Supported by human genetics, WVE-007 (INHBE GalNAc-siRNA) expected to
drive healthy, sustainable weight loss INHBE silencing expected to induce fat loss, Distinct pathway as compared to GLP-1s while maintaining muscle mass 1 Weight loss with no impact on muscle mass Silencing INHBE gene by 50%
is expected to recapitulate the healthy metabolic profile of INHBE loss of function Preferential reduction of visceral fat 1,2,3 (LoF) carriers, including: 3 No suppression of general reward system Reduced waist-to-hip
ratio Reduced serum No loss of appetite Reduced odds ratio of type 2 triglycerides diabetes and coronary artery Elevated HDL-c GalNAc-siRNA enables infrequent dosing; 1 - 2x/year disease by >25%
INHBE (Inhibin E) expressed primarily in liver and gene Wave's INHBE siRNA program may address these 4 product (activin E) acts on its receptor in adipose tissue limitations and / or work complementarily with GLP-1s

WVE-007 has Wave's next generation siRNA format and best-in-class
profile with infrequent dosing INHBE program: Data from DIO mouse model supports best-in-class profile and potential use of WVE-007 in multiple treatment settings Highly potent (ED50 < 1mg/kg) and durable silencing following one,
low-single-digit dose, supporting every-six-month or annual dosing Monotherapy: Weight loss similar to semaglutide with no loss of muscle mass and a reduction in fat mass, with preferential effect to the visceral fat (consistent with
profile of INHBE LoF carriers in human genetics) Add-on to GLP-1s: When administered as an add-on with semaglutide, a single dose of Wave's INHBE GalNAc-siRNA doubled the weight loss observed with semaglutide alone and this effect was
sustained throughout the duration of the study Maintenance: Curtailed rebound weight gain upon cessation of semaglutide Expect to initiate clinical trial for WVE-007 in 1Q 2025 19
WVE-N531 Splicing Duchenne muscular dystrophy 20
Urgent need for improved therapeutic options for the treatment of DMD
Duchenne is a devastating and fatal disease Genetic mutation in dystrophin gene prevents the production of dystrophin protein, a critical component of healthy muscle function Impacts ~1 / 5,000 newborn boys annually; ~20,000 new
cases annually worldwide - ~8-10% are amenable to exon 53 skipping - Potential for Wave to address up to 40% of DMD with additional exon skipping therapeutics Multiple urgent unmet needs Need for therapies delivering more consistent
dystrophin expression, as few patients today achieve dystrophin >5% of normal Opportunity to extend dosing intervals beyond weekly standard of care to alleviate burden for patients and caregivers Need to reach stem cells and
distribute broadly to muscle tissues to potentially enable muscle regeneration and impact respiratory and Boy living with DMD cardiac function 21 Duan, D. et al. 2021 Nat Rev Dis Primers 7, 13; Muscular Dystrophy Association; Aartsma-Rus, et al.
