Statements contained in these slides about The Medicines Company and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc., each
Company’s products and product candidates, clinical trial results, regulatory submissions, product or indication
launches, each Company’s future financial and operating results, and future opportunities for each Company,
that are not purely historical, and all other statements that are not purely historical, may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation

“intends," “potential," “estimates," “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These important factors include each Company’s
ability to discover and develop novel drug candidates and delivery approaches, successfully demonstrate the
efficacy and safety of its drug candidates, obtain, maintain and protect intellectual property, enforce patents
and defend its patent portfolio, obtain regulatory approval for products, establish and maintain business
alliances; dependence on third parties for access to intellectual property; and the outcome of litigation, as well
as those risks detailed from time to time in each Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including, without limitation, the risk factors detailed in each Company’s most
recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Risk Factors.” If one or more of these factors

Comparable LDL-C lowering to previously published results with anti-PCSK9
monoclonal antibodies
LDL-C reduction clamped for more than 140 days after single dose
Generally well tolerated with no clinically significant AEs to date
Program lead transitions to MDCO

Medical and economic needs Scott Johnson, MD Chief Medical Advisor The Medicines Company

Medical and economic needs
The job to be done is continuous, life-protecting lowering of LDL-C for people at risk of ACVD – in an economically sustainable manner
Strictly Confidential 8
More people (~18M) die annually from cardiovascular diseases than from any other
cause1
More than 14M are due to ACVD (coronary, cerebral, peripheral)1
Behavioral risk factors are well known and benefits of diet, exercise and smoking
cessation have been demonstrated repeatedly2
Medical risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia
• dyslipidemia is the most important modifiable risk factor
• 39% of adults worldwide have elevated cholesterol3
Medical and economic needs Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide

Strictly Confidential 9
Medical and economic needs Lowering of LDL-C for people at risk of ACVD is a proven strategy to prevent morbid events and deaths
• Linear association of risk
reduction with LDL-C lowering1
• Primary and (especially)
secondary prevention
• Risk reduced regardless of
mechanism of LDL-C lowering
• Statins have proven themselves
to be the mainstay of medical
therapy

ALN-PCSsc is promising investigational first-in-class PCSK9
synthesis inhibitor
• Generally well tolerated to date
• Potent and dose-dependent knockdown of PCSK9 and lowering of LDL-C
• Durability supports once-quarterly and possibly bi-annual, low volume SC dose
regimen
• Initial Phase 1 results support continued development of ALN-PCSsc in ORION

Objectives:
• Keep chronic toxicology studies off the critical path
• Optimize dose, formulation, administration, and device – small volume,
infrequent, easy
• Execute efficient phase III program based on LDL-C efficacy endpoint
· Broad population of patients with ACVD
· Focused FH studies
· Compare head-to-head to monoclonal antibodies where appropriate
• Anticipate outcomes data and design phase IIIb/IV accordingly
The Orion Development Program Goal to make ALN-PCSsc available quickly with appropriate information for regulators and, upon approval, for prescribers, patients & payers

• Quarterly or potentially bi-annual
dosing of ALN-PCSsc would
uniquely align monitoring and

• 3-6 monthly cholesterol check
• 3-6 monthly sc injection
• Oversight by physician with
treatment monitored, or given by
physician or retail pharmacy 24/7
• Adherence, patient satisfaction and
value improvement potential
