Forward-looking StatementsThis presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, which are often indicated by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “look forward to,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” "will,” “would” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information available to management only as of the date of this presentation. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the development of our gene therapies, the success of our collaborations, and the risk of cessation, delay or lack of success of any of our ongoing or planned clinical studies and/or development of our product candidates. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, without limitation, risks associated with collaboration arrangements, our and our collaborators’ clinical development activities, regulatory oversight, development of product candidates, product commercialization and intellectual property claims, as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in uniQure’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on July 29, 2019. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

AMT-180: a novel approach to Hemophilia A
Long-term and stable expression
Effective in all HemApatients
Compatible with bypass agents
Comparable with emicizumab
• Hepatocyte-friendly
• Non-thrombogenic
• Sufficient thrombin generation to stop bleeding episodes
• Not neutralized by FVIII inhibitors
• Safe in combination with rFVIIa and/or FEIBA and emicizumab
• Comparable efficacy in HemA with and without inhibitors
Novel Approach
• Product Construct – AAV5 including C7 Promoter and FIX-Super9™
• Super9™ is a proprietary modified FIX that, when activated through normal mechanisms, activates FX independently of FVIII

More effective than replacement therapy
Patients with and without inhibitors
• More stable in plasma
• More efficient uptake
• Better end-organ distribution
• Many Fabry patients develop inhibitors to α-gal replacement therapy
• NAGA is not neutralized by α-gal inhibitors
• No loss of activity due to α-gal inhibitors
AMT-190: a new approach to Fabry disease
Novel Approach
• Product Construct – AAV5 including modified NAGA
• Modified NAGA has therapeutic α-gal activity and gB3 reduction
Non-immunogenic

• CAG repeat expansion in ATXN3 gene
• Ataxin-3 protein acquires toxic properties
• Brain degenerationcerebellum andbrainstem

AMT-150: a gene therapy for SCA3
Cause Damage Symptoms Unmet Need
Novel Approach• AAV5, SCA3 miRNA administered by intrathecal or cisterna magna injection • Leverages HD platform and experience, including miQURE™ gene silencing technology• Potential to be first to market
