2 Unmet Need in HER2-Expressing Cancers HER2-targeted agents demonstrate the power of targeted therapy to dramatically improve outcomes in selected patients Despite this, medical need persists in a number of settings HER2 High gastroesophageal cancer after initial HER2-targeted therapy HER2 High breast cancer after multiple prior HER2-targeted regimens HER2 High colorectal and other cancers with no approved HER2-targeted agents Lower HER2-expressing cancers Challenge: overcome resistance and control disease without undue toxicity 2

3 ZW25: Azymetric Bispecific HER2-Targeted Antibody HER2 ECD2 HER2 ECD4 Designed using the Azymetric bispecific platform Biparatopic simultaneously binds two HER2 epitopes ECD4 (trastuzumab binding domain) ECD2 (pertuzumab binding domain) Unique binding results in novel mechanisms of action 3
