NK-cell with CD16A receptors and tumor cell with CD30 receptors

NK-cell TandAb locks NK-cell and tumor cell in close proximity and activates NK-cell

NK-cell releases per- forin, creating pores in tumor cell membrane through which granzyme enters, triggering caspase cascade

Granzyme and caspase action trigger apoptosis of tumor cell

Our strategy Maximize value from pipeline and technologies

• Leverage first product to establish market in key indication

• Develop AFM13 through approval in salvage settings in multiple CD30-positive indications and detail product through own U.S. and/or EU sales forces

• Salvage settings enable fast development path and cost-efficient M&S structure

• Scientific leadership in NK-cell engagement

• Position AFM13 as combination drug with CPIs and other anti-cancer agents

• Use pipeline and technologies to create value through both next-generation products and deal opportunities

• Develop AFM11 through phase 2 POC studies

• Advance EGFRvIII TandAbs (AFM21) in solid tumors

• Enhance CD16A/NK-cell TandAb pipeline

• Add high-value technology platform partnership
