriate animal models

•Identify 2 drug leads for clinical development (manufacturing, PK/ADMET)

•Complete two Phase 1 clinical trials by the end of Year 3 for these 2 drug leads

‣PanM-429 internalizes into various cell types including Pancreatic

Cancer

‣PanM-429 can be used to deliver therapeutic payloads such as

siRNA, antisense, biologicals and small molecules.

‣PanM-429 conjugated to a payload can be considered “Bi-specific”

because both the Peptimetic and the payload have biological

activity.

PanMetics Has the Therapeutic Edge

Non-Confidential 21

•PanMedics believes that PanM-429 and its derivatives will be effectivealone and in combination with any approved drugs to increase thetherapeutic index for IGF-1R expressing cancers such as Pancreatic.

•PanM-429 is cheaper to produce than monoclonal antibodies and vaccines(=decreased COGs).

•PanM-429 Bi-specifics will inhibit multiple targets thereby increasingselectivity, potency and therapeutic index.

•PanM-429 conjugated to small molecules and biologicals will be able totarget internal targets inaccessible to monoclonal antibodies

PanMetics: 5 Year Plan

Non-Confidential 24

•Primary Opportunities: Years 1-3•Move 2 drug leads through Phase I Clinical Trials

•Secondary Opportunities: Years 1-3•Continued pre-clinical development of additional PanM-429 derivatives forpartnering/licensing and downstream INDs

•Round B financing = $7.5M: Years 4-5•Move additional drug leads into Phase I Clinical Trials (from PanM-429derivative pool)•Identify new targets for Pancreatic Cancer and generate novel Peptimeticantagonists for pre-clinical development•Develop antagonists for additional high mortality/untreatable cancers

Phase II Clinical study(s): With additional financing for Years 4-5 ($15-20M)PanMetics would be able to move one of its drug leads into a Phase II trial. Itis anticipated that this would be done in partnership with a largepharmaceutical/biotech company
