Q2 2018 results

Encouraging clinical data emerging from several Phase II trials with bemcentinib

Advanced Lung Cancer (NSCLC): First efficacy endpoint met in combination with KEYTRUDA

  • 9First stage fully recruited and efficacy threshold to trigger start of second stage surpassed
  • 9Encouraging results observed in PD-L1 negative patients (interim data presented at ASCO)

Advanced leukaemia (R/R AML/MDS): Monotherapy efficacy in a hard to treat patient population

  • 9Superior response rates observed in biomarker subgroup analysis, presented at ASCO and EHA
  • 9Evidence of immune activation following bemcentinib monotherapy

Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC): Negative for AXL & PD-L1, efficacy endpoint not met

Biomarker programme: Correlation reported with patient benefit

  • 9Tissue: AXL IHC method reported encouraging correlation data
  • 9Blood-based biomarkers: Low plasma soluble AXL predicts patient benefit in R/R AML/MDS

Pipeline development: AXL antibody preparing for phase 1 clinical trial

Corporate: Cash position NOK441m

Bemcentinib: selectively inhibits AXL kinase, this prevents immune evasion, restores sensitivity to chemo therapy and blocks spread.

AXL inhibition as cornerstone for cancer therapy: bemcentinib proof-of-concept Phase II clinical trials

H2 2018 News flow

Sep 2018: World Conference of Lung Cancer (WCLC) Update on BerGenBio lung cancer trials

Oct 2018: European Society for Medical Oncology meeting (ESMO) Biomarker update

Dec 2018: BGB149 Phase I clinical trial (anticipated)

Nov 2018: Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) meeting (anticipated)

Dec 2018: American Society for Hematology (ASH) meeting (anticipated)

Advanced Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Lung Cancer

12

The largest cancer killer globally

  • ¾> 1.8 million new cases/yr worldwide1
  • ¾> 1.5 million lung cancer deaths/yr worldwide1

85% cases are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), mostly:

  • ¾Adenocarcinoma (40% of all lung cancers)3
  • ¾Squamous cell carcinoma (25-30% of all lung cancers)3

Drug therapy is the only option for most patients, with little benefit:

  • ¾> 50% of cases detected late and can thus not be treated with surgery alone2
  • ¾5 year survival < 5% for cases detected late2

Large growing market driven by targeted therapies & immuneoncology

  • ¾> \$35bn global lung cancer market (in 2023)4
  • ¾NSCLC has 80% share (of total lung cancer market )4

Potential for bemcentinib to become a cornerstone therapy for lung cancer (NSCLC)

  • • Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer-related death in developed countries
  • • Strategy to position bemcentinib as the cornerstone of treatment for NSCLC by combining with standard of care therapies

  • 9Combination with Chemo drugs

  • 9Combination with Targeted drugs
  • 9Combination with KEYTRUDA

The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC: KEYTRUDA emerged as the SOC for PD-L1 positive NSCLC

(1) KEYNOTE-001: Garon et al, NEJM (2015); previously treated NSCLC patients (2) KEYNOTE-024: Reck NEJM (2016) (3) KEYNOTE-010: Herbst Lancet (2016) * randomised control with SOC chemo and ** PD-L1 expression given as tumor proportion score; reference: Garon NEJM (2016), Patient disposition: Fugure S4; response according to biomarker status (previously treated patients only):Table S7

Strategy to develop bemcentinib in combination with KEYTRUDA in NSCLC patients, with the objective to enlarge the addressable patient population and offer a chemo free combination option

BGBC008 interim data reported at ASCO 2018

Encouraging interim efficacy data

  • 9 8 out of 15 patients reported tumour shrinkage by radiographic evaluation (ASCO)
  • 9 4 PRs (RECIST v1.1; June 26th announcement)
  • 9 Durable responses, many patients remain on study.

Results particularly promising in PD-L1 negative patients

9 Encouraging efficacy in 7 PD-L1 negative patients (ASCO):

¾ 2 PRs (2/7 = 29%) ¾4 SDs (4/7 = 57%)

¾1 PD (1/7 = 14%)

Data subject to ongoing analysis

Comprehensive analysis of stage 1 will be presented at future medical congresses

Increasing the number of cancer patients who respond to KEYTRUDA without combining with chemo is a major opportunity

Ca 40%1 of patients are PDL-1 negative

PDL-1 negative patients do not benefit from KEYTRUDA monotherapy

Opportunity to increase addressable market by adding bemcentinib

Data subject to ongoing analysis. Comprehensive analysis of stage 1 will be presented at future medical congresses

Advanced leukaemia (R/R AML/MDS): Monotherapy efficacy in a hard to treat patient population

Relapsed/refractory AML & MDS – Blood cancer, difficult to treat malignancies, predominantly elderly frail patient population.

$$
\bullet \bullet \bullet

BerGenBio

Evaluation of bemcentinib as a single agent and in combination with SOC low dose chemotherapy (LDCT) in relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML or MDS patients

BGBC003: all comer, R/R AML or high-risk MDS patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy

Bemcentinib +/- LDCT

Sub-group analysis: Efficacy according to plasma soluble AXL (sAXL; and others)

Strategy for randomised and pivotal trials

Programme key points

  • 9 4 arm study:
  • ¾MDS – 2L monotherapy
  • ¾ AML
    • •2L monotherapy
    • •1L/2L combo with azacitidine
    • •1L/2L combo with decitabine
  • 9Monotherapy efficacy demonstrated
  • 9 Predictive biomarker candidate identified: sAXL, measured in blood (non-invasive liquid biopsy)
  • 9 Immune activation observed following bemcentinib monotherapy

ASCO: Strong efficacy seen in AML patients with low plasma soluble AXL (sAXL)

ASCO: Strong efficacy seen in MDS patients with low plasma soluble AXL (sAXL)

ASCO: Superior efficacy in patients with low sAXL

ORR in R/R AML & MDS patients Bemcentinib compared to another experimental drug

Soluble AXL biomarker (sAXL): measured in blood (non-invasive liquid biopsy)

Venetoclax: oral BCL-2 inhibitor approved for CLL. Received recent attention for encouraging monotherapy efficacy in R/R AML unfit for intensive. Breakthrough designation for 1L AML in combo with LDCT; not approved in R/R AML

23

AXL inhibition as cornerstone for cancer therapy: bemcentinib proof-of-concept Phase II clinical trials

Pipeline update: Translating leadership in understanding AXL biology into a diversified portfolio of novel AXL inhibitors

BGB149: AXL function blocking antibody drug

  • ü First in class anti AXL monoclonal antibody
  • ü Phase I clinical trial anticipated YE'18
  • ü Wholly owned asset
  • ü Board and long IP coverage
  • ü Potent molecule and differentiated clinical position

BGB601 (ADCT-601): AXL Antibody Drug Conjugate

AXL antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC)

Targeted killing of AXL expressing tumour cells

Outlicensed to ADC Therapeutics (Switzerland)

Begin of clinical trial will trigger milestone payment by ADCT to BerGenBio

AACR (April '18)1:

Preclinical data on safety, tolerability and in vivo antitumour activity demonstrated (renal, breast, pancreatic), supports anticipated clinical development

Financial review: Cash position strengthened

Rune SkeieCFO

Operating profit (loss)

• Q1'18 increase in operating loss associated with increased social security tax provision (no cash effect) related to share price and share option scheme (NOK 8,4 million)

Operating expenses Q2 2018

  • •Effective organisation
  • • 77,3% (YTD 71,2%) of operating expenses in Q2 2018 attributable to R&D activities

•Private placement completed in April 2018 - gross fund raise NOK 187,5 million

Cash position

  • •Gross fund raise NOK 187,5 million completed in April – strengthening cash position
  • •Shareholder base broadened with addition of US-based specialist healthcare funds
  • Cash position gives runway to deliver key clinical read outs on ongoing clinical studies
  • •Cash runway into 2020 based on current burn rate

Summary & Outlook: A number of significant milestones expected in H2 2018 and 2019

Richard Godfrey

CEO

Significant milestones expected in 2018 & 2019

Selective AXL inhibitors: a novel cornerstone approach to target immune evasive, drug resistant and metastatic cancers

Promising interim clinical data from broad phase II programme with bemcentinib, selective AXL inhibitor Interim data from ongoing phase II trials supporting proof of concept for bemcentinib to become a cornerstone of cancer therapy

Positioned to deliver significant value inflection points over the next 18 months

  • •Key read-outs from phase II trial PoC programme with bemcentinib in NSCLC, AML/MDS and melanoma
  • •Start first in man phase I clinical trial with BGB149, anti AXL antibody
  • •Start randomised phase II programme with bemcentinib in target indications
