These include statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts for the future, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Millendo undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

Such forward-looking statements are based on Millendo’s expectations and involve risks and uncertainties; consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the statements due to a number of factors, including Millendo’s plans to develop and commercialize its product candidates, including livoletide and nevanimibe; the timing of initiation of Millendo’s planned clinical trials; the timing of the availability of data from Millendo’s clinical trials; the timing of any planned investigational new drug application or new drug application; Millendo’s plans to research, develop and commercialize its current and future product candidates; the clinical utility, potential benefits and market acceptance of Millendo’s product candidates; Millendo’s commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy; Millendo’s ability to protect its intellectual property position; and Millendo’s estimates regarding future revenue, expenses, capital requirements and need for additional financing.

Livoletide (AZP-531) for Prader-Willi Syndrome

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) Well-characterized genetic orphan endocrine disease Prader-Willi syndrome is characterized by: • Hyperphagia: Chronic feeling of insatiable hunger ‒ Starts at 5-8 years old and usually lasts until death ‒ Hallmark of PWS • Intellectual/emotional disabilities and psychiatric disorders • Multiple hormonal deficiencies resulting in short stature and incomplete sexual development • Metabolic dysfunction and early death 7 1 Lionti, 2015 2 Ehara, 1995 Complex disorder attributed primarily to spontaneous genetic error on CHROMOSOME 15 Livoletide Nevanimibe 8,000– 11,000 13,000– 18,000 ~1:15,000BIRTH INCIDENCE1,2 30-40 YEARSMEDIAN AGE / MORTALITY PREVALENT CASES U.S. EUROPE

10 Livoletide for Treatment of Hyperphagia in PWS Pharmacology of UAG is distinct from that of AG Livoletide Nevanimibe LivoletideUnacylated Ghrelin (UAG)Acylated Ghrelin (AG) • Once-daily injectable cyclic peptide • Comparable in vitro and in vivo pharmacological profiles to UAG •More stable than linear analogues in human plasma and has improved in vivo PK 1GHSR1a = growth hormone secretagogue receptor, or ghrelin receptor 1 • AG is the most potent known appetite-stimulating endocrine hormone • Stimulates fat deposition • Induces insulin resistance • Inhibits AG-induced food intake • Inhibits fat deposition • Improves insulin sensitivity • Modulates food intake (↓) and metabolic endpoints in rodents out to 44 weeks
