Forward'Looking-Statements
This presentation contains "forward1looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including,
but not limited to, statements regarding the safety, efficacy, regulatory and clinical progress and therapeutic potential of our product
candidates, including zilucoplan SC, expectations surrounding plans to engage with regulatory agencies and timing thereof, plans and timing for
the presentation of clinical data, expectations surrounding the initiation of a Phase 3 clinical program evaluating zilucoplan SC for the treatment
of gMG and timing thereof, expectations surrounding the nomination of a new neurology indication for zilucoplan SC and timing thereof, our
market opportunities, the anticipated pricing of our product candidates, if approved, including zilucoplan SC, and management’s estimates
about the potential size and characteristics for the patient populations that our product candidates are targeting. All such forward1looking
statements are based on management's current expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those set forth in or implied by such forward1looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include the risks that Ra Pharma’s product candidates, including zilucoplan SC, will not successfully be developed or
commercialized; as well as the other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in Ra Pharma’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form
101K, as well as other risks detailed in Ra Pharma’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There can be no assurance
that the actual results or developments anticipated by Ra Pharma will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the
