• Updated Phase I data for IMGN853 and IMGN529 – Still working out tox issues
• Phase II results for ROMULUS trial comparing Roche’s “Pina” to “Palo” – Both have
solid efficacy in DLBCL and FL. Palo appears to be moving forward in FL. Both have
significant neuropathy concerns
• Data for anti-CD19 ADCs SAR3419 (Phase II) and SGN-CD19A (Phase I) – Both are
active but have ocular toxicity. SGN-CD19A may have higher CR rate in more
refractory patients. Unclear what Sanofi’s plans are for SAR3419
• First clinical data for ABT-414 – Highly encouraging CR and 2 PRs in refractory
glioblastoma. Ocular tox is an issue
• Phase I data for Roche’s anti-NaPi2b ADC – Very encouraging 41% ORR in ovarian
cancer. Moved into randomized Phase II vs. Doxil
• Adcetris in 1st line HL – Impressive 91% ORR (83% CR) after only two doses of
Adcetris in 1st line prior to ABVD
• Other updates/new data for Roche’s anti-STEAP1 ADC and anti-mesothelin ADC,
Takeda’s MLN0264 (anti-GCC) for GI malignancies, and PGNX’s anti-PSMA ADC
Updates post ASCO 2014:

• Roche/IMGN: Kadcyla MARIANNE Phase III data in first line metastatic breast cancer (H2:14). Key to expansion into 1st line; Combo data with Perjeta could define highest
efficacy combination.
• SGEN: Adcetris AETHERA Phase III (Q4:14), and SGN-CD33A Phase I update likely at ASH (Dec 2014). Potential to expand market for Adcetris; could lead to longer treatment
duration.
• Roche/SGEN: Data from multiple programs likely at ASH 2014
• Sanofi/IMGN: Coltuximab Ravtansine (SAR3419) Phase II MYRALL data in ALL likely at ASH 2014 (Dec 2014). Will also be critical to see whether Sanofi moves this program
forward in either DLBCL or ALL.
• IMGN: First IMGN289 clinical data at cancer meeting (H2:14), and additional updates possible for IMGN853 and IMGN529. Currently no clear winner in the pipeline. IMGN289
(anti-EGFR) could become IMGN’s next driver.

ADC Overview A Three Part Technology – Antibody, Drug, and Linker
6
Overview of ADCs ADCs can provide additional activity/efficacy over naked antibodies
• ADCs build on antibody therapeutics characteristics
o High specificity
o Long half-life
o Reduced immunogenicity with current antibody technology
o Well understood biological function
• ADCs have lower toxicity compared to naked drugs; enables use of higher potency
drugs.
• ADCs have been clinically validated (Kadcyla, Adcetris). Most ADC programs are
Phase I or early Phase II - potential for many more approved ADCs in next 3-5 years.
• Some ADCs have rescued failed antibodies (ie SGN-30, the mAb in Adcetris).
Sources: Company data, Credit Suisse research

Three key components:
Antibody
• Needs to be highly specific for tumor cells
• Targeting normal cells will lead to toxicity
• Needs to be internalized by tumor cells
Drug
• Needs to be high potency
• Limited drug molecules get to the tumor cell
so must be very active
Linker
• Needs to be stable in plasma but released in
target cells
• Multiple chemistries can be employed for this
purpose. More potent drugs require more
stable linkers

Next Generation Innovations
Antibody
• Probody – antibody prodrug format to enhance specificity at tumor sites
Toxin
• DNA crosslinking toxins - more potent, different mechanism, and different potential toxicity/resistance profile; Examples: Pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer, DGN462
Linker
• Site specific conjugation – multiple technologies allow for precise drug number and linker location
• Non-native amino acids – modified antibodies allow for site specific linking; unique linker chemistry; potential for two different drugs loaded on one antibody
• Fleximers – Large hydrophilic linker system; multi-drug binding sites; can significantly increase drug number
Looking to improve efficacy and safety

• Amgen: Its deal with IMGN came through its acquisition of Abgenix. Amgen has subsequently moved two ADC into the clinic using IMGN’s technology.
• AstraZeneca: Bought Spirogen in 2013 and takes equity stake ADC Therapeutics. Builds on antibody expertise of Medimmune. First major move into ADC space.
• Astellas: Bought Agensys, which had a 50/50 co-development with SGEN. Subsequently expanded to multi-target license deal. Currently has 3 ADCs in the clinic.
• AbbVie: Total of three deals with SGEN starting prior to ABBV spin out. Initially a single-target deal, expanded twice to multi-target deals. Total of $58M in upfronts.
• Pfizer: Wyeth developed the first approved ADC Mylotarg. Pfizer acquired Wyeth and still has proprietary development of ADCs.
• Roche: Technology deals with both SGEN and IMGN as well as significant internal research and development (proprietary format – Thiomab – failed in clinic). Kadcyla approved and 9
other ADCs in development.
• Sanofi: Aventis had a broad R&D collaboration with IMGN from 2003 to 2008. From that deal it gained its two clinical stage ADCs, which continue to advance. Sanofi subsequently
took a license to another ADC target stemming from a separate 2006 agreement.
How Some of the Bigger Companies are Accessing ADCs
Sources: Company data, Credit Suisse research
Addressing Current Challenges with New Technologies Focus on drugs and linkers
17
Increasing Potency Through Higher Drug : Antibody Ratio
Current ADCs have a range of drugs:
• Adcetris has mostly 4 per antibody
(range 0-8)
• Kadcyla has ~3.5 on average per antibody
Increased drugs/linkers can lead to:
• ADC instability
• Decreased half-life
• Aggregation during manufacturing
• Liabilities depend on physical
properties of the drug and linker
Solution(s)
Fleximers: Mersana linkers are large biodegradable polymers that can
increase drug:antibody ratio many fold.
More soluble drug/linkers may allow
higher drug:antibody ratios
Site specific conjugation allows
attachment of a specific number of drugs. This may not always lead to more drug per antibody, but can avoid
some of the problems associated with overloading antibodies
More drugs should make ADCs more potent, but there are problems
Sources: Company data, Credit Suisse research
18
SGEN - Adcetris
Conjugates to cysteine by first breaking the
disulfide (S-S) bonds between the heavy and
light chains
Maximum of 8 sites per antibody (4 disulfide
bonds)
Optimal ratio is ~2-4 drugs per antibody for
Adcetris
IMGN - Kadcyla
Conjugates to lysine
Approximately 80-100 possible sites
More than 1M possible combinations
Average ratio is approximately 3.5 for
Kadcyla
Drug : Antibody Ratio Current State of Art
Mixtures vary in both drug : antibody ratio and site of conjugation
Sources: Company data, Sutro presentation, Credit Suisse research
19
Fleximer
Polymer is highly water soluble (hydrophilic)
Large number of drugs can be loaded on the polymer (even hydrophobic drugs)
Polymer/drug conjugate can then be linked to the antibody
Polymer/drug can be linked to other types of targeting agents (e.g. antibody fragments)
Drug : Antibody Ratio – Possible Solutions
Mersana’s Fleximer SGEN – More soluble drug/ linkers
More soluble “standard” format
New linker with PEG for increased drug loading
Sources: Company data, Mersana presentation, AACR 2014 posters, Credit Suisse research
20
More Uniform ADCs Through Site Specific Conjugation
Current ADCs have a range of drugs:
• Mixtures may include inactive variants or
variants with undesirable PK or safety
• Methods to achieve “optimal” loading may
leave some antibodies with no drug
• Some newer drugs (e.g. PBD dimers) may
have physical properties that lead to
aggregation if drug:antibody ratio is too high
Solution(s):
Genentech developed Thiomabs – failed due
to toxicity
SGEN is using site specific conjugation for
its PBD dimer conjugates (SGN-CD70A and
SGN-CD33A)
Sutro, Allozyne, and Ambrx introduce non-
native amino acids for site specific
conjugation
Other site specific approaches are being
Redwood Biosciences and others
Current ADCs are mixtures with varied drug numbers and conjugation sites
Site specific conjugates may be theoretically more potent if “undesirable” conjugates add toxicity while “desirable” conjugates are more potent. This has yet to be proven in the clinic
Sources: Company data, Sutro presentation, Credit Suisse research
21
Improving Safety and Efficacy
Current challenges:
• Drug resistance can develop against the toxin
(e.g. efflux pumps)
• Peripheral neuropathy is seen with some
tubulin agents (e.g. Adcetris)
• Ocular toxicity has been seen with multiple
ADCs using two different toxins (MMAF and
DM4)
Solution(s):
New drugs may be less
sensitive to efflux pumps
and / or combining two
drugs with different
mechanisms of action
DNA targeting agents
(ie PBD dimers) may not
have peripheral neuropathy
(likely something
different)
Ocular toxicity being addressed by steroid eye
drops and alternative dosing strategies. Best
solution is likely new toxins (i.e. not MMAF and
DM4).
Current ADCs have liabilities – New drugs and linkers may improve profile
Improvements in l inkers and toxins are l ikely to enhance the safety of ADCs
Sources: Company data, Credit Suisse research
22
Improving Safety and Efficacy – Ocular Toxicity
Significant ocular toxicity with MMAF and DM4 conjugates
Sources: Company data, Credit Suisse research
Frequent at low grade
Dose dependent
Blurred vision range from 20-50%
Generally reversible
Attempts to mitigate with dosing
changes and steroid prophylaxis
Eye toxicity may raise bar for clinical
activity to achieve good risk/benefit
• IMGN853
• SAR3419 • SGN-CD19a
• ABT-414
• AGS-16M8F • SAR566658
Variety of manifestations:
• Blurred vision
• Dry eye
• Keratopathy
• Keratitis
• Corneal deposits
• Foreign body sensation
• Photophobia
• Eye pain

27
CytomX Therapeutics Probody technology
ADCs are highly specific for their target, but some targets may also be found on normal
tissue (e.g. skin, heart, etc.) leading to unwanted toxicity
Probodies are modified antibodies that are unable to bind their target unless they are
cleaved by proteases, which are often found in and around tumors
ADC Probodies are “activated” at the site of the tumor, potentially reducing toxicity in
other tissues
CytomX and IMGN have a collaboration to share each others technology

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
