Progeria Fact Sheet Eiger BioPharmaceuticals is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing first-in-class, well-characterized drugs for patients with life-threatening rare and ultra-rare diseases with high About Eiger unmet medical needs. Eiger has a late-stage pipeline that includes three breakthrough therapy designated programs including its lead clinical program in hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection. What is Progeria Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS or Progeria), is an ultra-rare, multisystemic disease that accelerates mortality in young patients due to accumulation of cellular progerin.1 Progeria manifests most visibly with rapid aging.2 Children and young adults with Progeria die of the same cardiovascular disease that affects millions of normally aging adults (arteriosclerosis). Separate and distinct from Progeria, Progeroid Laminopathies are genetic conditions that do not produce progerin, but progerin-like proteins, that result in accelerated aging.3 There are 126 children and young adults identified with Progeria and 55 identified with Progeroid Laminopathies worldwide by The Progeria Research Foundation as of October 2020.4 In the U.S., there are 14 children and young adults with Progeria and 6 with Progeroid Laminopathies.4 See summary of Important Safety Information below and attached full Prescribing Information At-A-Glance 400 children and young adults worldwide estimated to be living with Progeria4 53 countries identified that have children and young adults living with Progeria4 14.5 YEARS Average life expectancy of a patient with Progeria without treatment with Zokinvy5 Zein, Egypt, age 3.

Clinical Snapshot In clinical studies, Zokinvy demonstrated survival benefit in children and young adults with Progeria.6 60% Many children and young adults 10+ YEARS with Progeria have received Reduced incidence therapy for >10 years.4 of mortality.6 2.5 Increase in average Dosed in more than 90 children and 6 90 6 YEARS survival time. young adults in clinical studies. The most commonly reported adverse reactions were gastrointestinal.6 See information below. See summary of Important Safety Information below and attached full Prescribing Information Indication & Usage ZOKINVY is indicated in patients 12 months of age and older with a body surface area of 0.39 m2 and above: • To reduce risk of mortality in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome • For treatment of processing-deficient Progeroid Laminopathies with either: - Heterozygous LMNA mutation with progerin-like protein accumulation - Homozygous or compound heterozygous ZMPSTE24 mutations Limitations of Use • Not indicated for other Progeroid Syndromes or processing-proficient Progeroid Laminopathies. Based upon its mechanism of action, ZOKINVY would not be expected to be effective in these populations. Contraindications • Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors or inducers • Midazolam • Lovastatin, simvastatin, and atorvastatin Important Safety Information • The most common adverse reactions are vomiting (90%), diarrhea (81%), infection (78%), nausea (56%), decreased appetite (53%), fatigue (51%), upper respiratory tract infection (51%), abdominal pain (48%), musculoskeletal pain (48%), electrolyte abnormalities (43%), headache (37%), decreased weight (37%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (35%), myelosuppression (35%), cough (33%), decreased blood bicarbonate (33%), hypertension (29%), and increased alanine aminotransferase (27%). • Gastrointestinal adverse reactions were the most frequently reported adverse reactions: The majority were mild or moderate in nature. • Over the course of the trials, 18 (29%) patients had hypertension based on systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure measurements above the 95th percentile on 3 or more occasions. • As nephrotoxicity was seen in animal studies, renal function should be monitored at regular intervals during ZOKINVY therapy. • Increased liver enzymes were generally mild to moderate in nature, asymptomatic with no evidence of impaired liver function.
