Confidential 13#14Navacaprant: Differentiated Profile Relative to Approved Agents Drives Physician Preference Novel Mechanism Dosing Side Effect Profile Efficacy Degree of preference: High Medium Low Provider Preference Approved Agents Navacaprant Rationale Most KOLs find the ability to target multiple neurological circuits as a key strength of the KORA mechanism and mention anhedonia as a suitable target population. "...This is a viable target receptor; there is a classic column of serotonergic and dopaminergic effects you find in other meds... GABAergic is interesting because it will address anxiety. Glutamatergic can address cognitive impairment, which is also helpful..." Psychiatrist, Academic Center, Europe Once daily dosing of navacaprant provides a competitive advantage relative to recently approved agents which could lead to higher compliance. "... Once daily dosing with no titration is definitely a positive, it's really preferred...a lot of patients forget the second dose, and it's great that it's with or without food..." Psychiatrist, Private Practice #2, U.S. Selectivity profile of navacaprant will enable optimal receptor occupancy that supports a potentially beneficial efficacy/tolerability profile over other approved agents. "... It's very attractive that this profile does not have issues with sexual dysfunction and weight gain, as this can be a huge problem with the standard of care especially in younger patients..." Psychiatrist, Crossover Health, U.S. Navacaprant efficacy is distinguished by treating core symptoms of depression, anhedonia and anxiety. "... This is very promising... the medication apparently has a very good effect on anhedonia which is a core component of depression...so I could see it having widespread use, especially because it is generally a safe treatment..." Psychiatrist, Private Hospital, Europe Most providers prefer navacaprant compared to approved agents due to navacaprant's novel mechanism, superior dosing and side effect profile. Some providers would still use recently launched novel agents in patients who are unwilling to wait two or more weeks for onset.

Executive, Magellan -50% "... 15-25% or up to 30% are reasonable discounts [for navacaprant] a few years after launch, given it's a new MoA as an antidepressant, that's a big benefit..." Inflation adjusted pricing Confidential 15#16Potential for Broad Applicability of Navacaprant Beyond MDD Includes Bipolar Depression Strong Rationale for Efficacy in Bipolar Depression (BPD): ● ● ● Evidence from the navacaprant Phase 2 study and the NIMH- sponsored FASTMAS demonstrate the utility of KOR pharmacology for depression and anhedonia symptoms Anhedonia is a highly prevalent and clinically relevant symptom in BPD, and there is a growing body of research in the pathophysiologic underpinnings of anhedonia in BPD Given that navacaprant studies have demonstrated meaningful improvements in anhedonia symptoms in patients with moderate-to-severe MDD, we believe it may also be effective in treating anhedonia related to BPD The primary endpoint for evaluating efficacy in bipolar depression is MADRS Currently approved therapies (e.g., atypical antipsychotics) have significant limitations Signal-seeking study in patients with BPD enables decision- making on advancing navacaprant to proceed to pivotal program in BPD Stage 1: Signal Seeking Randomization (1:1) Baseline Navacaprant QD Placebo QD Evaluate Effect Size to Inform Next Step Robust Effect Size: Advance Program to Pivotal Studies or Proof of Concept Supportive Effect Size: Advance Program to Proof of Concept Marginal Effect Observed: Stop Program in BPD and consider other LCM opps Stage 2: Proof of Concept (Randomized Double-Blinded Treatment) Confidential 16#17NMRA-511: V1aR Antagonist Broad Potential Across Neuropsychiatric Disorders Pharmacology Antagonist of vasopressin 1a receptor (V1aR), with high selectivity over V1b, V2 (greater than 3,000-fold) and oxytocin receptors (approximately 300-fold) Vasopressin plays a role in the regulation of aggression, affiliation, stress and anxiety response Indication Agitation in Alzheimer's disease Status Conducting Phase 1 Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study in human healthy volunteers Drug Profile Oral, once-daily Strong IP Protection Expect exclusivity through 2042+, based on composition of matter protection and estimated patent term extension Strong Biologic Activity Demonstrated NMRA-511 reduced measures of anxiety in an NHP preclinical model, with a corresponding EEG signature in Phase 1 V1aR EXPRESSION HPC-O CeA- ECM -Lateral Neuron cytoplasm septum Expressed in multiple brain regions -BNST -A/LHy V1aR Gq/11 Endogenous pathways Enhanced in disease Drug impact Antagonist of V1aR PLC signaling cascade IP₁ DAG NMRA-511 The vasopressin system acting through V1aR modulates anxiety and threat-related behaviors, aggression and social-emotional processing Increased intracellular Ca2+ PKC PKC activation and translocation to membrane Confidential 17#18NMRA-511 Demonstrates Relevant Pharmacodynamics with the Potential to Address Anxiety Disorders In a human threat test study completed in marmosets, NMRA-511 demonstrated activity in brain circuits that regulate mood and anxiety.
