Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking
statements for purposes of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). Cytokinetics, Incorporated ("Cytokinetics" or the "Company") disclaims any intent or obligation to update these
forward-looking statements and claims the protection of the Act's Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements. Examples of such statements include, but are not limited to, statements express or implied related to Cytokinetics' research and
development and commercial readiness activities, including the initiation, conduct, design, enrollment, progress, continuation, completion, timing and results of clinical trials, projections regarding growing prevalence, low survival rates and
market opportunity in heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); projections regarding the size of the addressable patient population for aficamten, omecamtiv mecarbil, CK-136, CK-586
or any of our other drug candidates; Cytokinetics' commercial readiness for aficamten or omecamtiv mecarbil; our ability to submit a new drug application for aficamten with FDA in the third quarter 2024 or a marketing authorization application
with EMA in the fourth quarter 2024, the likelihood and/or timing of regulatory approval for our planned new drug application for aficamten, omecamtiv mecarbil or any future new drug application for any of our other drug candidates or the
anticipated timing of any interactions with FDA, EMA or any other regulatory authorities in connection thereto; the timing of completion of MAPLE-HCM, ACACIA-HCM, CEDAR-HCM or any of our other clinical trials, the efficacy or safety of aficamten,
omecamtiv mecarbil, CK-136, CK-586 or any of our other drug candidates, our ability to fully enroll or to announce the results of any of our clinical trials by any particular date; the properties, potential benefits and commercial potential of
aficamten, omecamtiv mecarbil, CK-136, CK-586 or any of Cytokinetics' other drug candidates. Such statements are based on management's current expectations; but actual results may differ materially due to various risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, potential difficulties or delays in the development, testing, regulatory approvals for trial commencement, progression or product sale or manufacturing, or production of Cytokinetics' drug candidates that could
slow or prevent clinical development or product approval, including risks that current and past results of clinical trials or preclinical studies may not be indicative of future clinical trial results, patient enrollment for or conduct of clinical
trials may be difficult or delayed, Cytokinetics' drug candidates may have adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy, the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies may delay or limit Cytokinetics' ability to conduct clinical
trials, and Cytokinetics may be unable to obtain or maintain patent or trade secret protection for its intellectual property; Cytokinetics may incur unanticipated research, development and other costs or be unable to obtain financing necessary to
conduct development of its products; standards of care may change, rendering Cytokinetics' drug candidates obsolete; and competitive products or alternative therapies may be developed by others for the treatment of indications
Cytokinetics' drug candidates and potential drug candidates may target. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Cytokinetics undertakes no obligation to subsequently update any such statement, except as
required by law. For further information regarding these and other risks related to Cytokinetics' business, investors should consult Cytokinetics' filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Disclaimer
