A FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO GENETICALLY DEFINED DISEASES
We are driven by a commitment to people living with genetically defined diseases and are accelerating and expanding our portfolio of investigational medicines for these conditions. Genetically defined diseases range from a broad group of more than 600 rare diseases caused by mutations of single genes to conditions resulting from alterations in multiple genes (polygenic diseases) that affect up to millions of patients worldwide. Many of these diseases carry severe or life-threatening features and are likely to be underdiagnosed given the lack of available therapies or diagnostics, the rarity of the condition, or limited understanding of how the disease genetics relate to disease phenotype. Through the study of genetically defined diseases and other conditions, it has been shown that small molecule therapies able to specifically correct genetic deficiencies and their associated organ dysfunction may have application in conditions that arise independent of patient genetics but for which identical organ dysfunction occurs.
Our goal is to develop mechanistically specific, small molecule approaches with the potential to have disease modifying and long term rather than palliative effects. We are taking a novel small molecule approach to correct the defects within diseased cells with a goal of developing transformative medicines for patients.

UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO SCIENCE AND PATIENTS
Agios is a biopharmaceutical company passionately committed to applying our
leadership in the field of cellular metabolism to transform the lives of patients
with genetically defined diseases. Metabolism is a complex biological process
involving the uptake and assimilation of nutrients in cells to produce energy
and facilitate many of the processes required for cellular division and growth.
Agios believes that dysregulation of normal cellular metabolism plays a crucial
role in many genetically defined diseases.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This fact sheet contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include those regarding Agios’ plans, strategies and expectations for its preclinical, clinical and commercial advancement of its drug development programs including mitapivat and AG-946; the potential benefits of Agios’ product candidates; and the potential benefit of its strategic plans and focus. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “possible,” “hope” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Such statements are subject to numerous important factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from Agios’ current expectations and beliefs. For example, there can be no guarantee that any product candidate Agios is developing will successfully commence or complete necessary preclinical and clinical development phases, or that development of any of Agios’ product candidates will successfully continue. There can be no guarantee that any positive developments in Agios’ business will result in stock price appreciation. Management’s expectations and, therefore, any forward-looking statements in this fact sheet could also be affected by risks and uncertainties relating to a number of other important factors, including, without limitation: risks and uncertainties related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to Agios’ business, operations, strategy, goals and anticipated milestones, including its ongoing and planned research activities, ability to conduct ongoing and planned clinical trials, clinical supply of current or future drug candidates, commercial supply of current or future approved products, and launching, marketing and selling current or future approved products; Agios’ results of clinical trials and preclinical studies, including subsequent analysis of existing data and new data received from ongoing and future studies; the content and timing of decisions made by the U.S. FDA, the EMA or other regulatory authorities, investigational review boards at clinical trial sites and publication review bodies; Agios’ ability to obtain and maintain requisite regulatory approvals and to enroll patients in its planned clinical trials; unplanned cash requirements and expenditures; competitive factors; Agios’ ability to obtain, maintain and enforce patent and other intellectual property protection for any product candidates it is developing; Agios’ ability to maintain key collaborations; and general economic and market conditions. These and other risks are described in greater detail under the caption “Risk Factors” included in Agios’ public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements contained in this fact sheet speak only as of the date of this fact sheet, and Agios expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

CLINICAL PROGRAMS
Mitapivat is an investigational, wholly owned, first-in-class, novel, oral activator of both
wild-type (normal) and mutated pyruvate kinase R (PKR) enzymes. Mutations in PKR cause
deficiencies in red blood cell glycolysis, which lead to a disease known as PK deficiency.
Based on preliminary clinical data, proof-of-concept has been established for mitapivat
as a potential treatment for thalassemia and for sickle cell disease, and the company plans
to initiate pivotal Phase 3 studies in both indications.
AG-946 is a next-generation oral activator of both wild-type and mutated PKR enzymes.
We are evaluating AG-946 in a phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers.
PRECLINICAL PROGRAMS
In addition to advancing our lead programs, we continue to discover novel metabolic
targets that meet a high bar for future development across genetically defined diseases.
Agios’ late-stage research pipeline is evolving to include a rich and sustainable portfolio
of genetically defined disease targets with clear disease area applications. These include
hereditary and acquired anemias, myopathies, retinal diseases and diseases of inborn errors
of metabolism such as aminoacidurias, aminoacidemias and others.
