hCDR1 for the treatment of Lupus

SLE: General & Affected Organs & Symptoms Systemic “Lupus” Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, debilitating inflammatory autoimmune disease, resulting in rheumatologic, dermatological and end-organ manifestations 8

Lupus: Market Overview • Prevalence1 1.5 million patients in U.S. (5 million worldwide) varying across ethnicities/geographies Vast majority are women / majority between ages of 15 and 45 • Prognosis Dermatologic & musculoskeletal manifestation most common early on End organs become involved as disease progresses • Most common causes of death • Renal failure, Cardiovascular disease, CNS disorders, Intercurrent infections 10-year survival rate for ~90% of patients • Market expected to grow dramatically SLE Drug Market Growth ($M)2 1Lupus Foundation of America 2 Decision Resources 2013 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 900 2012 2022 16.1% CAGR

Lupus: Competitive Landscape • NO completely effective treatments for lupus in the market: • Current treatments: corticosteroids, cytotoxic immune-suppressants (palliative care) • Problems with current treatments: non specific, severe side effects (hypertension, osteoporosis, bone marrow suppression, increased cancer risk, etc.) • \ • Benlysta (HGS/GSK): approved by 35 FDA 3/2011 30 Only approved drug against Lupus in the last 50+ years Market penetration is slower than expected (2014 sales of $268M 20 vs. expected blockbuster) 25 15 • Weak pipeline: primarily B-cell inhibitors – like Benlysta 10 • Recent Phase III failures: UCB/Lilly 5 0 Stage of Development # of Protocols Phase III Phase II Phase I Preclinical 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 Phase III Phase II Phase I Preclinical Source: Global Markets Direct/H2 2015

hCDR1: Unique Mechanism of Action (MOA) hCDR1 is a peptide that down-regulates the SLE-related autoimmune process; potential to be “first in class” and “best in class” drug Specific upstream immunomodulation through the generation of regulatory T cells Developed by Prof. Edna Mozes of the The Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) >40 peer reviewed journal articles; >200 animal experiments IP: Minimum of data exclusivity (~7 years US/10 years EU) with plans to extend XTL obtained exclusive license from Yeda Research and Development Co. (1/2014)

Clinical Trial History of hCDR1 • Three clinical trials completed (by Teva): Phase Ia, Ib trials and a Phase II trial Studies included over 400 patients Demonstrated to be well tolerated by patients and to have a favorable safety profile • Phase II (PRELUDE) trial Did not meet primary endpoint (SLEDAI) Did not enforce steroid withdrawal algorithm Encouraging results in secondary clinical endpoint, the BILAG index (see below) • 0.5 mg weekly dose showed a substantial effect • Opportunity for hCDR1 Teva returned hCDR1 to Yeda in 2009 Thereafter, in 2010, FDA published guidelines that BILAG should be the primary endpoint hCDR1 has been tested in over 400 patients, has a favorable safety profile and has shown encouraging results on BILAG – an FDA recommended primary endpoint for lupus trials

Summary • hCDR1 for SLE has potential to be “first in class” and “best in class” drug • hCDR1 has a unique mechanism of action SLE is a significant unmet medical need; has shown high interest from Big Pharma There is no current effective solution on the market There is a very weak competitive pipeline • hCDR1 has clinical data on >400 patients Favorable safety profile and well tolerated by patients “Demonstrated efficacy in one and possibly more clinically meaningful endpoints” (Lupus Science & Medicine Journal – August 2015) • Efficacy in FDA-recommended endpoint We need to replicate the results achieved in the previous clinical trial We have reason to believe we can do even better We have the team to get it done
