Team out of Reliant Pharmaceuticals ( Lovaza ® ) with strong development & commercialization track record Unique and differentiating expertise in lipidomics and lipid chemistry Historical lack of innovation/investment in lipid - based therapies Initial focus on lower risk hypertriglyceridemia opportunity in a large and growing metabolic/CV disease arena 3
HIGH triglycerides Pancreatitis Cardiovascular Disease Type 2 Diabetes Fatty Liver Disease HIGH risk: 4
HIGH number of patients with high triglycerides 5 ~4M ~65M (TG≥150mg/dl) (TG≥500mg/dl)

The good news: Research shows strong evidence that Omega - 3s lower triglyceride levels 7
Not all Omega - 3s are the same: Not all Rx Omega - 3s are the same: 8 COMMON OMEGA - 3S EPA DHA is associated with an increase in LDL cholesterol UNIQUE OMEGA - 3S DHA ALA ETA HPA LOVAZA (EPA and DHA) EPANOVA (EPA and DHA) VASCEPA (Pure EPA) High DHA Low DHA DPA SDA
MAT9001 A next generation prescription - only omega - 3 fatty acid medication 9
MAT9001 – Unique engineered Omega - 3 composition • Severe Hypertriglyceridemia (≥500mg/dL) • Highest potency • Unique Mechanism of Action • Trace amounts of DHA 10 EPA SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO TREAT DYSLIPIDEMIA DPA
Quality by Design Our targeted development activities and related clinical investigations may yield a stronger therapeutic profile compared to the currently - existing therapies. 11 FASTING TG REDUCTION IN “FATTY ZUCKER” RAT MODEL Triglyceride Percent Reduction From Baseline – In Vivo -60% -50% -40% -30% -20% -10% 0% 50 200 400 1000 EPA 200 mg/kg EPA 400 mg/kg EPA 1000 mg/kg DPA 50 mg/kg Percent reduction from baseline in “Fatty Zucker ” rats after one week of dosing ( n =8 per treatment group).
