CD34+ Cell Therapy Technology Overview
Naturally occurring endothelial progenitor cells that re-establish blood flow to under-perfused tissues1,2 Possess pre-programmed pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory tissue repair properties3,4 1Mackie, A.R. et al., Tex Heart Inst J 2011, 38(5), 474-485 2Kocher, A.A. et al., Nat Med 2001, 440-436 53Abd-Allah et al., Cytotherapy 2015, 17: 443-53 4Lo , B.C. et al., Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 2017, 57: 651-61 CD34+ cells have a well characterized mechanism of action
CD34+ cells have been studied clinically in a variety of ischemic disease indications by numerous investigators across many sites and countries CD34+ cells repeatedly demonstrated vascular repair in multiple organs Consistent and compelling results of rigorous clinical studies comprising >1,000 patients have been published in peer reviewed journals1-4 A single treatment has elicited durable therapeutic effect No cell-related adverse events reported to date 1 Povsic, T. et al. JACC Cardiovasc Interv, 2016, 9 (15) 1576-1585 2 Losordo, D.W. et al.

CKD: multiple stages progressing toward kidney failure 1 2020 Dallas Nephrology Associates 2 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Chronic Kidney Disease Surveillance System—United States. The stages of CKD are determined by glomerular filtration rate (GFR)1 GFR is measured to determine the level of creatinine in the blood (serum creatinine) As kidney function worsens, the level of creatinine increases and GFR decreases In 2015-2016, 14%-15% of U.S. adults had evidence of CKD stages 1-4; of these, ~15 to 18 million had evidence of CKD stage 3 or 42 28 STAGE 4 Severe loss of function STAGE 5 Kidney failure STAGE 3B Moderate to Severe loss of function STAGE 1 Normal function STAGE 2 Mild loss of function STAGE 3A Mild to Moderate loss of function
