Company ProfileRepliGen
• Late-stage pipeline with significant market opportunity– RG1068 to diagnose pancreatitis; >$100M U.S./E.U. market (Phase 3)
– RG2417 for bipolar depression; ~$2B market opportunity (Phase 2b)
– Two potentially transformative drugs for orphan CNS diseases; >$500M marketopportunity each (Pre-clinical)
• Financial sustainability– Strong cash position (~$59M); low cash burn and no debt
– Profits from Bioprocessing business and royalties fund therapeutics pipeline
• Proven strategy– Acquired patent from MIT; developed Erbitux® cell line; licensed to ImClone for $65M
– Acquired patent from Univ. of Michigan; developed Orencia® application; licensed toBristol-Myers for ~$65M(e) in royalties through 2013
Repligen acquires product candidates, advances them to a key inflectionpoint and captures value by commercializing or partnering
Our goal for 2011 is to file an NDA in the U.S. and an MAA in the E.U. for RG1068,secure partner for RG2417; assuming positive data in Q1 2011

BiologyRG1068 stimulates therelease of fluid by thepancreas; filling thepancreatic ducts, whichmakes them larger
RG1068 Phase 3 Highlights
• ERCP is an invasive, risky endoscopic procedure for diagnosisof pancreatic duct abnormalities; associated with high morbidityand measurable mortality
• Patients in the Phase 3 study were evaluated for detection of 10pre-specified structural pancreatic abnormalities. MRI imagespre- and post-RG1068 were analyzed by three independentradiologists; ERCP used as “truth standard”
– Radiologists evaluation of data was flawed due to significant deviationsfrom the protocol
– FDA and EMA agreed to a “re-read” of images using three newradiologists
– Study showed that RG1068 aids in avoiding unnecessary ERCP; forevery patient on day of hospitalization from ERCP was saved
• Expect to complete Phase 3 re-read in Q1 2011• If successful, file New Drug Application (NDA) in Q2/Q3 2011

Market Opportunity
• Market opportunity in U.S./E.U. for MRI enhancement is greater than
$100M, assuming a price of $350/vial
• Evaluating other clinical applications and market opportunity outside
of U.S./E.U.
– Surgery: improve confidence in diagnosis and pre-surgical planning
– New potential indication: pancreatic cancer detection/staging
– Japan is a third promising market; high utilization of MRI and potential for
favorable pricing

RG2417 for Bipolar Depression
• Bipolar disorder symptoms include episodes of severe
depression and mania; depressive episodes account for
majority of impairment
• Current therapies for bipolar depression are ineffective in
most patients and have significant side effects
• Bipolar disorder is linked to abnormal activity in the
mitochondria, the power plant of a cell
• RG2417, an oral formulation of uridine, may affect
mitochondrial activity and improve symptoms of depression
in bipolar disorder with minimal to no side effects
RG2417 Phase 2a Highlights
• Conducted a Phase 2a study resulting in statistically
significant improvement in depression on MADRS scale
– RG2417 well tolerated by patients; the adverse event profile for
RG2417 was equivalent to placebo
• Completed enrollment of Phase 2b study to confirm
Phase 2a results
• Expecting results from the Phase 2b study in the first
quarter of 2011
• Objective: license to a pharmaceutical partner in 2011

Market Opportunity
• Patients primarily seek treatment for the depressive symptoms
– Physicians report that 77% of the time patients seek treatement for
depressive symptoms as opposed to mania symptoms
• Psychiatrists have a high level of dissatisfaction with current
bipolar depression therapies because they are ineffective in
most patients and may have significant side effects
• Total costs of bipolar disorder ~$45 billion per year (NIH est.)
– Accounts for more than 16 million visits to a physician each year and
approximately 150,000 hospitalizations
• Worldwide prevalence >5 million
• Approximately $2B market opportunity (10% market
penetration)
RG2833 for Friedreich’s Ataxia
• Friedreich’s ataxia is an orphan
disease characterized by progressive
loss of muscle function which leads to
incapacitation and loss of life
• Caused by a defective gene, which
results in low levels of Frataxin protein
• RG2833, an HDAC* inhibitor, is the
first compound to target activation of
the defective gene to increase
frataxin production
• >$500M market opportunityA 2.5 fold increase in
Frataxin levels may besufficient to arrestdisease progress

*Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC inhibitors) are aclass of compounds that interfere with the function ofhistone deacetylase, which is related to gene expression
RG2833 Next Steps
• Initiate Phase 1 study following FDA approval
• Evaluate HDAC inhibitors in animal models of
Huntington’s disease and cognition
• Prosecute worldwide patent protection; composition
of matter patents; priority date May 2008
RG3039 for Spinal MuscularAtrophy
• Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an orphan disease characterized by
progressive loss of muscle function and early death in most patients
• Caused by a defective gene SMN2, which results in low levels SMN protein
• RG3039, is the first compound to target activation of the defective gene;
increasing the production of SMN and potentially arresting the progress of
the disease
• >$500M market opportunity
A 1.5 to 2 fold increase in SMN levels has the potential to profoundlyaffect the course of the disease

RG3039 Next Steps
• Qualify RG3039 as a clinical candidate
– Complete GLP toxicology study to determine
appropriateness for human clinical trials
• Initiate Phase 1 study
• Seek funding from non-profits or NIH
• Prosecute composition of matter patent
• For over 20 years, Repligen has been a leading supplier
of Protein A for production of monoclonal antibodies;
important therapies for cancer, autoimmune diseases
and osteoporosis
– OEM supply to GE Healthcare and Millipore
– FY2011 estimated revenue = ~$13M; 60% gross margin
• Repligen’s objective is to expand bioprocessing market
opportunity by broadening its product offering, and
through direct sales to end users

Past
Phase 3 Trial and Results
• One out of the three radiologists achieved primary endpoints
– 256 additional days of hospitalization with ERCP
• RG1068 well tolerated and safe vs. ERCP
• All three radiologists achieved secondary endpoints
Results
• Radiologists evaluation of data was flawed due to significantdeviations from the protocol
• Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency(EMA) agreed to a “re-read” of images using three new radiologists
Status
• Improvements in image quality, visualization of pancreatic ducts and
confidence in diagnosis of abnormalitiesSecondary Endpoints
