What we’re about: RNAi Therapeutics
• Harness natural pathway
◦ Catalytic mechanism
◦ Mediated by small interfering RNA
or “siRNA”
• Therapeutic gene silencing
◦ Any gene in genome
◦ Distinct mechanism of action vs. other
drug classes
◦ Unique opportunities for innovative
medicines
• Clinically validated platform
◦ Human POC in multiple programs
– Papers in NEJM and Lancet
A New Class of Innovative Medicines

RNAi therapeutics as genetic medicines
• In 2011: 5 Key products in clinical
development through 2015
• Expect to greatly exceed 2011 guidance ◦ 8 in Clinic
◦ 2 in Phase 3
◦ 6-7 with Human POCs
Product characteristics

#2: Reproducible and Modular Platform Risk-Mitigating Development Strategy Applied Across Programs
1
Genetically
validated, liver-
expressed target
gene
• Liver-expressed targets involved in
disease with high unmet need and
validated through human genetics
• Delivery with GalNAc conjugate
platform
2 Biomarker for POC
in Phase 1
• Blood- or urine-based biomarkers
with strong disease correlation
• Establish dose/regimen for late-
stage development
3 Definable path to
approval and
market
• Clinical development plans with
focused trial size and established
endpoints
• Definable value for payers
