2 Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the design of clinical trials and expected timing for release of data; the 2017 clinical development milestones and other potential value drivers in the future; the expected benefits of the collaboration with Pfizer, the expanded capability of Sangamo s technologies; the benefits of rebranding and reorganization, the research and development of novel gene-based therapies and the application Sangamo s ZFP technology platform to specific human diseases; corporate partnerships; and the potential of Sangamo s genome editing technology to treat genetic diseases. These statements are based upon our current expectations and speak only as of the date hereof. Our actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the dependence on the success of clinical trials of lead programs, the lengthy and uncertain regulatory approval process, uncertainties related to the timing of initiation and completion of clinical trials, whether clinical trial results will validate and support the safety and efficacy of Sangamo s therapeutics, and the ability to establish strategic partnerships. Further, there can be no assurance that the necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained or that Sangamo and its partners will be able to develop commercially viable gene-based therapeutics. Actual results may differ from those projected in forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in Sangamo s operations and business environments. These risks and uncertainties are described more fully in Sangamo s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are made as of this date, and Sangamo undertakes no duty to update such information except as required under applicable law. 2
