Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) at the FDA Nov. 2019: Appointed Badrul Chowdhury, M.D., Ph.D as Chief Medical Officer Focused resources on molgramostim in aPAP Updated guidance on IMPALA 2 trial initiation to Q2 2021 Discontinued development of
vancomycin inhalation powder (AeroVanc) and inhaled ciprofloxacin (Apulmiq) Dec. 2020: Reprioritization of Pipeline Sept. 2020: IMPALA results published in New England Journal of Medicine Data demonstrating synchronous improvement across multiple
outcome measures that reflect physiological, clinical, radiologic, and biochemical disease manifestations provide strong support for a beneficial treatment effect of molgramostim in aPAP Member of Savara's Board of Directors since 2017
Extensive experience and expertise in rare disease sector Dec. 2020: Appointed Matthew Pauls, Chairman and Interim CEO since Sept. 2020, to Chairman and Permanent CEO Q2 2021: Initiate Phase 3 IMPALA 2 trial by end of quarter, leveraging key
learnings from first IMPALA trial Q2 2024: Anticipate top line data read out from IMPALA 2 trial Upcoming Catalysts * Molgramostim, formerly referred to as Molgradex.
Executive Leadership We are a team with
deep expertise in orphan lung diseases and pulmonary medicine and a proven track record that spans from early clinical development through commercialization. Matthew Pauls Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Badrul Chowdhury Chief Medical

Molgramostim for Autoimmune Pulmonary
Alveolar Proteinosis (aPAP) Molgramostim
aPAP: A Disease of Alveolar Macrophage
Dysfunction Alveolar macrophages Need GM-CSF for maturation, expansion, and function (e.g., surfactant clearance) GM-CSF Critical to alveolar homeostasis, structure, function, and host defense aPAP Caused by GM-CSF autoantibodies which block GM-CSF
signaling and reduce surfactant clearance Surfactant accumulation causes altered gas exchange in the lung, reduced blood oxygenation, and, ultimately, hypoxemic respiratory failure Baseline (Week 0) After Treatment (Week 24) aPAP PATIENT From IMPALA
