Executive Summary

The acquisition of Amplia’s Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) pipeline

represents a compelling opportunity for Innate Immunotherapeutics

to rebuild shareholder value

Multiple “shots on goal” – two molecules and multiple indications

Streamlined pathway to Phase II in both cancer and fibrosis with a

capital effective strategy that is rapid and low risk

Multiple significant value inflection points in the next 12-18 months

Experienced drug development team and strong academic partners,

backed by the Cancer CRC (Australia) and Cancer Research UK

(CRUK)

Amplia team members also bring relevant experience / networks to

review cancer development options for MIS416

• Focal Adhesion Kinase is frequently up-

regulated in many cancer types

• Signals functions that are important for cancer

development and metastases

– Adhesion / Migration / Invasion /

Proliferation / Survival

• Co-opted by cancer to assist spread and to

develop resistance to therapy

• FAK-dependent signalling drives elevated levels

of regulatory T-Cells which in turn suppress the

all important anti-tumour T-cell response

• Role in fibrosis has impact in both “fibrotic

cancers” (e.g. pancreatic/ovarian), as well as

non-cancer fibrosis (e.g. lung/liver fibrosis)

FAKMigration

InvasionImmune

Suppression

Proliferation

& Survival

1) FAK has a fundamental role in cancer. Blocking FAK

opens the door for new combination therapies using

existing approved chemotherapeutics

2) FAK plays a major role suppressing the immune

attack on tumours. Blocking FAK allows immuno-

oncology drugs (e.g. checkpoint inhibitors) to work in

tough cancers like pancreatic cancer

3) The planned clinical development pathway creates

the opportunity for multiple indications in both cancer

and non-cancer applications

Diagram adapted from Symeonides et. al. J Immunother Cancer. 2017; 5: 17.

Drugs that target FAK are

novel because they target

the tumour micro-

environment, the supportive

infrastructure that enables

cancer cells to “hide” from

the immune system

Inhibiting FAK appears to

unlock the potency of

checkpoint inhibitor drugs

(i.e.PD-1/PD-L1, CTLA-4),

particularly in fibrotic

cancers like pancreatic

cancer.

Fibrotic cancers

Fibrotic cancers have a

very different immunologic

profile. Fibrotic cancers

use the tumour micro-

environment as part of

their defence against the

immune system.

The biggest unmet need in cancer therapy is pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is the epitome of a fibrotic tumour that can

potentially be attacked with a FAK inhibitor in combination with

other immuno-oncology therapies.

Pancreatic Cancer:

• worst survival outcome of the 21 most common cancers

• death rates are increasing while most other cancers declining

• predicted to overtake breast cancer as the 4th most common

cancer killer by 2030

FAK is a proven important target in immuno-oncology

Inhibiting FAK decreases immunosuppressive cell

populations in tumours and may enable immunotherapy to

work in cancer populations that have a generally poor

response to checkpoint inhibitor drugs

• Novel small molecule FAK inhibitors (FAKi)

AMP945 – Highly selective

AMP886 – Highly differentiated, multi-action

• Excellent potency and selectivity, very promising pharmacokinetics and physical-chemistry properties

• Expected superior safety profile in IO combo therapy compared to immuno-stimulatory modalities

• Scale-up (Kg scale) chemistry already developed in partnership with an international

commercial contract manufacturer

– Including methods that are suitable for GMP production of clinical trial material

– Highly cost effective common synthetic routes for both molecules

• Strong intellectual property position

– National phase filing in commercially important jurisdictions

• AMP945 has been extensively evaluated in both prevention models and treatment models, including on

a comparative basis with other FAK inhibitors under development

• Opens the potential both in fibrotic cancers, but also other chronic fibrotic diseases

• Established target but still relatively little commercial congestion around novel FAKi compounds

• Increased interest in the use of FAK inhibitors in the immuno-oncology setting as acombination therapy (Verastem-Pfizer partnership)

• Verastem (NASDAQ: VSTM, Market Cap USD $123m) is our nearest comparator

• Our differentiation is:

• AMP945 is extremely selective / “clean” for FAK inhibition compared with competitive products –important in immuno-oncology combo applications to maximise safety

• AMP866 has useful multi-target properties for chemotherapy combination use

Capital requirements

• Current balance sheet sufficient to complete remaining Phase 1

enabling preclinical activities

• Running ‘virtually’ to minimise cashburn during preclinical and Phase 1

development with team build-up occurring pre Phase II

• Projected ~AUD $5m requirement to complete initial human studies and be

Phase II ready (Phase II planning assumes US IND)

• Completion of a capital raise targeted by end Q3/2018

• In parallel, several business development discussions with global

pharmaceutical companies

– Potential collaborations (pre-clinical and clinical)

– Cancer and Fibrosis
