1 ACCELERATED PATH TO CURES Developing Novel Treatments for Autoimmune Diseases

2 Landos Strengths Scientific, Clinical and Business Leadership 2 Expandable Oral Therapeutic Pipeline Financially Stable Raised $10M Series A to advance Lead to Phase 1; Landos will be raising $30-50M Series B for Phase 2 TECHNOLOGY First-in-class oral therapeutics with a unique MoA targeting LANCL2 Advancing Lead Candidate in Crohn s and Ulcerative colitis Product Development Validation Successful PreIND for BT-11 & Open IND for BT-11 Strong animal pharmacology in 5 IBD models, toxicology and human translation Phase 1 First in Man testing underway Strong IP Comp of Matter and Method of Use, Long patent life 2035 Possible Exit Strategy IPO, M&A or Strategic Alliance at the end of Ph. 2

3 Crohn s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis IBD afflicts 2 million in the U.S. and 5 million people worldwide 5M afflicted $10B market 25% growth 70-90% will require surgery 100,000 hospitalizations 3

4 The IBD Market: $10B 25% Growth Autoimmune disease therapeutics market in U.S. is $100 billion Biologics (68%) Others (5%) 4 Immunomodulators (19%) 5 ASA (8%) Biological treatment dominates most of the market share. However, it is expected to drop 11 points, down to 57%, by 2026 due to safety concerns and emerging novel technologies with significant competitive advantages

5 Unique MOA: Lanthionine Synthetase C-Like 2 HOW LANCL2 WORKS BT-11 LANCL2 AC PKA CREB 5 5 AMP camp LANCL2 activation by BT-11 intercepts IBD at two levels: by decreasing the production of inflammatory mediators (TNF, IFNg, MCP1) and increasing antiinflammatory molecules (IL-10, FOXP3) in the GI tract. First in class compounds with oral ROA and local GI action ATP BT-11, 48 scaffolds, and 3 billion NCEs composition of matter claims allowed in USPT 9,556,146; 2017 & 9,839,635 in 2018; 15 countries Activates IL-10 & FOXP3 Both method of use and composition of matter claims for IBD, RA, T1D, T2D, and influenza Inhibits TNF- & IFN-g

6 Expansible Therapeutic Pipeline Product Indication BT-11 CD BT-11 UC NX-13 UC/CD BT-63 T1D BT-63 T2D INT10 CDI BT-110 Flu BT-13 RA Preclinical POC Preclinical INDenabling 6 Phase I Phase II *

7 BT-11 Target Product Profile For CD & UC Product Name Prime Therapeutic Indications BT-11 First: Treatment for alleviation of signs and symptoms and induction and maintenance of clinical remission in male and female adult patients with moderate to severe CD. Second: Treatment for alleviation of signs and symptoms and induction and maintenance of clinical remission in male and female adult patients with mild to moderate UC. 7 Lead Competitor (TNF- blockers) Treatment to reduce signs and symptoms and induce and maintain remission in adult patients with moderate to severe CD or UC who have not responded to other therapies. ROA/Dosage Oral once-a-day dosing through a tablet until symptoms alleviate (8 mg/kg in mouse models) I.V. infusion Formulation Tablets (Phase 1 & 2) Sterile powder for I.V. infusion Activation of the LANCL2 pathway Neutralization of TNF- Mechanism of Up-regulation = IL-10, FOXP3 Action Down-regulation = TNF-, IFNg, MCP-1, IL-6 Efficacy Safety/ Tolerability Efficacy in 5 validated mouse models (8 mg/kg) Variable degrees of efficacy in 3 mouse models Benign safety profile up to 1,000 mg/kg p.o. in dogs and rats without dose-limiting safety issues. Increased risk for cancer (T cell lymphoma), infection and death

8 Efficacy Of BT-11 In 5 Validated Mouse Models Of IBD Untreated : Inflamed BT-11 Treated : Not Inflamed Oral BT-11 decreases gut inflammation by 90%, triggers 4x lesion reduction, and modulates inflammatory responses by up-regulating IL-10 and down-regulating TNF-a 8

9 BT-11 Targets LANCL2 In The GI Tract 9 Cmax = 28ng/mL t1/2 = 3.1hr Kel = L/hr Vd = 3.38 L/kg BT-11 systemic absorption is extremely low No dose proportionality (80 to 500 mg/kg) Limited systemic exposure No accumulation in plasma Volume of distribution is high BT-11 in the colon and colonic contents is high 90% reduction of inflammation BT-11 is stable to stomach and intestinal fluids

10 Oral Route Of Administration In support of it local action in the GI tract, oral and rectal BT-11 administration protects from IBD, but I.V. administration of BT-11 fails to protect from IBD. 10

11 Human Translational Data Treating human PBMCs from Crohn s disease patients with increasing concentrations of BT-11 ex vivo induced IL-10 production and expression of FOXP3 while suppressing production of TNF and IFNg 11

12 BT-11 Outperforms Current Drugs and INDs 12

13 BT-11 Has Demonstrated Benign Safety Profile BT-11 is negative in genotoxicity studies such as the Ames test up to 5,000 µg/plate; herg screening Single medium/high dose in rats (0 or 500 mg/kg) 7-day assessment & recovery. Multiple Moderate dose in rats (0 or 80 mg/kg) 14-day assessment & recovery DRF Studies in rats and dogs (0, 250, 500, and 1,000 mg/kg) 7-day assessment & recovery and safety pharmacology 28-day tox assessment & recovery in male and female rats (1,000 mg/kg) GLP 12-week assessment & 2 week recovery in rats (complete) and dogs (ongoing); 9 and 6 month dosing to support continuous dosing of BT-11 (post-ind). No dose-limiting safety issues. 13

14 Landos Has an Open IND for BT-11 UC IND Landos received Study May Proceed Notification for Phase 1 from the FDA on June 15, 2018 First-in-Humans Phase 1 Study Initiated in July,
