8 Liminatus Pharma, LLC 1. Cancer Therapeutics 04 • For successful cancer immunotherapy treatment, the Cancer Immunity Cycle must operate smoothly through close cooperation betw een innate immunity and T cell - centered adaptive immunity, with the patient's immune system maintaining continuous activation until the complete elimination of the last cance r c ell. • While most immune oncology drugs currently marketed or under development focus exclusively on enhancing T cell - centered adaptive immunity, there are no FDA - approved immune oncology drugs that directly activate innate immunity, which represents the first step of the Cancer Immunity Cycle. Recogniz ing this market gap, Innovation Bio has designed a CD47 blocking agent pipeline focused on innate immune activation. • CD47 blocking agents can demonstrate anticancer effects through innate immune responses even as monotherapy; however, to maxi miz e T cell activation essential for achieving high efficacy in cancer immunotherapy, the core strategy involves combining CD47 blockade - induced innate immune responses with T cell boosters such as PD - 1/PD - L1 inhibitors. • Given the limited anticancer effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors when used alone, CD47 blocking agents are evaluated as o ne of the most promising pipelines capable of achieving excellent synergistic effects with T cell boosters currently under development. • As CD47 blocking agents continue to demonstrate synergistic effects through joint clinical studies with T cell boosters, the mar ket potential of immune checkpoint inhibitors is expected to expand, leading to the formation of a broader market and anticipating strong synergistic effects through various pipelines ta rgeting each stage of the Cancer Immunity Cycle. * Chen DS, Mellman I.

Exploiting Phagocytic Checkpoints in Nanomedicine: Applications in Imaging and Combination Therapies. Front Chem. 2021 Mar 3;9:642530 • “Don’t Eat Me” Signal CD47 on the surface of cancer cells engages SIRP α on macrophages to transmit an inhibitory signal that blocks the phagocytic machinery, allowing tumor cells to evade clearance. • Ligand of SIRP α on Macrophage CD47 serves as the cognate ligand for the macrophage receptor SIRP α; their interaction recruits phosphatases (e.g., SHP - 1/SHP - 2) that shut down “eat me” signaling pathways inside the macrophage. • How CD47 Blockade Promotes Phagocytosis By preventing CD47 – SIRP α binding, CD47 antibodies remove the inhibitory checkpoint, unleashing macrophage uptake of tumor cells and enhancing processing and presentation of tumor antigens.

10 Liminatus Pharma, LLC 2. Don’t Eat Me Signal and CD47 Blockade 06 Mechanism of CD47 – SIRPα Checkpoint and Anti - CD47 Blockade • Cis - and Trans - Interactions Inhibit Phagocytosis Trans - interaction : CD47 on tumor cells binds SIRP α on macrophages across the intercellular synapse, delivering a “Don’t Eat Me” signal. Cis - interaction : CD47 and SIRP α on the same macrophage pair up, maintaining an autoinhibitory checkpoint that further suppresses engulfment.. • Anti - CD47 Antibody Disrupts Inhibitory Checkpoints Binding of anti - CD47 antibodies to tumor - cell CD47 (and blocking cis - CD47 on macrophages) prevents engagement of SIRPα. Loss of both cis - and trans - inhibitory signals unleashes macrophage phagocytic activity toward tumor cells.. • Clinical Limitation: Hematologic Toxicity However, anti - CD47 blockade has consistently induced severe anemia and thrombocytopenia in the majority of trial subjects, leading to the sequential discontinuation of many clinical programs.

IBA101; Next Generation Anti - CD47 Blockade 07 Selective binding of IBA101 to CD47 on immune and tumor cells, sparing RBCs and platelets IBA101 preferentially binds CD47 on nucleated immune and tumor cells, while sparing CD47 on anucleate red blood cells and platelets. • IBA101 represents a breakthrough in CD47 blockade technology by exploiting a unique glycosylation signature on nucleated cells. • IBA101 is a humanized anti – human CD47 IgG4 monoclonal antibody that targets a CD47 epitope occluded by an additional glycosylation site found exclusively on anucleate red blood cells and platelets . • Because nucleated immune and tumor cells lack this extra glycan , IBA101 binds their CD47 but cannot engage CD47 on red blood cells or platelets — thereby avoiding the severe anemia and thrombocytopenia seen with earlier CD47 antibodies.

IBA101; Next Generation Anti - CD47 Blockade 12 IBA101 synergistically enhances anti - tumor responses with I/O drugs boosting T cell responses Versatile Synergy of IBA101 with Multiple T - Cell – Boosting Checkpoint Modulators . • In a human SIRPα/CD47 double knock - in mouse model bearing MC38 - hCD47 tumors, IBA101 (anti - hCD47) demonstrated strong anti - tumor activity not only in combination with PD - 1 blockade, but also when paired with agonists or antagonists of other key T - cell co - stimulatory and inhibitory pathways: x Anti - 4 - 1BB + IBA101: Co - administration of a 4 - 1BB agonist with IBA101 led to near - complete tumor regression, whereas each agent alone produced only modest effects. x Anti - TIGIT + IBA101: Combining TIGIT blockade with IBA101 markedly delayed tumor growth compared to either monotherapy. x Anti - PD - 1 + IBA101: Reaffirming prior data, dual PD - 1/CD47 inhibition synergistically suppressed tumor progression and improved survival. • These data underscore IBA101’s ability to synergize broadly across diverse immuno - oncology modalities — demonstrating its versatility as a backbone for combination regimens that potentiate multiple T - cell activation pathways.

18 Liminatus Pharma, LLC 3. IBA101; Next Generation Anti - CD47 Blockade 14 Powerful and Safe Treatment Strategy • PD - 1/PD - L1 inhibitors boost T cell activity, but their increased interferon - gamma levels can suppress macrophage differentiation , thereby reducing the initial immune response. In contrast, IBA101 not only lifts the ‘Don’t Eat Me’ signal but also promotes macrophage proliferation and differe nti ation. This dual action suggests that combining IBA101 with PD - 1/PD - L1 blockade could enhance overall antitumor immunity, especially in resistant cancers. • IBA101 is a promising advancement in immuno - oncology, designed to overcome the limitations of earlier therapies and improve trea tment outcomes when used in combination with existing standards.

As newer immuno - oncology drugs are developed, they are expected to also become standard therapies over time. • Combination Therapy as a Necessity : By the time IBA101, our anti - CD47 monoclonal antibody (mAb), reaches commercialization, it will be essential to combine it with PD - 1/PD - L1 inhibitors, which will already be established as standard therapeutic regimen. • Collaboration with AstraZeneca's Imfinzi : AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi (PD - L1 inhibitor), ranked 5th in global sales with $2.4 billion in 2021, presents an ideal candidate for combination studies. Positive clinical results from such combination trials could attract AstraZeneca’s interest in licensing IBA101, given their active pursuit of joint research projects to expand market share. • Distinct Competitive Advantage of IBA101 : Among CD47 inhibitors, IBA101 is one of only two candidates (alongside Akesobio's product) with a safety profile suitable for combination with PD - 1/PD - L1 therapies. This differentiation positions IBA101 as a leading candidate in the CD47 blockade space. • Market Growth Potential : The low response rate of current PD - 1/PD - L1 inhibitors can potentially be improved through combination with CD47 blockades. If proven, the CD47 blockade market could grow rapidly, mirroring the market size of PD - 1/PD - L1 inhibitors, which reached $17.19 billion in 2021 (led by Keytruda from MSD ). • Development Stage: Preparation of the IND package for the FDA Phase 1 clinical trial application is scheduled to begin in Q3 2025.

20 Liminatus Pharma, LLC 16 5. Market Size and Growth Prospects of CD47 Blockade Therapeutics Market Outlook for CD47 Blockade • CD47 blockade represents one of the most promising pipelines for achieving excellent synergistic effects with the T cell boosters currently under development. Therefore, as CD47 blockade continues to demonstrate synergistic effects through joint clinical studies with T cell boosters, the market potential of immune checkpoint inhibitors is expected to expand, leading to the formation of an increasingly broad market • CD47 immune checkpoint inhibitors are expected to penetrate the market primarily through combination therapy with PD - 1/PD - L1 blockades rather than as standalone treatments. The global market for PD - 1/PD - L1 blockades was estimated at $49.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $123.3 billion by 2033. If CD47 immune checkpoint inhibitors are successfully brought to market, they are expected to grow alongside the PD - 1/PD - L1 blockade market, potentially starting at 10 - 20% of the PD - 1/PD - L1 market size by 2030 and rapidly expanding to reach the same market scale.
