Alnylam Forward Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A

of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of

1934. 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 our ability to discover and develop novel drug candidates and

delivery approaches, successfully demonstrate the efficacy and safety of our drug

candidates, obtain, maintain and protect intellectual property, enforce our patents and

defend our patent portfolio, obtain regulatory approval for products, establish and maintain

business alliances; our dependence on third parties for access to intellectual property; and

the outcome of litigation, as well as those risks more fully discussed in our most recent

quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Risk Factors.” If one or more of these

factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results,

performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or

achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. All forward-

looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and, except as required

by law, we undertake no obligation to update such statements.

ALN-AT3 Pre-Clinical Efficacy Potent AT Knockdown and Normalization of Thrombin Generation

31

ALN-AT3 achieves potent AT knockdown and fully corrects thrombin generation in non-human primates (NHP)

Weekly SC doses for >5 months result in potent, dose-dependent, and durable AT knockdown

In NHP hemophilia “inhibitor” model, ALN-AT3 fully restores thrombin generation to normal levels

ALN-AT3 Phase 1 Study Dose-escalation Study in Two Parts

Study Design Randomized, single-blinded,

placebo-controlled SAD study in

healthy volunteers

Max allowable knockdown of 40%

Positive Topline Results At 0.03 mg/kg, AT knockdown of up

to 32% and increases in thrombin

generation (p<0.01) » Major implications for ESC-GalNAc

conjugate platform; ~50x improved

potency vs. ALN-TTRsc

Well tolerated, no significant AEs

Study Design Open-label, MAD study in

subjects with moderate to severe

hemophilia A or B (N=up to 18)

Primary Objective Safety and tolerability of multi-

dose in hemophilia subjects

Secondary Objectives Assess clinical activity

» AT knockdown

» Increase in thrombin generation

Status Part A SAD completed; Positive top-line results

Advanced to Part B MAD in patients

Initial data from Part B in late ’14

GalNAc-siRNA Conjugates: Safety Assessment Wide Therapeutic Index

ALN-TTRsc GalNAc-Conjugate Cytokine/Complement Assessment

» No evidence of inflammation (cytokine, complement) in vitro or in vivo, including NHP

GLP Toxicology Study Results » Rat doses up to 300 mg/kg (10 doses) well tolerated

Summary

36

Alnylam has developed an effective, well tolerated, SC-administered

GalNAc-conjugate platform with proven human clinical translation Human POC established with ALN-TTRsc and ALN-AT3

Enhanced Stabilization Chemistry (ESC) of siRNA-GalNAc conjugates

has led to increased metabolic stability Increased liver exposure

Improved potency: Up to 10-fold SD potency improvement and less

injection volume

Increased duration of effect, which further increases from rodents to

NHP to humans

Greater apparent stability in humans due to attenuated nuclease

environment as compared with other species

No compromise in tolerability

ESC-GalNAc conjugates enable a reproducible and modular platform

for RNAi therapeutics as new class of medicines
