BackBeat Cardiac Neuromodulation Therapy (CNT) Overview Bioelectronic therapy that immediately, substantially and chronically lowers blood pressure (BP) while simultaneously modulating Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Mimics effects of multiple medications by reducing preload, afterload and sympathetic tone Can be delivered using standard rhythm management device hardware (such as dual chamber pacemakers) Applicable to wide range of hypertensive patients including Isolated Systolic Hypertension Hypertensive patients who are also indicated for a pacemaker Over 70% of pacemaker patients have hypertension Uncontrolled hypertensive patients 1
BackBeat CNT Clinical Benefits Programmable: Blood Pressure reduction is adjustable Immediate response Substantial reduction in Blood Pressure Sustained effect High responder rate Broad applicability All subgroups including ISH Wide range of initial blood pressure Pacemaker and non-pacemaker population 2
Change in Sistolic BP (mmhg) BackBeat CNT is Programmable and Adjustable Reduction in Blood Pressure Can be Titrated by Modifying Therapy Parameters as Needed Changes in Systolic Blood Pressure 0-5 -10-15 -20-25 Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4 * * * * * P< 0.01 Acute clinical study (N=18) treated with 4 different sets of BackBeat CNT parameters demonstrates control of the reduction in blood pressure 3
BackBeat CNT MODERATO I Study Design Patients with Persistent Hypertension (office BP > 150mmHg) despite 2 or more anti-hypertensive medications and an indication for a Pacemaker One-month pacemaker only run-in phase Primary safety and efficacy evaluation at 3 months post BackBeat CNT activation; follow-up to 2 years Informed Consent Pacemaker Treatment Phase BackBeat CNT Efficacy Evaluation Screening & Baseline N=35 YES Activate BackBeat CNT Therapy 3 Months Follow Up BP criteria? Avg > 150 mmhg YES One month with pacing only BP criteria? Avg >140mmHg N=27 NO Withdraw from Study Moderato system Implant NO Optional Activation of CNT Therapy N=8 YES NO 3 Months Follow up Withdraw from Study 4

BackBeat CNT Program Update BackBeat CNT enables immediate, substantial and sustained lowering of blood pressure 2-year data from European MODERATO I study demonstrates significant and sustained efficacy of BackBeat CNT Study met the safety endpoint. In addition, the safety data suggests improvement in cardiac function BackBeat CNT and Moderato IPG submitted for CE mark Randomized, double-blind MODERATO II study to further substantiate benefit of therapy: Cohort I: European initial cohort (~50 patients) results expected Q2 2019 Cohort II: Global, multicenter cohort (170 patients) enrollment starts in Q4 2018 10
