Forward Looking Statements
This presentation includes statements that are, or may be deemed, ‘‘forward-looking statements.’’ In some cases, these forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,”
“plans,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “approximately” or, in each case, their negative or other variations thereon or
comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. They appear in a number of places throughout this
presentation and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, projections, outlook, analyses or current expectations concerning, among
other things, our ongoing and planned discovery and development of drugs targeting cancer stem cells, the strength and breadth of our intellectual
property, our ongoing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials, the timing of and our ability to make regulatory filings and obtain and
maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates, the degree of clinical utility of our products, particularly in specific patient populations,
expectations regarding clinical trial data, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth and strategies, the length of
time that we will be able to continue to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures, our expected financing needs and sources of
financing, the industry in which we operate and the trends that may affect the industry or us.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events, competitive dynamics, and healthcare,
regulatory and scientific developments and depend on the economic circumstances that may or may not occur in the future or may occur on longer
or shorter timelines than anticipated. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this
presentation, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations,
financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking
statements contained in this presentation as a result of, among other factors, the factors referenced in the “Risk Factors” section of our
Registration Statement on Form S-1 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2013 as subsequently amended to date
(our “Registration Statement”). In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry
in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, they may not be predictive of results or
developments in future periods. Any forward-looking statements that we make in this presentation speak only as of the date of such statement,
and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation, except as
required by law.
You should read carefully our “Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the factors described in the “Risk Factors”
sections of our Registration Statement to better understand the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business.

Lung Cancer and HS-110
Background
Heat’s HS-110 Therapy
 Cells are genetically modified to secrete gp96
 and most known (and many unknown) lung
 cancer antigens
 Pan-antigen cytotoxic T-cell immune response
Treatment
 Powerful immune activation
 Positive safety profile based on preclinical
 studies and one clinical study
 The drug is administered in a simple,
 once-a-week injection

Survival Prospects
Median survival ~ 4.5 months*
1 year survival >6%*
“Without any chemotherapy, the average person will live about 4½ months.
With chemotherapy most will live longer and some will live a shorter time. More recent chemotherapy trials
have shown that people live about 3 months longer than if they did not get chemotherapy …
… Even with chemotherapy, the chance of being alive at one year is about 30-50%;
the chance of dying within this year is 50-70%.”

Lung Cancer is the Second Most Common Cancer in
US with No Reliable Treatment Options for Late-Stage

HS-110 NSCLC Phase 1 Clinical Trail Results
l Well-tolerated with no overt toxicity and no treatment-related SAEs
l 18 patients treated, 15 patients completed first course of therapy, 2 patients
 completed 3 courses of therapy
l Single agent clinical activity in late-stage 3b and 4 lung cancer
  As is typical in immunotherapy, no observed partial or complete responses
  7 patients exhibited stable disease after single course of therapy
l Immune response observed in 73% (11 out of 15) of patients who
 completed their first course of therapy
  Immune response predictive of survival (HR: 0.021, 95% CI:0.002-
 0.204)
  The 11 immune responders exhibited a median survival of 16.9 months (95%
 CI: 7.1-20) while the 4 immune non-responders exhibited a median survival of
 4.5 months, which is consistent with the expected survival times in this patient
 population
  Two late-stage patients survive >3 years
  One HS-110 patient alive >3 yrs. and another patient still alive >4 yrs.
l Median 1 year overall survival rate of patients in the study was 44% (95%
 CI: 21.6-65.1) comparing favorably to a 5.5% rate based on published data
 from a 43-patient advanced NSCLC population

Highly Activated Immune Response
Methodology
Samples collected for immune
   response at baseline and after a
   minimum of one 6-week course of
   therapy were analyzed
To determine the frequency of CD8
   IFN-γ, purified CD8 T cells collected
   from patients were stimulated with
   vaccine
+ indicates first increase, solid lines
   indicate immune response (IR+),
   dashed lines no response (IR−)
Results
In 11 of the 15 patients (73%)
   completing the first course of therapy
   with HS-110, there was a twofold or
   greater increase in CD8 cells secreting
   interferon gamma (CD8-CTL IFN-γ)
   following vaccination

Immune Response Predictive of Survival
In 11 of the 15 patients (73%) completing the first course of therapy with HS-110, there was a twofold or greater increase in CD8 cells
secreting interferon gamma (CD8-CTL IFN-γ) following vaccination. In a non-prespecified analysis, the responders saw a threefold
increase in median overall survival compared to non-responders in the trial, from 4.5 months to 16.9 months
