Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties and are based on estimates and
assumptions. Other than statements of historical facts, all statements included in this presentation are forward-looking statements, including statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, plans or intentions
relating to product candidates, potential market opportunities, estimates of market size, estimates of market growth, the potential clinical benefit, effect on histology and safety and tolerability profile of pegozafermin (formerly BIO89-100), the
clinical potential of pegozafermin, potential indications for pegozafermin, the association of clinical data with potential clinical benefit in other indications, the anticipated timing, design, endpoints, and conduct of our ongoing clinical trials
for pegozafermin, including the Phase 2 ENTRIGUE trial, the timing of anticipated milestones, the timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations and future results of anticipated product development
efforts and our liquidity and capital resources. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “objective,” “intend,”
“should,” “could,” “can,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “design,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “plan” or the
negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including: expectations regarding the timing and outcome of the Phase 2b ENLIVEN
trial in NASH and Phase 2 ENTRIGUE trial in SHTG; expectations regarding the timing of topline data; our ability to execute on our strategy; positive results from a clinical study may not necessarily be predictive of the results of future or ongoing
clinical studies; our substantial dependence on the success of our lead product candidate; competition from competing products; the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our clinical trials and business operations, and the impact of general economic,
health, industrial or political conditions in the United States or internationally; our reliance on third-party manufacturers and vendors to produce our product candidate and any future product candidates; the sufficiency of our capital resources
and our ability to raise additional capital; and other risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements expressed or implied in this presentation including those
described more fully our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in such report and in other subsequent disclosure documents filed with the SEC. We cannot assure you that we will realize
the results, benefits or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts,
and reflect our current views with respect to future events. Given the significant uncertainties, you should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this presentation in the context of these risks and uncertainties and not place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. All forward-looking statements in this presentation apply only as of the date made and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in
this presentation. We disclaim any intent to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law. We obtained the industry, market and competitive position data

Results support advancing to Phase 3
– potential first FGF21 analog to market Potentially quicker and efficient regulatory path to approval in SHTG Phase 3 initiation expected in 1H23; topline results ~ 2 years from study start ENTRIGUE results demonstrate compelling and
differentiated profile in SHTG Significant impact on triglycerides, liver fat, and associated metabolic co-morbidities Favorable safety and tolerability profile Exceeds target product profile defined by literature, KOLs & treating physicians
Pegozafermin – Potential Important New Cardio-Metabolic Drug SHTG represents a large potential opportunity given pegozafermin’s profile High unmet needs for better therapeutic options to address broader metabolic comorbidities Approved
therapies are sub-optimal resulting in large uncontrolled or untreated population ENTRIGUE results increase confidence in overall pegozafermin program - NASH ENLIVEN topline now expected in 1Q23
Average patient in ENTRIGUE study was
estimated to have a 23% risk of Major Cardiovascular Events (MACE) over 10 years (per ACC ASCVD risk estimator) Average patient: no prior CV event, 54 years old, male, white, BP 131/81, total cholesterol 240, HDL 28, LDL 89, diabetic,
non-smoker, taking anti-hypertensive medication, no statins or aspirin. Individual risks may vary. Patients with SHTG have multiple co-morbidities and significant health risks Increased Cardiovascular (CV) Risk Increased risk of CV disease, heart
failure and ischemic stroke Increased mortality in patients with CHD Increased risk of Acute Pancreatitis Increased prevalence of Diabetes SHTG is a Serious Disease in Need of Better Treatment Options “Most patients with severe
hypertriglyceridemia have multiple ASCVD risk factors and are at enhanced risk of developing atherosclerotic disease. This risk is conveyed by atherogenic VLDL plus other factors, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and hyperglycemia”
[2018 AHA/ACC Guideline For Cholesterol Management] ASCVD = Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
High Prevalence Disease: ~4M patients
in the United States SHTG is a Large Underserved Market Existing therapies have limitations Fish Oils: Minimal to moderate TG reduction, LDL elevations (some), no liver benefits Fibrates: Moderate TG reduction, major increase in LDL, myopathies
Statins (not approved for SHTG): Moderate TG reduction with high intensity regimen, other lipid benefits, potential liver and muscle toxicity ~50%* of diagnosed/treated patients are uncontrolled representing ~ 750,000 to 1,000,000 patients Market

Target Product Profile Criteria for
a New Therapy (Physician and KOL Research Completed by 89bio Before ENTRIGUE Data Readout) Triglyceride efficacy 30% as add-on therapy (50% is upside case) 30% achieve TG <500 mg (50% is upside case) Cardiometabolic benefits offer added value
Liver Fat reduction: 40% reduction from baseline HbA1c: 0.5% to 0.8% reduction in patients with T2DM Lipid changes: Non-HDL-C reduced by 25% LDL and HDL not changed (improvements is upside case) Pegozafermin Profile in ENTRIGUE Significantly
Exceeded Target Levels Source: Company estimates based on 2 Advisory Board Meetings with KOLs and Primary Research with 150 Physicians (2020)
KOL Experts & Physicians –
Pegozafermin profile is unique and compelling Target patient Patient with uncontrolled TGs despite drug therapy or past episode of acute pancreatitis Patient with history of cardiovascular risk factors Patients with background metabolic syndrome
symptoms Ideal profile – reduces TG to <500 mg/dL and reduces liver fat Glycemic control and other lipid benefits are additive Pegozafermin data exceeds threshold for adoption: 30% reduction in triglycerides >50% reduction in
triglycerides viewed as “excellent” Metabolic benefits make it a preferred option for patients with Fatty Liver Disease and T2DM KOL Experts & Physicians – Market Dynamics Lack of good treatment options in 2nd and 3rd line
