REALIZING THE POTENTIAL OF RNA-BASED TECHNOLOGY
34TH ANNUAL COWEN AND COMPANY HEALTHCARE CONFERENCE
MARCH 4, 2014 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation includes a number of forward-looking statements, including statements about the development and clinical status of Sarepta's product candidates and the potential efficacy, safety, and clinical results from ongoing or future studies involving Sarepta’s product candidates including the potential for eteplirsen to lead to the creation of ongoing novel dystrophin and its ability to lead to significant clinical benefit, including as measured by the 6MWT and exploratory measures, over a longer course of treatment. The potential, timing and success for: obtaining clarity on a pivotal trial design; finalizing the protocol and dosing of patients with eteplirsen; regulatory meeting, submissions, filings and review and approval of Sarepta's product candidates; the potential for expedited approval by the FDA for eteplirsen; the amount and type of data that will be necessary for the FDA’s regulatory determinations; our manufacturing plans; the impact of manufacturing and development activities on NDA submission timelines; the pricing and market opportunity for our product candidates; our ability to manufacture candidates successfully; our plans to expand our research efforts and capabilities and strategic investments to grow our business and advance our product candidates; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; future financial performance, including revenues, expenses, and financing, sufficiency of our cash reserves; funding from the government, and other sources and collaboration and partnering opportunities.

SIGNIFICANT UNMET MEDICAL NEED • Small, well-defined patient pool • Strong advocacy, high-profile rare disease • Physicians, patients, parents/caregivers highly motivated to seek treatment • No disease-modifying therapies currently available, high cost of care
ATTRACTIVE MARKET OPPORTUNITY • Affects ~1 in 3500 boys worldwide • ~35,000 DMD patients in US and Europe • Lead program of exon 51 skipping drug could benefit over 4000 pts in US and EU • Additional exon-skipping drugs offer 3x-6x commercial potential beyond eteplirsen
THE CAUSE OF DUCHENNE IS A LACK OF DYSTROPHIN LESS THAN 5% OF NORMAL PROTEIN LEVELS

RESPIRATORY FUNCTION DECLINE IN DMD
High incidence of respiratory illness and death in late-stage DMD patients associated with progressive muscle weakness
Majority of respiratory failures due to ineffective cough and impaired airway clearance
MAXIMUM INSPIRATORY AND EXPIRATORY PRESSURE (MIP AND MEP) AND FORCED VITAL CAPACITY (FVC)
Sensitive measures of respiratory muscle strength well characterized in the disease natural history
MEP typically deteriorates before MIP and FVC in DMD patients
Declines in MIP and MEP correlate with decreases in voluntary cough capacity

Leiden researchers showed that PMO chemistry has up to 10-fold higher dystrophin production in DMD mouse model across various muscle groups
Sarepta comparison studies of eteplirsen versus PRO051 sequences showed up to 10-fold higher exon-skipping activity controlling for all other variables
Sarepta’s eteplirsen studied at a 5- to 8- fold higher dose than drisapersen in clinical studies (30mg-50mg/kg vs. 6mg/kg) for DMD
Cytokine screen demonstrated clear differentiation between PMO and 2-O’-Methyl chemistries with respect to induction of inflammatory markers NEXT GENERATION PMO-BASED CHEMISTRIES ENHANCED TISSUE TARGETING, INTRACELLULAR DELIVERY AND DRUG POTENCY
