3 Five Prime s Unique Platform: Screening a Library of the Extracellular Proteome to Identify Novel Targets and Therapeutics Library of > 5700 Extracellular Proteins Proprietary Screens Protein Therapeutics Secreted Factors Cell-based Screens Antibodies Cell Surface Receptors/Ligands In Vivo Screens Soluble Extracellular Domains Receptor-Ligand Matching Soluble Extracellular Domains 3

4 in vivo Screening Platform: Rapid in vivo Protein Production System (RIPPS ) DNA RIPPS Tumor Monitor Efficacy Inject DNA encoding protein of interest DNA instructs liver to make protein Protein distributed in circulation The RIPPS system bypasses the need for protein production to obtain rapid in vivo proof of concept. ECD-Fc, secreted factors, and even antibodies can be RIPPS ed Sustainable levels of protein in circulation for weeks after a single injection. Ideal for screening novel genes and hypothesis-driven targets, as well as early validation of hits from parallel in vitro screens Typically screen 10 mice per DNA construct 4

5 RIPPS Screening has Been Highly Successful for Discovering Targets In Multiple Indications Partner Indication Results Fibrosis Related Conditions 4 claimed targets Muscle atrophy 1 claimed target FPT only Oncology 2 targets validated, IND s on schedule for 2017,

6 The FivePrime Immunome Library is a Subset of the Total Library and Includes Immune Regulatory Proteins FivePrime Immunome : ~700 potential immune-regulatory proteins based on structure, phylogeny and/or expression Ig domain containing proteins ITIM/ITAM/ITSM domain containing TNF family members Expression on immune cells Prioritized by cell type (CD8, CD4, monocytes, NK, macrophages) Prioritized by narrowness of expression VISTA TIM3 B7H3 B7H4 PDL1 PDL2 PD1 LAG3 Discovery Strategy: Identify therapeutic targets by screening the immunome library in vivo in mouse tumor models Screen across multiple tumor models Screen ligands and extracellular domain of receptors (Fused to Fc of IgG) Rank and prioritize hits for follow-up with recombinant protein or antibodies 6

7 Multiple Tumor Models Were Chosen for Screening to Capture the Diversity Associated with Human Cancer RNAseq profiling and gene signature CD3 IHC 4T1 CT26 MC38 The immune cell repertoire and immunohistochemistry varies among mouse tumor types 7

8 A Multi-Pronged Approach for Identifying Novel Immuno-Oncology Targets CT26 and MC38 Model subcutaneous colon cancer models Sensitive to traditional checkpoint inhibitors (low bar models) Can we reprogram the immunosuppressive environment? Orthotopic 4T1 model in combination with anti-pd-1 Insensitive to traditional IO therapeutics, including anti-pd-1 (high bar model) High MDSC populations, limited TILs - Ability to impact multiple IO mechanisms Can we make a resistant model sensitive to anti-pd-1 therapy? TC-1 in combination with vaccine based approach Limited TILs Vaccine activates tumor antigen-specific T cells Vaccination sensitizes model to co-stimulatory & co-inhibitory molecules Can we identify targets that combine with tumor antigen-specific therapy? 8

14 Summary Of RIPPS Screens The immunome library of ~700 immune related proteins was screened in 4 models Inhibitors and stimulators of tumor growth were identified Many hits were common across multiple models Suggests possible broad therapeutic application Magnitude of efficacy correlated with immune profile If high suppressive signature in model (e.g. 4T1) low efficacy If high TIL signature in model high efficacy Unique hits were observed in each model May reflect distinct therapeutic applications for subtype indications Multiple hits have moved into validation and development programs CD80-Fc Anti-GITR agonist Ab 14
