3 Briquilimab is an investigative drug and is not approved for any indication Jasper is focused on the development of new therapeutics targeting significant unmet clinical needs in diseases driven by mast or stem cells • Jasper is developing briquilimab across multiple mast cell mediated diseases, including Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) and Chronic Inducible Urticaria (CIndU) • Mast cells are potent inflammatory drivers in a number of allergic and dermatological diseases affecting millions of patients, with limited treatment options • c - Kit inhibition is the only therapeutic mechanism that has been shown to significantly deplete mast cells, potentially delivering durable disease control • Anti - c - Kit potency and PK properties of briquilimab allow for mast cell depletion while minimizing unwanted adverse effects on other cell types • Multiple company - sponsored clinical studies of briquilimab with key data read outs expected in 2024

5 Briquilimab is an investigative drug and is not approved for any indication Mast cells are key drivers of the inflammatory response in a number of allergic and dermatologic diseases Theoharides et al. N Engl J Med. (2015) • Mast cells are the most potent drivers of inflammatory response in skin, lungs and gut • Activated mast cells release pro - inflammatory compounds that drive diseases such as Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria, Chronic Inducible Urticaria, Asthma and many others • Current approved therapies targeting mast cell driven diseases have limited efficacy and limited durability of response

 

6 Briquilimab is an investigative drug and is not approved for any indication Depletion of mast cells by anti - c - Kit monoclonal antibody blockade is a novel approach to treat urticarias and other mast cell mediated diseases 1 Moller C et al. Blood (2005) 2 Hundley TR et al. Blood (2004) 3 Arnold JN et al. Annu Rev Immunol (2007) • SCF signaling through c - Kit prevents mast cells apoptosis via the Bim - mediated pathway 1 • Blockade of c - Kit signaling on mast cells leads to organized cell death and phagocytic clearance 2 • Partial c - Kit inhibition blunts mast cell activation • Aglycosylated c - Kit antibodies avoid indiscriminate ADCC driven killing of other c - Kit expressing cells 3 • Unwanted effects on other c - Kit expressing cells can be minimized by the recovery of c - Kit signaling once the mast cells are depleted Briquilimab - Mediated Mast Cell Apoptosis

 

7 Briquilimab is an investigative drug and is not approved for any indication Briquilimab potently blocks c - Kit signaling leading to durable mast cell depletion 1 Jasper internal data • Briquilimab is an aglycosylated IgG1 anti c - Kit antibody with high affinity to c - Kit (Kd <5pm) • Briquilimab potently blocks c - Kit signaling by blocking the SCF ligand binding site on the receptor and triggering apoptosis • Mast cell depletion occurs within hours to days Mast cell survival assay 1

 

8 Briquilimab is an investigative drug and is not approved for any indication Briquilimab delivered with a single subcutaneous injection significantly depletes mast cells in humans above 0.8 mg/kg threshold 1 Jasper internal data (Phase 1a, healthy volunteer study); Dose is adjusted to body weight (mg/kg) on graph. Skin biopsies were used to count mast cells. 2 Maurer et al, GA²LEN Global Urticaria Forum – Berlin, December 6, 2022 • A single subcutaneous dose above ~0.8 mg/kg potently depletes mast cells in the skin of healthy volunteers • Skin mast cell depletion highly correlated to serum briquilimab exposure after subcutaneous administration • Significant depletion by day 7, with durable response lasting at least 29 days • Once depleted with an anti - c - Kit antibody, skin mast cells take at least 3 months to recover, potentially leading to durable disease control 2 0.8 mg/kg Skin mast cell depletion 4 weeks after single dose (≥42 mg) 1 Briquilimab Healthy Volunteer Phase 1 Subcutaneous Study

 

9 Briquilimab is an investigative drug and is not approved for any indication Briquilimab’s favorable pharmacokinetic properties may enable optimal biologic dosing 1 Jasper internal data (Phase 1a, healthy volunteer study) • Briquilimab is designed to minimize unwanted c - Kit - related effects • Subcutaneous dosing leads to predictable PK profile • Low frequency of ADAs and do not appear to affect PK • Drug elimination profile is favorable for minimizing off target effects • Clearance to allow for return of c - Kit signaling once the mast cells are depleted • No modifications to extend FcRn recycling Pharmacokinetics (≥10 mg) 1 Briquilimab Healthy Volunteer Phase 1 Subcutaneous Study

 

10 Briquilimab is an investigative drug and is not approved for any indication Briquilimab safety profile to - date supports development in a wide variety of mast cell diseases • c - Kit is expressed on mast cells, hemopoietic stem cells, melanocytes, taste buds, spermatogonia and Cajal (GI) cells, which all may be impacted by anti - c - Kit agents • However, briquilimab’s favorable elimination kinetics may allow for an improved safety profile on these other cell types Relevant Preclinical & Clinical Experience • NHP Chronic Toxicology Study • Paleness in skin & fur, depletion of colonic mast cells, decrease in reticulocytes and RBC mass, impact on spermatogenesis • All effects reversible at highest dose of 300 mg/kg weekly for 26 weeks • Healthy Volunteer Subcutaneous Studies (n=77 briquilimab - treated) • Various Grade 1/2 AEs including headache, decreased neutrophils, injection site reaction, infection, urticaria, dysgeusia (280 mg only) • One Grade 3 allergic reaction reported
