INOpulse Provides a Unique and Differentiating Mechanism of Action Baseline Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction prevents oxygen desaturation Systemic Vasodilators Systemic vasodilators can reverse hypoxic vasoconstriction leading to ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch and arterial O2 desaturation INOpulse Providing iNO early in the inspiratory phase allows for targeted vasodilation of only the well ventilated alveoli thereby preventing V/Q mismatch and O2 desaturation January 2019 | 8
Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) A Significant Unmet Medical Need Normal Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a broad category of diffuse lung diseases characterized by variable amounts of inflammation and fibrosis Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is the largest and most serious of the many fibrotic subsets of ILDs IPF Patients with pulmonary fibrosis have thickening and scarring of the air sacs in the lungs, and often require supplemental oxygen to maintain adequate oxygen saturation January 2019 | 9
PH-ILD Significantly Reduces Survival Pulmonary hypertension as predictor of Approximately 40% of IPF patients exhibit symptoms of pulmonary survival in IPF hypertension at rest, including elevated pulmonary pressures Prognosis and survival are significantly worse for patients with pulmonary hypertension PH-IPF associated with a 3-fold increase in risk of death compared to IPF alone No approved therapy for treating PH in these patients INOpulse has the potential to provide targeted vasodilation while avoiding concerns of V/Q mismatch which have prevented current PAH systemic vasodilators to be approved for this unmet medical need Rivera-Lebron, Advances in Pulmonary Hypertension, 2013 January 2019 | 10
Phase 2a Study PH-IPF Acute Phase Data Showed Immediate Benefit of iNO on Vasodilation and Hemodynamics • Significant correlation between ventilation and vasodilation, demonstrating selective vasodilation to better ventilated areas of the lung (p=0.009) • Consistent and clinically meaningful reduction of 14% in systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) • Clinically meaningful improvement oxygen desaturation of 28.5% and SpO2 nadir of 5.5% Targeted Vasodilation Ventilation/Vasodilation Matching January 2019 | 11
Phase 2b (iNO-PF) Study Allows Assessment of Multiple Doses and Duration of Treatment Double-blind placebo controlled study will assess 80 subjects with pulmonary fibrosis at low or intermediate/high risk of associated pulmonary hypertension • Endpoints include actigraphy, oxygen saturation, right ventricular function, and others • Multiple Cohorts allows for evaluation of higher doses and longer duration of treatment • Enrollment in Cohort 1 is complete with study positive study results presented in January 2019 • Cohorts 2 and 3 expected to readout later in 2019 iNO-PF Phase 2b Study Design Cohort 1 Blinded Treatment (8wks) Open Label Treatment iNO 30 iNO 30 (1:1) n=40 iNO 30 followed by dose escalation to iNO 45 and then iNO 75 Cohort 2 Open Label Treatment Blinded Treatment (16wks) iNO 45 (2:1) n=20 iNO 45 iNO 45 followed by dose escalation to iNO 75 Cohort 3 Open Label Treatment Blinded Treatment (16wks) iNO 75 (2:1) n=20 iNO 75 iNO 75 January 2019 | 12
Summary of Key Outputs from iNO-PF Phase 2b Trial (Cohort 1) iNO Placebo Actigraphy (% change) • Moderate Activity (walking, stairs, +8% -26% • Statistically significant reduction in moderate activity for yardwork, etc.) placebo (p=0.04) • Overall Activity +0% -12% • Statistically significant reduction in overall activity for placebo (p=0.05) NT-ProBNP • Peptide marker indicator of cardiac failure (% change) +15% +42% • Larger increase in placebo indicative of disease worsening Oxygen Saturation • Oxygen Desaturation -9% +11% • Lower desaturation for iNO=better saturation • SpO2 Nadir +0.3% -1.4% • Higher nadir for iNO=better saturation • Results show iNO provides statistically significant improvement in activity as measured by a wearable medical-grade activity monitor (Actigraph GT9X) • Changes in NT-ProBNP are consistent with activity results, showing greater worsening for placebo subjects • Unlike other approved PAH systemic vasodilators; INOpulse targeted delivery improves oxygen saturation during exercise January 2019 | 13

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (PH-COPD) A Large Unmet Medical Need Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema is a group of lung diseases characterized by progressive airflow obstruction and chronic airway inflammation COPD is typically associated with smoking or exposure to other pollutants such as dust or chemicals Obstruction of the bronchioles and alveoli reduces the ability to get oxygen and ultimately leads to hypoxemia Hypoxemia and inflammation in COPD are thought to contribute to the development of associated pulmonary hypertension January 2019 | 17
Pulmonary Hypertension Independently Predicts Reduced Survival in Moderate- to-Severe COPD Pulmonary hypertension • COPD patients with Pulmonary Hypertension have poor as predictor of survival in COPD prognosis and QoL 5 Year Survival • Median life-expectancy is ~4 years with high mPAP < 25 mmHg: 63% mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg: 37% hospitalization rates and impaired exercise capacity mPAP < 25 mmHg No approved therapy for treating PH in these patients • Existing PAH therapies lower pulmonary pressures but mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg negatively influence oxygenation in PH-COPD • Pulsed iNO can be targeted to the best ventilated alveoli only • Dilation of best ventilated alveoli to reduce pulmonary Survival years pressure and prevent admixture of less oxygenated blood 2 Andersen KH et al.
