• Neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the formation in the brain of neurofibrillary tangles

• Inhibition of the enzyme OGA has emerged as a drug target by preventing formation of the NFTs through reduction in tau phosphorylation

• Summit is developing potent, selective OGA inhibitors using Seglin™ technology

• Encouraging in vivo and in vitro data shows:

– In vitro efficacy in human cell disease models

– Able to penetrate through the blood brain barrier into the central nervous system

– Reduction in tau phosphorylation in in vivo studies

• Further development and evaluation of OGA inhibitors on-going to establish in vivo

proof of concept and identify a lead candidate

Outlook

• Opportunity to achieve key development milestones in lead programmes within the next 12 months

– Completion of Phase I trial in DMD

– Completion of Phase I clinical trial in C. difficile programme

– Advance OGA / tauopathies programme through to in vivo proof of concept

• Achieving these milestones is expected to act as a catalyst for realising the value of programme assets through a commercial deal

• Potential for significant near-term value growth from current market cap
