CEO STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

With increasing clinical data the possible role for Ygalo® in helping patients with myeloma becomes clearer

In December 2017, we presented the final data, including long-term follow up with survival data, from our phase II study O-12-M1. The results are strong, in comparison with other clinical trials with different drugs in the same patient population. Ygalo® demonstrates long survival benefit for patients that have suffered disease progression while on therapy. In addition, the patients suffered few side-effects associated with poor quality-of-life that normally are seen with other myeloma drugs. The targeting feature of Ygalo® clearly contributed to benefits in terms of efficacy as well as tolerability which was positively received by physicians at the American Association of Hematology meeting in Atlanta.

We also showed the first interim results from the HORIZON study where patients not only have suffered from disease progression in conjunction with early therapies but also subsequently have stopped responding to the drugs pomalidomide and/or daratumumab. The first results were very positive and we are looking forward to report more results from HORIZON during 2018 when we have followed the patients for a longer time after the initiation of therapy.

Myeloma is a cancer with no cure – the late-stage patient population is growing rapidly

The expected survival for patients with myeloma is continuing to rise but there is still no sign of a cure. As a consequence of improvements in expected survival, the late-stage patient population grows

because of increased survival rates in earlier lines of therapy. During 2017 the number of patients in the USA that received treatment in late-stage disease grew by more than 40% compared to 2016, despite the fact that the number of newly diagnosed myeloma patients continued to grow by less than 1%. This fast-growing patient population is the one we aim to help with Ygalo® based on data from the OCEAN study.

Our clinical trials

The phase II study HORIZON develops in accordance with plan and our ambition is to present updated data in summer 2018 at scientific conferences. The phase I/II study ANCHOR will be initiated in the near future in line with our current plans. During 2018, our primary focus will be to secure patient recruitment in OCEAN which will require a significant amount of effort to ensure that we hit the target to launch Ygalo® during 2020. OCEAN also develops according to plan and we expect to reveal top-line results from this study during the summer of 2019. In total, our clinical studies are now conducted at roughly 100 hospitals in Europe, USA and Israel.

Objectives for our continued development

The objective for Oncopeptides – assuming positive clinical data – is to bring Ygalo® as an approved product, both in the USA and in Europe, to patients for the treatment of late-stage myeloma in 2020. For this purpose, Oncopeptides will be expanding its European operation and commencing the early stages of a US organization.

Goals 2018:

• Secure sufficient patient recruitment in OCEAN to enable the submission of market authorization applications in the USA as well as Europe early 2020
• Build the foundation for medical relations and commercial both in Europe and the US to ensure a sufficiently strong base at the time of clinical results from OCEAN to meet the drug launch time-line in 2020
• Plan further studies in multiple myeloma considering positive OCEAN data, in order to also progress to the treatment of patients in the earlier stages of the disease.
• Plan the first clinical studies with Ygalo® in cancers outside of myeloma

Once again, we want to thank the shareholders for their trust and support of Oncopeptides. 2017 was a very good year for us and we will continue to work hard in the coming year to enable continued positive value creation for our shareholders.

YGALO® AND MULTIPLE MYELOMA OVERVIEW

About Ygalo®

Ygalo® is a next generation alkylator treatment that targets cancer cells through a mechanism called peptidase potentiation. While traditional alkylators target the bone marrow (which causes side effects) and cancer cells (which treats the disease) equally well, Ygalo® targets the cancer cells 50x better than the bone-marrow cells compared to traditional alkylators. This is expected to result in a better treatment of the cancer without corresponding increase in side effects.

Ygalo® is being studied in clinical trials for the treatment of a rare hematological cancer - multiple myeloma. After the recently finalized phase II-study O-12-M1 there is two trials ongoing, HORIZON and OCEAN. The first patient is expected to be dosed within short in the clinical study called ANCHOR. The purpose is to further investigate Ygalo® in multiple myeloma in combination with other drugs. See later sections for details around the four clinical studies.

About multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a hematological cancer of the B-cells (antibody producing cells) with no cure. Currently, the median overall survival for newly diagnosed patients is roughly 5 years and improving.*

Today, roughly 170,000 patients live with multiple myeloma in the EU and the US while 57,000 patients are newly diagnosed and 26,000 patients die from the disease annually.* The underlying increase in the number of multiple myeloma patients is just over 1% per year with the aging population being the main driver of growth. However, the increase in late-stage multiple myeloma patients that Ygalo® is focused on is more than 10% per year, due to improvements in earlier lines of therapy (i.e. more patients than ever before survive the first years with the disease – that remains incurable - and become late-stage multi-refractory patients with a significant medical need for further treatment options).

Treating multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is mainly treated through five different treatment modalities (see next page). Due to the high mutation frequency of myeloma cells, patients have several active cancers (cancer clones) at the same time with different protein expression patterns. Because of this heterogeneity of the disease in each patient, broad spectrum agents are the backbone in multiple myeloma treatment. In the case of the new targeted agents, they will almost exclusively be used in combination with broad spectrum agents to ensure that all the patient's cancer cells get appropriately treated. Immunooncological compounds have so far had limited success in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Patient segments in multiple myeloma

In the table below, the main patient segments in multiple myeloma are detailed. The main segments are 'Newly Diagnosed', 'Relapsed and Relapsed Refractory', 'Late-Stage Relapsed Refractory' and 'Quad- and Penta-Refractory' patients. An outline of what successful clinical results look like in the different patient segments can be seen in the table below. As shown, treatment results deteriorate quickly once a patient starts to become refractory. This is consequently the patient population with the largest medical need and is the focus in the clinical development of Ygalo®. As mentioned previously, this is also the fastest growing patient segment due to recent advances in the treatment of the disease in earlier lines of therapy. In the table on the next page, the patient groups that the studies HORIZON and OCEAN target are shown by the study logotypes.

When evaluating clinical data in multiple myeloma several standard measures are used:

• Progression Free Survival (PFS) measures for how long the cancer is not growing from the start of the treatment (when the cancer begins growing again the patient has relapsed in his/her disease)
• Overall Survival (OS) measures for how long the patient survives from the start of the treatment
• Overall Response Rate (ORR) measures the number of patients (%) that have lost 50% or more of the tumor mass from the start of the treatment
• Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) measures the number of patients (%) that have lost 25% or more of the tumor mass from the start of the treatment. CBR is only used as a measurement in late-stage multiple myeloma patients where such a result is also seen as success, at the stage where the disease has become very difficult to treat
• Duration of Response (DOR) measures for how long the cancer does not progress in a patient that responded to the treatment (i.e., for how long the cancer does not grow in those patients that got rid of at least 50% of the tumor mass as measured from the time point that the patient was a responder to the treatment)

PATIENT SEGMENT	MEDIAN PFS	MEDIAN OS	ORR	MEDIAN DOR
Newly Diagnosed	20-50 months	5 years	70-100%	20-50 months
Relapsed and Relapsed Refractory	15-50 months	3 years	60-90%	15-50 months

Clinical data in different multiple myeloma patient segments

In the graphics above, more details around the patient segments and recent clinical data are shown. The graphics also include a rough visual outline of the relative sizes of the different patient segments in multiple myeloma over time from diagnosis.

The first graphic shows the two main patient segments: 'Newly Diagnosed' and 'Relapsed and Relapsed Refractory' patients. Almost all clinical trials that are in 'Relapsed and Relapsed Refractory' patients are in patients that have relatively recently undergone initial therapy as newly diagnosed patients. This is reflected in the clinical data seen to the right of the graph. There are a very large number of trials in 'Relapsed and Relapsed Refractory' patients so only a representative sample of clinical trials are shown, for reference.

The second graphic shows the sub-population of patients that match the strict definition that FDA and EMA use in their label texts for 'Late-Stage Relapsed and Refractory patients'¹ . As shown in the second graphic most patients become 'Late-Stage

Relapsed and Refractory patients' at some point in time but for some patients it happens very early during their disease and for others late in their disease. There are a limited number of trials in this patient population and to the right of the second graph those reference trials are shown. Treatment results deteriorate quickly in this 'Late-Stage Relapsed and Refractory' patient population compared to the earlier stage patients shown above. Consequently, these are patients with a significant unmet medical need. In our study OCEAN, Ygalo® is compared head-to-head with pomalidomide, the current standard of care in this patient population.

The last graphic shows the sub-population of patients that have received treatment as a 'Late-Stage Relapsed and Refractory patient' and subsequently have also become refractory to that treatment. These patients are referred to as 'Quadand Penta-Refractory Patients'. This is the study population for HORIZON. To the right of this graph, the only - to our knowledge – large trial in this patient population is shown for reference. Our study HORIZON will be assessed in comparison with these data.

1) 2+ prior lines of therapy, prior exposure to both IMiDs and proteasome inhibitors and disease progression while on therapy or within 60 days of last dose.

Clinical Development Plan

We are currently running two clinical trials and planning to run a third, to fully characterize Ygalo® in multi-refractory late-stage multiple myeloma patients: these are respectively OCEAN, HORIZON and ANCHOR. Recently, we ran a clinical phase I and II trial, O-12-M1, in 'Late-Stage Relapsed Refractory' patients where the final results were presented at the annual American Hematology Meeting (ASH) in December 2017

OCEAN is a phase III clinical trial and a head-tohead comparison between Ygalo® + dexamethasone (steroid) and the current standard of care in 'Late-Stage Relapsed Refractory' multiple myeloma patients: pomalidomide + dexamethasone. The trial is a multicenter, pivotal study and is being run in Europe, USA and Israel. The study started in June 2017 and the top-line results are expected summer 2019.

The OCEAN clinical trial protocol has undergone Special Protocol Assessment with the FDA and has been discussed and agreed in detail with European authorities.

The primary read-out in OCEAN is a comparison between Ygalo® and pomalidomide regarding PFS (Progression Free Survival). This comparison can simplistically result in three different outcomes i.e. that Ygalo® is superior, non-inferior or inferior to pomalidomide. As seen in the graphic to the right, the non-inferior outcome can in turn be broken down in different scenarios with stronger or weaker data to support marketing efforts of Ygalo®. OCEAN has been powered to show superiority of Ygalo® over pomalidomide based on historical data for the two compounds (see figure on page 6 – 'Late-Stage Relapsed Refractory').

A superiority outcome is expected to result in approval both in the US and the EU. A noninferiority result is expected to result in approval in the EU and a discussion with the FDA in the US regarding the totality of data from all clinical studies in RRMM. In a non-inferiority scenario, HORIZON data in pomalidomide refractory latestage RRMM patients will be a key point for the case to receive approval also in the US.

HORIZON

HORIZON is a phase II clinical trial where Ygalo® + dexamethasone is being studied in multiple myeloma patients that are refractory to pomalidomide and/or daratumumab (i.e. 'Quadand Penta-refractory' patients). The trial is being conducted in Italy, Spain and the USA. In January 2017 we announced that the first patient was dosed and we presented interim data at ASH in December 2017. Final results are expected to be presented late 2018.

ANCHOR

ANCHOR is a phase I/II combination study where Ygalo® + dexamethasone is used in combination with bortezomib or daratumumab. First patient is expected to be dosed in March, and last patient out from the study is estimated in Q1 2020.

O-12-M1

O-12-M1 was a phase I and II clinical trial in 'Late-Stage Relapsed Refractory' multiple myeloma patients. In O-12-M1 we established the dose and dose modification schedule for Ygalo® as well as the activity of Ygalo® in 'Late-Stage Relapsed Refractory' multiple myeloma patients.

Final O-12-M1 data were presented at ASH in December 2017.

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

The Company is also exploring the possibility to use Ygalo® in conjunction with for example, stem-cell transplantation in multiple myeloma, for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as well as for the treatment of amyloidosis.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Revenue

Net sales amounted to 0.0 (0.0) MSEK during the quarter and 0.0 (0.0) MSEK for the whole year.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter amounted to 66.7 (51.1) MSEK and to 247.6 (114.5) MSEK for the year 2017. This relates primarily to research and development costs according to plan.

Research and development costs

During the quarter, research and development costs increased to 52.8 (35.2) MSEK and to 197.8 (89.7) MSEK for the full year. During the fourth quarter, the clinical studies HORIZON and OCEAN continued as well as preparations for initiating the ANCHOR study, which essentially explains the increase in research and development costs.

Marketing and distribution costs

Marketing and distribution costs for the fourth quarter amounted to 6.0 (0.6) MSEK and to 15.2 (0.6) MSEK for the period January to December. These costs are attributable to the continued work to prepare a commercialization strategy for Ygalo®.

Administration costs

During the quarter, administration costs amounted to 7.9 (15.3) MSEK and to 34.7 (24.1) MSEK for the whole year.

Costs for share-based incentive program

The cost for the company's share-based incentive program is included in operating expenses and affected the result for the fourth quarter negatively by 7.5 (6.3) MSEK and for the whole year 2017 negatively by 30.5 (10.3) MSEK.

The cost of 7.5 MSEK for the period consists of a disbursement of provisions for social security contributions of 6.6 MSEK and IFRS 2 classified costs of 0.9 MSEK.

The costs for social security contributions may vary quarterly due to the change in the underlying share price for the current quarter. Related provisions are reported as long- and short-term liabilities.

Earnings

Loss for the period was -66.7 (-51.1) MSEK and - 247.6 (-114.4) MSEK for the period January to December 2017. This corresponds to earnings per share, before and after dilution of -1.68 (-1.84) SEK for the period and -6.44 (-4.88) SEK for the whole year.

Tax

No tax costs were reported for the quarter (-). The group has accumulated losses, as determined in the last tax assessment (year 2015), of 180.3 MSEK. The group's tax-loss carry forwards have not been valued and have not been recognized as a deferred tax asset. These tax-loss carry forwards will be valued only when the group has established a level of earnings that management believes is likely to lead to tax costs.

Cash flow, investment and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities for the fourth quarter amounted to -45.7 (-44.4) MSEK and to -271.5 (-104.3) MSEK for the full year of 2017. This is mainly due to costs related to the expansion of the clinical program. As of December 31st 2017, the recorded prepaid study related expenses amounted to approximately 70 MSEK.

Cash flow from investment activities was 0.0 (-1.1) MSEK for the quarter and -1.5 (-1.1) MSEK for the year 2017.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to 0.0 (80.0) MSEK for the quarter and to 636.8 (143.3) MSEK for the period January to December, when the company raised 695.0 MSEK before issue costs of 58.2 MSEK in connection with the IPO in February 2017.

Cash flow for the quarter was -45.7 (-34.6) MSEK and 363.8 (37.9) MSEK for the whole year. As of December 31st 2017, cash and cash equivalents amounted to 404.1 (40.3) MSEK and equity to 418.0 (26.3) MSEK.

Share-based incentive programs

The purpose of share-based incentive programs is to promote the company's long-term interests by motivating and rewarding the company's senior management, founders, and other co-workers in line with the interest of the shareholders. Oncopeptides has currently five active programs that include part of the management team, certain board members, founders and employees.

In 2013, two option programs were implemented. "Founder Option Program" and "Employee option program 2012/2019" and in 2016 a program "Employee option program 2016/2023" was implemented. For more information about these programs see note 4.18 on pages 27-28 in the Swedish Annual Report 2016 or pages 73-74 in the company's prospectus dated February 7th 2017.

In accordance with a decision by the Shareholder's General Meeting in May 2017, two incentive programs; "Co-worker LTIP 2017" and "Board LTIP 2017" were introduced. For more information about these programs see previous interim report.

Full utilization of issued options and share awards per December 31st 2017, corresponding to 2,631,200 shares, will result in a dilution for shareholders of 6.20 percent. Full utilization of mandated options, corresponding to 4,459,888 shares (i.e. including non-allocated employee options and hedge for social security contributions), will result in a dilution for shareholders of 10.0 percent.

Number of shares allocated employee stock options may entitle to:
- Employee option program 2012/2019	1,354,500
- Founder option program	102,600
- Employee option program 2016/2023	276,300
- Co-worker LTIP 2017	863,000
Total number of shares allocated employee stock options may entitle to:	2,596,400
Number of allocated share awards in program "Board LTIP 2017"	34,800
Total number of shares allocated employee stock options and share awards may entitle to:	2,631,200

KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The company presents in this report certain key performance measures, including one measure that is not defined under IFRS, namely expenses relating to research and development / operating expenses %. The company believes that this ratio is an important complement because it allows for a better evaluation of the company's economic trends. This financial performance measure should not be viewed in isolation or be considered to replace the performance indicators that have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, such performance measure as the company has defined it should not be compared with other performance measures with similar names used by other companies. This is because the above-mentioned performance measure is not always defined in the same manner, and other companies may calculate the differently to Oncopeptides.

Key performance measures

• 1) Earnings per share before dilution are calculated by dividing earnings attributable to shareholders of the parent company by a weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period. Adjustments have been made to the calculation of earnings per share, since preference shares have existed during part of the previous periods. There is no dilution effect for the employee stock option program, as earnings for the periods have been negative.
• 2) Defined by dividing the research and development costs with total operating expenses. The key performance measure helps the users of the financial statements to get a quick opinion on the proportion of the company's expenses that are attributable to the company's core business.

Note 3 Risks and uncertainties in the group and the parent company

Operational risks

Research and drug development up to approved registration is subject to considerable risk and is a capital-intensive process. The majority of all initiated projects will never reach market registration due to the technological risk such as the risk for insufficiency efficacy, intolerable side effects or manufacturing problems. If competing pharmaceuticals capture market share or reach the market faster, or if competing research projects achieve better product profile, the future value of the product portfolio may be lower than expected. The operations may also be impacted negatively by regulatory decisions, such as approvals and price changes.

Financial risk management

Oncopeptides' financial policy governing the management of financial risks has been designed by the board of directors and represents the framework of guidelines and rules in the form of risk mandated and limits for financial activities. The company is primarily affected by foreign exchange risk since the development costs for Ygalo® are mainly paid in USD and EUR.

In accordance with the company's policy for financial risk, the company exchanges cash into USD and EUR in line with entered agreements for the period up to mid-2019 in order to manage currency exposure.

For more information about the group and parent company's financial risk management see note 3 on pages 17-18 in the Swedish Annual Report 2016 or page 112 in the company's prospectus dated February 7th 2017.

Internal factors such as successful management of research projects, and intellectual property rights may affect future results. There are also external conditions, e.g. the economic climate, political changes and competing research projects that may affect Oncopeptides results.
