1 ONCO TEAM DIAGNOSTIC

2 ONCO TEAM SPECIALISTS The team at ONCO TEAM has 23 specialists: o 11 general pathology seniors: - 8 PhD (1 PhD on lung tumors pathology) o 3 general pathology specialists; o 2 dermopathology seniors; o 5 biologists: - 1 PhD in molecular biology; - 2 PhD students; o 5 technicians (laboratory medical assistants)

3 ONCO TEAM LABORATORY EQUIPMENT ONCO TEAM pathology lab is 95% automated with latest generation equipment purchased from the following companies: THERMO, LEICA, VENTANA, ROCHE and ABBOTT MOLECULAR: - Automated line equipment from THERMO (cryostat, tissue processor, embedding station, microtome, slide steiner, coverslipper) and from LEICA (tissue processor, embedding station, microtome, slide steiner) - 3 immnohistochemistry automated stations: - Benchmark Ventana ULTRA; - Benchmark Ventana XT; - BOND III- Leica. - ThermoBrite Hybridisation Station Abbott Molecular

4 Tissue processor Excelsior (Thermo) Work Station (Thermo) Tissue embedding stations (Leica and Thermo)

5 Slide stainer (Gemini) Microtome

11 KEY INDICATORS Increase in the number of patients Diversification and modernization of medical services Increase of the investment in the laboratory equipment Innovation

12 INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS Evolution of the number of patients number of patients annually (8 months) (10 months)

13 DIVERSIFICATION AND MODERNIZATION OF MEDICAL SERVICES 2013 Histopathology and manual IHC; Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) for HER2neu; 3 technicians and 4 pathologists; % of the IHC comprised automated techniques; Introducing fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique in soft tissue sarcomas (STS) and HER2neu; Introducing molecular biology techniques (KRAS and NRAS RFLP; EGFR PCR revers hybridization on strips);

14 DIVERSIFICATION AND MODERNIZATION OF MEDICAL SERVICES 2015 Increment of sample processing quality by the acquisition of a tissue processor (Excelsior AS) and Gemini AS Slide Stainer; 60% of the IHC comprised automated techniques (including ALK/ D5F3 clone for lung adenocarcinoma) % of the IHC comprised automated techniques with two Ventana platforms (XT and Ultra) (including PDL1/SP263 clone for lung adenocarcinoma and other malignancies). For molecular biology the acquisition of Cobas Z 480 PCR platform Introducing molecular biology techniques (KRAS, NRAS, EGFR, BRAF Real Time PCR) for paraffin embedded tissue

15 DIVERSIFICATION AND MODERNIZATION OF MEDICAL SERVICES % of the IHC comprised automated techniques - two Ventana platforms (XT and Ultra) and Bond III platform; For molecular biology the increment of test types on Cobas Z 480 PCR platform, by introducing the test on circulatory tumor cells DNA; 16 pathologists, 5 biologists, 5 technicians.

16 QUALITY ASSESSMENT Our company has a constant interest in increasing the quality. We have multiple yearly contracts with Labquality Finland (3x general histopathology-interpretation, 2x special stains, 3 x IHC, each of 5 antibodies/pathology) We also required IHC and molecular biology controls from the European Society of Pathology LUNG - ESP Lung External Quality Assessment Scheme COLON ESP External Quality Assessment Scheme

17 QUALITY ASSESSMENT Oncoteam is accredited for: ISO Standards: For Medical and Clinical Laboratories ISO Quality management
