Forward Looking Statements
In order to utilize the ‘Safe Harbor’ provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Swedish Orphan Biovitrum is providing the following cautionary statement. This presentation contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Swedish Orphan Biovitrum. By their nature, forward-looking statements and forecasts involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from that expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, the loss or expiration of patents, marketing exclusivity or trade marks; exchange rate fluctuations; the risk that R&D will not yield new products that achieve commercial success; the impact of competition, price controls and price reductions; taxation risks; the risk of substantial product liability claims; the impact of any failure by third parties to supply materials or services; the risk of delay to new product launches; the difficulties of obtaining and maintaining governmental approvals for products; the risk of failure to observe ongoing regulatory oversight; the risk that new products do not perform as we expect; and the risk of environmental liabilities.

Strategic Priorities
1. Near-term focus on growth in key therapeutic areas, with sustainable positive cash flow from operations.
2. Medium-term investments to ensure successful commercialization of our late-stage pipeline.
3. Long-term growth will come organically and through acquisitions in key therapeutic areas.

Mitigating Risk in Drug Development
1. Molecule – What is known about the candidate?
2. Mechanism – How will it achieve its effect? Potency + Specificity
3. Clinical – How established is the clinical design and endpoints? Connected to MoA?
4. Regulatory – How do the regulators understand value and risk for # 1- 3?
5. Commercial – Does the market exist? Who is, or will be there with you?

Kepivance – Head and Neck Cancer
Kepivance Background
23
2008 proprietary product, acquired from Amgen
2013 rights to additional clinical data for Kepivance from Amgen
2005
2004
• Kepivance (palifermin) is a recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor
• Palifermin was developed to reduce the severity and duration of oral mucositis and related clinical sequelae
Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF)
24
KGF is an endogenous protein in the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family stimulating epithelial cells
Kepivance increases epithelial thickness and enhances recovery after injury
Adapted from Sonis * ROS=reactive oxygen species, chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen like oxygen and peroxides

•Pain Narcotic analgesics
•Malnutrition/ Weight Loss PEG feeding tubes and Hospitalization
•Dehydration IV fluids
•Hemorrhage Emergency treatment
•Infections Anti-infectives
Severe Oral Mucositis – A Frequent Treatment Complication of Certain Cancer Therapy
Reference to the symptoms: Miller et al Cancer 47:207-214,1981
Clinical manifestations and treatment approaches
•Breakdown of oral mucosa results in inflammation, pain, and often treatment and activity limiting disability •Tumor location and radiation field the most predictive risk factors
Severe OM
26
Kepivance is indicated to decrease the incidence and duration of severe oral mucositis in patients with hematologic malignancies receiving myelotoxic therapy requiring hematopoietic stem cell support There are approximately 10,000 – 15,000 addressable patients in the US each year
Current Indication: Bone Marrow Transplantation
Kepivance is administered as an intravenous bolus injection

Kepivance in Head and Neck Cancer Our Approach 2013
• High prevalence of Oral Mucositis in Head and Neck cancer patients undergoing Radio-Chemotherapy has and large unmet medical need
• Recently acquired Kepivance data in Head and Neck cancer are compelling • Revisiting data assessment from for two completed pivotal phase III trials
• Additional post-hoc analysis suggests stronger treatment effect in primary and some secondary endpoints
• Favorable long-term safety follow-up
• Preparing to discuss the potential for a sBLA filing with the FDA

The 3rd Trimester Key for Neurodevelopment
• The brain is a fatty organ. Nutrition and accretion of LC-PUFAs (omega-3 fatty acids) important during the 3rd trimester
• LC-PUFAs important for brain and retina development
• Babies can’t make LC-PUFAs. They must come from their nutrition which depends on absorbing and using them efficiently

Fresh Breastmilk is Key for Growth & Development
49
• Composition of fresh breastmilk contains nutrients and several unique and essential bioactive components such as enzymes, cytokines and immune factors
• Since half of the nutritional energy requirement in newborns come from dietary lipids, their digestion and absorption must be very efficient
Bile Salt Stimulated Lipase (BSSL) is a Key Component of Fresh Breastmilk
50
• Bile salt stimulated lipase (BSSL) is an essential digestive enzyme in fresh breastmilk
• BSSL uniquely compensates for the immature pancreas of the newborn
• BSSL has the ability to hydrolyze all the major lipids that are important for energy and brain growth
• Pasteurized milk and formulas do not contain BSSL

• Lindquist S Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care 2010

Figure 1. Effect of breast-feeding versus formula feeding on cognitive developmental score: covariate-adjusted mean differences for matched composite observations. (Adapted from Andersson 1999)
References: Anderson JW, et al. Am J Clin Nutr 1999
Cognitive function was significantly higher in breast-fed infants at 6-23 months of ages, and was stable across successive ages
A meta-analysis of 11 studies revealed that fresh breastmilk is associated with
significantly enhanced cognitive development scores compared to formula (p<0.001)
Fresh Breastmilk is Associated With Better Cognitive Development in Preterm Infants
Our Question
52
What if we could restore BSSL activity in preterm infants who do not receive fresh breastmilk?
Kiobrina – a Pioneering Project in Neonatology
53
Recombinant human bile-salt stimulated lipase (rhBSSL)
• Same amino acid sequence and properties as native BSSL
• Enzyme therapy in preterm infants unable to receive fresh breast milk
• Restores the natural lipase activity
The research aims to demonstrate improved growth which may:
• Reduce morbidity
• Reduce length of stay in NICU
• Improve neurodevelopment

The Affibody Technology Platform Consists of Two Innovative Protein Domains
The Affibody Ligand
72
The Albumin Binding Domain (ABD)
The Affibody Technology Platform Consists of Two Innovative Protein Domains
• Small and robust non-Ig scaffold for protein targeting
• Specific targeting by randomization of surface exposed residues followed by selection by phage display
• Efficiently produced in E.coli
• Rapid clearance due to the small size
The Affibody Ligand
73
The Affibody Technology Platform Consists of Two Innovative Protein Domains
The Albumin Binding Domain (ABD) • Small protein that binds to serum albumin from many species
• Engineered for reduced immunogenicity and sub-picomolar affinity
• Similar molecular properties as Affibody ligands
• Extends the plasma half-life for fusion partners by piggybacking on albumin
74
Affibody Molecules Refold Rapidly after Heat-induced Unfolding
Circular Dichroism Spectra Functional activity

C5 Inhibition - Rationale
• C5 is a highly tractable target:
• Common to all complement pathways
• Proximal complement intact
• Clear disease mechanism and validated therapeutic rationale for PNH and aHUS
• Feasible to neutralize C5 activity with Affibody technology
• Many possible opportunities, both validated and exploratory

Part A
Repeated-dose escalation
Part B
Close-out phase
90
First-in-Human Study with seamless SAD and MAD design
Early R&D portfolio
• First example of a candidate drug from a platform collaboration
• Validates the Sobi drug design & development model with partnered discovery research and Sobi biologics development
Conclusions
91
If FiH is successful:
• Validation of the therapeutic potential of the Affibody platform
• Durable C5 suppression opens up many promising therapeutic utilities
SOBI002 preclinical profile:
• Potent and well tolerated in animals
• Predicted PK to support weekly subcutaneous dosing in humans
