NHL – CLEAR NEED FOR BETALUTIN®
NHL – High unmet need despite available treatments
• 7th most common cancer in the US1
• Median age at diagnosis is 67 years1
• Number of Diagnosed Incident Cases of NHL in the key 7 markets* expected to grow from 145’000 (2018) to 170’000 (2028), as a result of population growth and aging population2
• Market potential expected to reach USD 26.1 billion by 20262

• 40-60% indolent NHL patients treated with RTX-containing regimen are refractory (10%) or develop resistance within 5 years
• R/R patients may not tolerate chemotherapy because of age or co-morbidities
• The need: alternative target to CD20 + “chemo-free” regimens with gentle side-effect profile

~40% of DLBCL patients relapse following 1L RTX-chemo; 60-70% of these patients fail or unsuitable
for subsequent high-dose chemo + SCT

PARADIGME
Single-agent Betalutin® in 3L R/R FL
• Targeting 3L R/R FL as first-to-market indication
• Evaluating optimal strategy to advance into earlier lines
• Evaluating opportunity to investigate R/R MZL based on:
• Promising response in LYMRIT 37-01
• Clear unmet need reflected in Fast-track (US) and Orphan Drug (EU) designations
LYMRIT 37-05
Single-agent Betalutin® in DLBCL
• Recruitment is very slow• DLBCL remains an important indication – need to evaluate
optimal development strategy
Core Focus To be paused after completing ongoing cohorts
Archer-1
Betalutin® + RTX in 2L R/R FL
• Good initial efficacy, but recruitment is very slow• Need to consider future positioning and optimal strategy
• All pre-clinical and research initiatives to be paused

Randomisation
• Patient population: 130 3L FL patients who are refractory to anti-CD20 therapy – difficult-to-treat population, typically >70 years of age, fragile, bulky disease and often with serious co-morbidities
• Primary endpoint: Overall response rate (ORR)
• Secondary endpoints: Duration of response (DoR), Progression free survival (PFS), Overall survival (OS), Quality of life (QoL)
Focused on “40/15” arm of PARADIGME Trial
DISCONTINUE
Treated patients to continue being monitored for final data set
Interim Analysis-
IRC Recommendation
ADVANCE
Complete enrolment of targeted 130 patients (including 100/20 arm patients)
• Advancing “40/15” more rapidly by increasing rate of enrolment
• Assessing the number of patients to be enrolled
• Protocol amendments being implemented following FDA discussions
– Enlarge eligible patient population based on ‘benign’ safety profile
• ASCT patients – represents majority of 3L FL patients in some countries*
• Patients with lower number of platelets at screening
– Estimate to gain approval in all 24 countries in October/November 2020
• Enhanced working relationship with CRO and interactions with study investigators
– Implemented better patient referral networks
– Implementation of several initiatives including enhanced social media strategy to drive recruitment
• Targeting three-month data readout in H2’2021
17 FDA – US Food and Drug Administration; ASCT– Autologous Stem Cell Transplant; CRO – Clinical Research Organisation; *for example, UK, Italy, Turkey, Israel and Spain
Improved trial execution – No. 1 priority
• BLA filing with FDA for Accelerated Approval based on PARADIGME data and initiation of confirmatory Phase 3 trial
• Orphan Drug Designation for 3L FL granted in US and EU in 2014
• Enhanced dialogue with regulators to bring Betalutin® to FL patients quicker thanks to:
– Fast-track designation granted in the US in June 2018 for 3L FL (and in June 2020 for R/R MZL)
– Promising Innovative Medicine (PIM) designation granted in the UK in October 2018
• Exploring other routes to bring Betalutin® to patients faster
18 BLA – Biologics License Application
Regulatory strategy to gain rapid product approval
• Strategic review completed – focused on PARADIGME and extending cash runway into 2021
• Pivotal Phase 2b PARADIGME trial with Betalutin® progressing in 3rd-line Follicular Lymphoma (FL)
• Successful Interim Analysis – IRC recommendation to focus on “40/15” dosing arm
• Protocol amendments to PARADIGME being implemented to enlarge eligible patient population and increase rate of enrolment
• Target 3-month top-line data in H2’2021 (despite COVID-19)
– Paves the way for a planned regulatory filing with Betalutin®
– Regional commercial strategy being developed
• Betalutin® granted Fast-track (US) and Orphan Drug (EU) for Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL)
19
Significant progress in 2020
IRC: Independent Review Committee
Impact of COVID-19 on PARADIGME• Continues to negatively affect patient recruitment
• Target patient population is a high-risk group
– Restrictions on movement during lockdown prevented follow-up visits and data collection on existing patients, and dosing of newly enrolled patients
• Easing of lockdown enabling cancer clinical trials to restart in certain countries
• Expect much improved enrolment rate once protocol amendments implemented

Betalutin® single-dose radioimmunotherapy
• Positioned to serve the unmet needs of elderly/frail R/R FL patients, in particular, those refractory to anti-CD20 immunotherapy
• These patients have co-morbidities, that prevent chemotherapy or targeted therapies (i.e. Pi3K inhibitors) with a high side-effect burden
• Delivers durable responses with a gentler safety profile, in a single administration
22
• Efficacy observed in LYMRIT 37-01 – Part A is seen as a strength– The response rate and mDoR in complete responders are viewed as compelling by HemOncs*
• The combination of potential benefits is what sets Betalutin® apart
– One-time treatment + durable efficacy + manageable toxicity + simplicity for patients and physicians
• HemOncs* view frail/elderly patients with co-morbidities (that prevent chemotherapy or targeted therapies with high side-effect burden) and those refractory to RTX/anti-CD20 as Betalutin®’s ideal patients
23
Betalutin®’s positioning is clearly understood by customers
