Forward - Looking Statements 2 This presentation contains forward - looking statements . Such statements are valid only as of today and we disclaim any obligation to update this information . These statements are only estimates and predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future experiences and results to differ materially from the statements made . These statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations as to such future outcomes including our expectations of the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic . Drug discovery and development involve a high degree of risk . Factors that might cause such a material difference include, among others, uncertainties related to the ability to raise additional capital, uncertainties related to the disruptions at our sole source supplier of iopofosine, the ability to attract and retain partners for our technologies, the identification of lead compounds, the successful preclinical development thereof, patient enrollment and the completion of clinical studies, the FDA review process and other government regulation, our ability to maintain orphan drug designation in the United States for iopofosine, the volatile market for priority review vouchers, our pharmaceutical collaborators' ability to successfully develop and commercialize drug candidates, competition from other pharmaceutical companies, product pricing and third - party reimbursement . A complete description of risks and uncertainties related to our business is contained in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2020 and our Form 10 - Q for the quarter ended September 30 , 2021 .

Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia • The bone marrow produces too many abnormal white blood cells crowding out healthy blood cells • The abnormal white blood cells produce a protein (IgM) that accumulates in the blood, impairs circulation and causes complications • It is slow growing. Typical signs & symptoms include: o Easy bruising; bleeding from nose or gums; fatigue; weight loss; numbness in hands or feet; fever; headache; shortness of breath; changes in vision; confusion • Ultra - rare orphan disease o ~8 - year survival post - initial diagnosis 2,3 o Median age 65 o U.S. Annual incidence ~ 3,000 ; 30% annual growth rate through 2025 o U.S. prevalence ~45,000 4 Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia is a rare cancer that begins in the white blood cells US 43% Europe 33% Global Prevalence Patient % Distribution 1 9 Asia 24%
