2 CytRx Safe Harbor Statement THIS PRESENTATION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED IN THE FORWARD- LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF THE RISK FACTORS DISCUSSED IN CYTRX REPORTS ON FILE WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE REPORTS ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND ON FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,

3 CytRx Investment Highlights Proprietary LADR TM Drug Generation Platform LADR TM (Linker-Activated Drug Release) Technology concentrates drug release at the tumor, potentially minimizing systemic exposure Create novel oncology therapies utilizing LADR TM technology with Ultra High Potency drug payloads Late-stage, technology-validating lead drug candidate Entered into exclusive worldwide license with NantCell Inc. for aldoxorubicin, CytRx s lead anti-cancer drug conjugate Strategic investment and milestones of up to $356 million in addition to royalties Aldoxorubicin, an albumin-binding drug conjugate of doxorubicin, has been tested in over 600 cancer patients 2

5 LADR TM Technology: A Potential Breakthrough in Cancer Drugs Targeting Ability Active and passive tumor targeting strategies Cleavable Linker Chemistries for controlled extra- or intra-cellular release of drug Drug Payload Ultra-high potency cytotoxic agents Cancer Drug Shortcomings LADR TM Technology Advantages Limited therapeutic index Prolonged drug exposure Off-target toxic effects Allows drug to accumulate in the tumor Linker reduces release in healthy cells Limited efficacy Ability to deliver drug payloads that are x more potent than standard anti-cancer agents Drug resistance LADR TM conjugates can evade traditional drug resistance mechanism 4

6 Albumin as a Drug Delivery Vehicle Albumin Most abundant protein in human blood plasma Transport molecule Long half-life (20 days) Major source of essential amino acids ( fuel ) for cancer cells Localizes at tumor 5

7 Mechanism of LADR Conjugates Cytotoxic Agent Linker Albumin 2 1 Cytotoxic Agent Linker Rapid and specific binding to circulating albumin 3 Drug-linker conjugate is infused 4 Tumor cells Linker dissolves in the acidic (low ph) environment, releasing the drug payload Albumin transports drug to the tumor and surrounding microenvironment 6

8 Why Albumin-Binding LADR Conjugates are Superior to Antibody-Drug Conjugates Chemotherapy Albumin-Binding LADR Conjugates Antibody-Drug Conjugates Potential Indications: Broad Not targeted Potential Indications: Broad Targeted: Using albumin, not receptor-based Potential Indications: Limited by target expression Targeted: Specific receptor required Low Potency High Potency High Potency Immune response to therapy: not likely Immune response to therapy: not likely Immune response to therapy: more likely 7

9 Antibody Drug Conjugate Limitation: Which Target? >30 different targets being pursued for solid tumors Target selection is critical. Needs to have greater expression on cancer cells versus healthy cells. Most targets require internalization. Historically only 1-2% of ADC is internalized by the tumor. Br J Cancer Feb 16; 114(4): LADR conjugates bind to a single target: cysteine-34 on serum albumin. Albumin then transports the drug to the tumor resulting in advantageous broader use than a specific ADC. 8

10 LADR TM Drug Discovery Progress >75 rationally-designed LADR conjugates synthesized and evaluated in lead candidates from two distinct classes of compounds entered toxicology studies One or more clinical candidates to be selected in Q

11 Albumin Binding LADR Conjugates: Value Proposition Highly Potent Anti-Cancer Activity Minimized Systemic Toxicity Targeted Delivery and Release of Cancer Killing Compounds 10

12 License with NantCell, Inc. Exclusive worldwide license for aldoxorubicin in all indications NantCell plans to initiate multiple trials with aldoxorubicin in combination with immunotherapy and cell based therapies NantCell is responsible for future development, manufacturing and commercialization $13 M up-front as a strategic investment in CytRx at $6.60 per share split-adjusted, representing a 92% premium to the then current stock price Up to $343 M in potential milestones for regulatory approvals and commercial milestones Increasing double-digit royalties for soft tissue sarcomas Increasing single-digit royalties for all other indications 11

13 Aldoxorubicin Expanded Development NantCell is expanding aldoxorubicin s use by combining it with immunotherapies and cell based treatments Jan. 18: Commenced Ph. 1b/2 clinical trial in metastatic pancreatic cancer Feb. 18: Initiated Ph. 1b/2 clinical trial in advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck or non-small cell lung Triple negative breast cancer clinical trial planned to begin in 2018 Pancreatic Cancer Squamous Cell Carcinoma Triple-Negative Breast Cancer 3 rd leading cause of cancer related deaths Only 8% of patients will survive more than five years SCC represents 25-30% of all lung cancers Head & Neck SCC is the 7 th most common cancer globally 15-20% of all breast cancers are triplenegative Approximately every 30 minutes, a woman in the USA is diagnosed with TNBC 12
