IgA nephropathy Cluster complexes Immune response Sugar deficient IgA Peyer´s patches 1 2 3 4

 In patients there is an increase in a subclass of immunoglobulin molecules (“IgA”) which lack a specific sugar modification  The sugar-deficient IgA molecules trigger an immune response resulting in formation of antibody clusters  As the clusters enter the circulation, they form even larger complexes that eventually lodge in the kidneys  Deposits of immune complexes result in inflammation, necrosis and destruction of the kidneys’ filtration apparatus  Lymphoid tissue; Peyer’s patches in the distal part of the small intestines produces IgA antibodies

Nefecon offers local treatment at origin of disease

 Active substance is budesonide  90% first pass liver metabolism  minimize systemic side effects  Designed to provide a locally restricted and highly concentrated release of budesonide to the Peyer’s patches for maximum effect  Targeted local delivery of potent immunosuppressive agent to Peyer’s patches in the ileum  Unique two-step release profile

─ PH-governed delayed disintegration of the capsule ─ Pulse like exposure throughout the Ileum

Drug product based on known active ingredient Unique targeted release profile

Successful Phase 2b trial

March 2019

Primary endpoint: Reduction in proteinuria

2.7%

  • 27.3%
  • 21.5%

Placebo Nefecon (16 mg) Nefecon (8 mg) % ∆ UPCR

Large study population – 150 patients Randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled

  • 9.8%

0.6%

  • 0.9%

Placebo Nefecon (16 mg) Nefecon (8 mg) % ∆ eGFR

Secondary endpoint: Stabilization of eGFR

Oral dose taken daily over a nine- month period European study in 62 sites in 10 countries

P (16mg)=0.0026 P (8mg) = 0.0064 P (16mg)<0.01 P (8mg)<0.03

Only Phase 2b Study in IgAN to reach Primary Endpoint

Conclusion – Efficacious and safe drug profile

Efficacy

 Phase 2b trial of 150 patients demonstrated

clinically relevant reduction in proteinuria and GFR stabilization in the treatment arms

 UPCR reduction compared to placebo - 9

months treatment (p=0.0066)

 eGFR stabilization compared to placebo – 9

months treatment (p=0.0026)

Safety and tolerability

 Medication-related adverse effects were

transient and mainly mild (77%) to moderate (22%)

 No metabolic adverse events (hypertension,

diabetes, weight gain)

 No severe infections  Benign safety profile of 16 mg Nefecon

  • Endpoint for Phase 3 study identical to endpoint for Phase 2b: Proteinuria reduction.
  • Measured in the first 200 patients after nine months of oral treatment – basis for the accelerated approval in

the US / conditional approval in Europe

  • Potential for full approval if proteinuria reduction is substantial, or on basis of planned interim analysis in post

approval observational study. Data on kidney function expected around 18 months from top line read out

  • Convenient, oral medication for broad population with disease modifying potential – avoidance of dialysis
  • FPI in November 2018

ESRD causes considerable costs to society

March 2019

Cost of dialysis USD 89,000 USD 70,000-200,000

Average annual cost per person in the US

Hemodialysis treatment in 20131 Based on payer's interviews 20162

Total estimated annual hemodialysis cost in the US of USD 42 billion1 11 Cost of transplantation USD 414,800

Commercialization strategy for Nefecon

March 2019

Calliditas believes that IgA nephropathy represents a market opportunity of USD 1bn or more in the US Rights

 Maintain all rights to Nefecon in the US in all indications

Commercial strategy

 Company managed US commercialization  Assess partnerships in EU and RoW  Target IgA nephropathy patients at risk of progressing to ESRD (up to 50%)  Earlier stage treatment to prevent progression and preserve kidney function  Focus on clinics providing treatment of IgAN patients - Hub and spoke structure  Targeting of identified group of nephrologists with a relatively small sales and marketing organization  Collaborate with patient organizations

General commercial strategy US commercialization strategy Rationale for US commercialization

 Significant unmet medical need  Desire for early stage and safer treatments  Sizeable socioeconomic benefits  Orphan drug  Specialist target market  Disease modifying potential

Strong product protection and product exclusivity

March 2019

Orphan designation Existing patents Patent strategy Soft barriers

 Granted orphan drug designation in the US and

  • Europe. Data protection and market exclusivity for

7 years and 10 years, respectively  Granted patents covering Nefecon, its formulation and method of manufacturing - runs until 2029  Strategic focus on the US and Europe with extension into other geographical markets  New patent estate initiated in 2018  Significant formulation and manufacturing know- how  Bioequivalence studies would require adaptation

The disease

 A rare, orphan, chronic inflammation of the liver  The cause is unknown  Leads at variable rates to cirrhosis with complications like portal hypertension, liver failure and liver cancer  Typical symptoms are fatigue, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, enlarged liver, skin rashes, joint pains and in women, loss of menstruation

Standard of care

 Currently no products approved in the US / care treatment includes immunosuppression with systemic steroids (prednisone) alone or in combination with azathioprine  Up to 80% of treated patients report steroid related side effects after 2 years and 15% discontinue due to drug related adverse events  Calliditas estimates the intolerance and relapse segments together comprise 35-40% of the total population, or approximately 25,000 patients

Estimated prevalence

50,000 – 80,000 Annual US incidence 0.1 – 1.9 per 100,000

The disease

 A progressive chronic autoimmune disease of the liver  The bile ducts are destroyed by inflammatory processes, bile accumulates in the liver causing an increase in the liver volume (cholestasis)  If untreated, the active liver tissue is destroyed and replaced by fibrous tissue, cirrhosis and liver transplant  Early symptoms include fatigue, itchy skin and dry eyes/mouth. Later stages - liver stiffness, musculoskeletal pain, edema, jaundice and underactive thyroid

Standard of care

 Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and obeticholic acid (Ocaliva) are the only FDA-approved medical treatments for PBC3  No targeted anti-inflammatory therapy is registered in the US or Europe  Previous trials indicates that corticosteroids may alleviate symptoms and improve biochemical and histologic findings4

Estimated prevalence

140,0005 Annual US incidence 0.3 – 5.8 per 100,0002

Out-licensing of Nefecon to Greater China

November 2017 Analyst presentation

16 The Market

 IgA Nephropathy is more common in China than in Europe

  • r the US, and is cited in publications as being the most

common reason for ESRD.  According to a large Chinese epidemiology study1 on over 13,000 renal biopsies, IgAN represented over 30%.  A convenient, oral medication to control the disease with the potential of avoiding ESRD is particularly attractive in a China, taking into account travelling distance to hospitals etc.

The Deal

 Partnering with Everest Medicines, a well funded, private biopharma company with highly experienced staff predominantly with big pharma backgrounds. Have a broad pipeline of late stage clinical programs for China  Total deal value of $121m, with $15m in upfront payment  Everest Medicines responsible for the development and commercialization in the territory  Potential to be the first approved medication for IgAN in China, targeting a significant unmet medical need
