Such statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates and expectations will be achieved. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, other than historical facts, including statements regarding the expected timing of the closing of the merger; the ability of the parties to complete the merger considering the various closing conditions; the expected benefits of the merger, such as efficiencies, cost savings, tax benefits, enhanced revenues and cash flow, growth potential, market profile and financial strength; the competitive ability and position of the combined company; Idera’s and BioCryst’s plans, objectives expectations and intentions; any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any statements relating to the merger, are forward-looking statements.

Wall Street Analysts Recognize Value of Combination 16 “We view the merger favorably for creating pipeline "critical mass" (and risk diversification) versus clear clinical synergies, a direct correlation between the respective programs. We believe the merger adds strength in the form of 1) broader pipeline of rare disease candidates building on BioCryst’s established ‘7353 clinical program, 2) deeper management team that combines an effective leadership track record in rare diseases (specifically HAE development and commercialization) with an emboldened balance sheet, and 3) 4-Phase II/III candidates to yield more value-creating milestones including Phase III enrollment and Phase II data anticipated in ’18.” (Piper Jaffray, 1/23/18) “ We believe [the combination] will provide enhanced HAE regulatory and commercial experience within a more diversified combined company framework that should help optimize the opportunity for BCRX's lead asset '7353 (prospects for which recently led us to upgrade BCRX shares to Outperform), synergize talents, increase newsflow, and ultimately drive long-term value.” (RBC Capital Markets, 1/22/18) “We believe that in addition to the BCRX's team's developmental, regulatory, and commercial preparation groundwork for '7353, IDRA's leadership brings key on-the-ground expertise interacting with FDA, physicians, and HAE advocacy groups which should substantially strengthen '7353's opportunity as the new company works to bring '7353 over the line and foster a switching dynamic. Importantly, we believe the IDRA team's diligence provides additional validation for '7353's clinical data (which has been a subject of debate, though we believe the efficacy is real), BCRX's initial regulatory progress, and the market need for an oral option in the disease.” (RBC Capital Markets, 1/22/18) “We like the merger for several reasons: 1) leadership gain for BCRX’s oral kallikrein program in HAE (hereditary angioedema) as Vincent Milano has previously led the successful launch of the first prophylactic HAE product Cinryze which was later acquired by Shire (SHPG, NC); 2) portfolio diversification with a broader set of non-overlapping rare disease opportunities 3) distinct discovery platforms combining BCRX’s small molecule chemistry expertise with IDRA’s oligos approach gives the new company more optionality when it comes to choosing the right modality for the right disease; and 4) the combined net cash balance of ~$243M (unaudited pro forma cash as of 12/31/2017) strengthens the new company’s financial resources to pursue current clinical operations, future commercial efforts and long-term ambition to become a major rare disease player with multiple shots on goal.” (JMP Securities, 1/22/18) “ Synergy between the companies will likely be derived from shared expertise in rare diseases. In a disease like HAE, where executing within a challenging competitive landscape could be critical, we believe additional expertise could actually increase chances of success. Further, we appreciate how the separate expertise (BCRX w/ small molecules and IDRA w/ oligos) could be combined and leveraged in future rare disease pipeline innovation.” (Jefferies, 1/23/18) Note: Permission to use quotations neither sought nor obtained.

Predictable PK Supports 175 mg as Second Dose in Phase 3 25 Given the predictable PK of BCX7353, simulations are helpful in selecting an intermediate dose of BCX7353 to study that is between 125 mg and 250 mg. These simulations suggest a relatively small increase in dose above 125 mg should achieve a significant increase in the proportion of subjects achieving trough levels above the therapeutic target. These simulations suggest 175 mg dose should maintain trough drug levels > 4 x EC50 in > 90% of patients. Doses > 200 mg offer little additional increment in proportions achieving target level.

Phase 1 Conclusions 32 The combination of IMO-2125 with ipilimumab was tolerable at all dose levels studied; Dendritic cell activation, detectable within 24 hours of the first IMO-2125 injection, is evidence for target acquisition at the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (8mg); IMO-2125 with ipilimumab showed clinical activity at the RP2D of 8mg in anti-PD-1 refractory melanoma; 5 of 10 (50%) responded; 7 of 10 (70%) experiencing disease control; and An additional PR of >1year has been reported at 4mg Dose finding for IMO-2125 with pembrolizumab is ongoing, and one partial response (PR) has been seen.
