Forward-looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, which are often indicated by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “look forward to,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” "will,” “would” and similar

  • expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and

assumptions and on information available to management only as of the date of this

  • presentation. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements

regarding the development of our gene therapies, the success of our collaborations, and the risk of cessation, delay or lack of success of any of our ongoing or planned clinical studies and/or development of our product candidates. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, without limitation, risks associated with collaboration arrangements, our and our collaborators’ clinical development activities, regulatory oversight, development of product candidates, product commercialization and intellectual property claims, as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in uniQure’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on July 29, 2019. Given these risks, uncertainties and

  • ther factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,

and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

AMT-130: targeting of aberrant exon1 HTT increased in median survival in exon1 mouse model

R6/2 transgenic mice:

  • Express exclusively mutant HTT exon1 (125 repeats)
  • Most severe HD-like pathology among HD mouse models
  • Do not contain Roche RG6042 target sequence

Strong increase in median survival in R6/2 HD mice

NOTE: Previously reported data of Ionis/Roche in R6/2 transgenic mice was obtained with HuASOEx1, which is not the clinical candidate RG6042

  • More stable in plasma
  • More efficient uptake
  • Better end-organ distribution

inhibitors to α-gal replacement therapy

  • NAGA is not neutralized by α-

gal inhibitors

  • No loss of activity due to α-gal

inhibitors
