Forward looking statements 2 This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, clinical trials, collaborations and partnerships, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. securities laws. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.

The role of DKK1 in cancer 6 Tumor CKAP4 Angiogenesis Akt PI3K Cancer cell Cancer cells DKK1 is produced and secreted by cancer cells, and functions on several tumor pathways and nearby immune cells. Enhances the suppressive activity of MDSCs and M2 macrophages. Reduces NK cell activity and T-cell infiltration. Promotes angiogenesis by increasing the number and size of blood vessels. Promotes activation of Akt by direct signaling through CKAP4 and PI3 kinase. Cancer cell DKK1

Activity of sirexatamab (DKN-01) to treat cancer 8 CKAP4 Angiogenesis Akt PI3K Cancer cell Cancer cells Tumor Cancer cell DKK1 Sirexatamab (DKN-01) treatment neutralizes DKK1 and stimulates an immune mediated anti-tumor response. sirexatamab (DKN-01) Activates NK cells, reprograms macrophagesinto the tumor-attacking M1 subtype and promotes T cell infiltration. Reduces MDSCs and tumor suppressive M2 macrophages in the TME. Reduces angiogenesis and inhibits pro-oncogenic PI3K/AKT signaling.
