Forward Looking StatementsToday’s presentation includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our planned pre-clinical and clinical studies, timing or ability to close partnerships, regulatory approval process and demand for our product candidates, are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements.

These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• We have incurred significant losses since inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

• Our ability to generate revenue from product sales is highly uncertain.

• We may need to raise additional funding in the future, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

• No gene therapy products have been approved in the United States, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates.

• We have encountered and may continue to encounter substantial delays in our clinical trials or fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities.

• We rely on third parties to conduct, supervise and monitor our clinical trials and to conduct certain aspects of our product manufacturing and protocol development.

• The insurance coverage and reimbursement status of our product candidates is uncertain.

• Negative public opinion and increased regulatory scrutiny of gene therapy and genetic research may adversely affect public perception of our product candidates and prospects for our business.

• If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate patent protection for our technology and products our competitors could develop and commercialize technology and products similar or identical to ours.

Why Ophthalmology

• No current treatments for diseases targeted by AGTC product candidates

• 200+ genetic disease of the eye• Many people fear blindness more than death• Blinding eye diseases hinder the lives of patients

every day, making it impossible to perform tasks such as driving, riding a bike, and even playing outside.

Significant Unmet Medical Need

Growing Scientific Support

• Extensive preclinical data­ Highly predictive animal models­ Well characterized diseases

• Well-defined clinical endpoints simplify trial design

• Preliminary evidence of safe targeted delivery in human trials

Lead Program: X-linked Retinoschisis (XLRS)

Disease• Missing structural protein results

in poor vision not correctable with eyeglasses

• No current treatments

Normal OCT XLRS OCT

Impact• Poor vision (20/100) detected by

school age• Difficulty reading, driving, or

recognizing faces• 30% chance of retinal detachment

or vitreous hemorrhage at any age

Positioned for Success • Robust animal models and an

understanding of human disease phenotype

• Favorable regulatory environment• Defined clinical development plan• Strong IP position

XLRS Endpoints – For Approval

Visual Acuity• ETDRS chart

– Visual acuity is measured as number of letters read

– More letters read = better visual acuity (85 ETDRS letters = 20/20 vision)

By Patient (Example from AGTC LCA trial)

Blue = treated eye

Visual Field• Static perimetry (spot by spot, with

each spot getting its own visual sensitivity value)

• Kinetic perimetry (from outside in, defining zones of visual sensitivity along the way)

Static PerimetryHill of Vision

Red = untreated eye

XLRS Endpoints – For Additional Support

Retinal Function• Electroretinography (ERG) to quantify

electrical activities among retinal cell types

– a-waves: photoreceptors– b-waves: bipolar cells and

Müller cells

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3302432/

Retinal Layers• Optical coherence tomography (OCT)

to identify and quantify anatomic features

- retinal thickness - thickness of individual layers within retina

(e.g. ellipsoid zone)- total cyst volume
