Forward-Looking Statements

Q1 2019 Medicenna Corporate Overview

Certain statements in this presentation are “forward-looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always using words or phrases such as “expect”, “seek”, “endeavour”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, or stating that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will occur or be taken, or achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements”.

Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are made that involve a number of risks and uncertainties which would cause actual results or events to differ materially from those presently anticipated. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are made and involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. A number of factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in the public filings made by Medicenna with the applicable securities commissions in Canada, including the Annual Information Form dated June 26, 2018. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These factors should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this document are based upon what Medicenna currently believes to be reasonable assumptions, Medicenna cannot assure prospective investors that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Medicenna does not have any obligation to advise any person if it becomes aware of any inaccuracy in or omission from any forward-looking statement, nor does it intend, or assume any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.

Subcutaneous administration• Subcutaneous MDNA109-Fc is an advantageous administration approach for a future immunotherapy drug• Checkpoint inhibitors, Proleukin and competitor IL-2 therapies (NKTR-214, ALKS 4230) all require IV infusion, with

lengthy administration and monitoring time in the clinic• Subcutaneous administration offers fast and convenient administration that is typically preferred by patients for

common targeted cancer therapies (Stoner, 2014, PMID: 25015302; Jin, 2015, PMID: 26170642)

C57BL/6 mice implanted with 3 x 105 B16F10 cells subcutaneously in the right flank. Tumors were allowed to grow for 7 days prior to the initiation of the study. Average tumor volume was 70 mm3 when the animals were randomized. Treatment started on day 7. MDNA109 and IL2 were administered daily; MDNA109-Fc was administered twice weekly.
