Slide 6

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is associated with elevated ammonia levels stemming from serious liver disease HE is a continuum of transient, usually reversible neurological and psychiatric dysfunction, associated with elevated ammonia levels2,3 Symptoms range from mildly altered mental status to deep coma, sometimes death1 Goal of HE treatment is aimed at lowering blood ammonia levels3 Once a patient suffers an acute HE episode, prevention of recurrent HE is critical and requires ongoing therapy 1 Clin Liver Dis (2012) Khungar 2 Hepatology (2014) Vilstrup et al 3 NEJM (1997) Riordan et al 0 1 4 3 2 Covert HE Overt HE West Haven Scale1 Elevated Ammonia Levels Drive HE Death Ammonia Carried in the Blood Stream Personality Changes Stupor Coma Disorientation Impaired Motor Skills


Slide 7

OCR-002’s novel mechanism of action helps eliminate ammonia in the bloodstream L-ornithine Glutamate Ammonia PAGN Kidney PAGN Excretion in Urine Metabolic precursor of glutamate, which then combines with ammonia to create glutamine Phenylacetic Acid (PAA) PAA combines with glutamine to form phenylacetylglutamine (PAGN) which is excreted through the kidneys L-ornithine phenylacetate (OCR- 002) Glutamine Carrier of ammonia Ammonia forms when protein is digested by bacteria in intestines; it is then normally converted to urea by liver and eliminated in urine In patients with serious liver disease, elevated ammonia levels passing into the bloodstream from gut can cause HE Company data on file

Rapid improvement in symptoms; reduction in hospital stay OCR-002 is positively differentiated from current treatments for hepatic encephalopathy (HE) OCR-002 Lactulose Rifaximin Formulation IV Oral, nasogastric or enema Oral Method of Action Ammonia scavenger, actively eliminates ammonia in bloodstream and excretes through kidneys Laxative, passively reduces ammonia through bowel movements Antibiotic, passively reduces ammonia by affecting gut flora; excretes ammonia through bowel movements Key Side Effects Difficult to administer in acute setting Poor compliance due to severe diarrhea and GI3 issues Peripheral edema, nausea, dizziness, broad GI issues Restricted for patients with severe liver issues HE Label Acute HE Recurrent HE HE2 Recurrent HE5 Minimal side effects observed to date1 1 Company data on file; Rifaximin label 2 Approved in 1976 3 GI = Gastrointestinal 4 Quintiles/IMS data 5 Approved in 2010 6 Estimated sales from HE indication based on SEC filings, forward looking growth estimates based on analysts’ forecasts Potential Benefits Oral Current Sales ~$40MM4 Generic ~$600MM6 2% CAGR In Development While some drugs are in pre-clinical and Phase 1 development for HE, none are specifically targeting ammonia nor are there IV formulations in development to rapidly lower ammonia levels directly N/A


Slide 12

Mallinckrodt has opportunity to create value by investing and refining OCR-002 clinical program Though STOP HE Phase 2 trial1 did not meet primary endpoint, it achieved secondary endpoints, yielding promising clinical insights Ammonia levels correlated with HE severity and ammonia reduction correlated with clinical improvement OCR-002 lowered ammonia faster and led to faster clinical improvement compared to placebo + standard of care in patients with confirmed hyperammonemia at baseline OCR-002 patients had higher response rate at 48 hours vs. placebo + standard of care; those responders left hospital ~1.5 days earlier OCR‐002 was safe and well‐tolerated Trial design and execution issues contributed to primary endpoint results Inadequate dosing regimen Delays in starting treatment after admission Placebo group heterogeneity (e.g., different standards of care used) Anticipated MNK path forward MNK will invest to establish dosing ranges prior to initiating Phase 3 program Continued engagement with FDA; confirm regulatory pathway; gain approval and launch Company data on file 1 Presentation at The Liver Meeting® the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, held Oct. 20-24. .https://liverlearning.aasld.org/aasld/2017/thelivermeeting/201404/stanley.bukofzer.ocr-002.28ornithine.phenylacetate29.is.a.potent.ammonia.html?f=topic=1572*media=3
