Ability to modify the genome and use engineered cells as medicines has the potential to be one of the most important advances in healthcare over the next several decades: Nearly every disease is caused by damage to or dysfunction of a cell Sana’s ambition is to repair or replace any cell in the body Platform progress, broad capabilities, and strong balance sheet enable us to execute on a broad vision: Goal: allo T and in vivo CAR T INDs this year with 2-3 INDs per year going forward Building expertise in key areas: delivery of genetic material, gene modification, immunology, biology, and manufacturing $866M as of the end of the third quarter 2021 Sana Biotechnology Engineered Cells as Medicines

Slide 4

Sana goal: Repair cells in the body when possible or replace them when needed Deliver any payload… (DNA, RNA, protein, organelle, integrating vs non-integrating) To any cell… (unlimited volume of distribution) In a specific… (e.g., just T cell) And repeatable way (limit immunogenicity)   Manufacture any cell at scale… That engrafts… (the right cell in the right environment) Functions… (understand exact phenotype desired) And persists (overcome immune rejection and cellular signaling, such as apoptotic signaling)

Hypoimmune technology: Protecting cells from immune rejection

Slide 7

Hypoimmune cells evade rejection from the adaptive and innate immune system in mice Evade the adaptive immune system Deuse T, …, Schrepfer S. Nat Biotechnology. 2019; 37:252-258 T cell Activation (ELISPOT) No systemic T cell activation with HIP cell transplantation IgM Binding (FACS) No binding of donor-specific antibodies against HIP cells Evade the innate immune system NK Cell Killing No NK cell killing of HIP cells Wildtype Unmodified Cells No killing of unmodified cells by NK cells MHC Class I/II Disruption Killing of partially edited iPSC; HLA I/II knockout by NK cells MHC Class I/II Disruption & CD47 Overexpression No killing of HIP cells by NK cells Representative of results across 5 mice for the unmodified arm and across 6 mice for the hypoimmune arm. Hypoimmune iPSC Unmodified iPSC

Slide 8

Hypoimmune cells survive in vivo in NHP while unmodified iPSCs get rejected A A CO, cross over; Txp, transplant NHP unmodified iPSCs (wt) & NHP hypoimmune iPSCs (HIP) were transplanted into 8 allogeneic recipients Representative of results across 4 NHPs per arm. B Representative of results across 4 NHPs per arm.

Slide 9

T cell Activation (ELISPOT) No systemic T cell activation by hypoimmune cells IgM Production (ELISA) Implantation of hypoimmune cells does not cause activation of antibody production Hypoimmune cells do not activate the “missing self” response from the NK cells Anti-CD47 safety switch Killing by NK Cells Transplantation of NHP iPSCs into allogeneic NHPs: immune evasion is achieved even after prior sensitization WT HIP MHC-I/II KO iPSC Hypoimmune iPSC Killing due to missing self No killing Anti-CD47 safety switch results in killing Hypoimmune cells evade rejection from the adaptive and innate immune system in NHPs Representative of results across 4 NHPs per arm. Hypoimmune iPSC Unmodified iPSC

Sana is pursuing a broad ex vivo cell engineering strategy T cells Pancreatic islets Glial progenitor cells Cardiomyocytes Differentiate pluripotent stem cells with hypoimmune edits Programs that benefit from, but do not require hypoimmune

Slide 11

Significant unmet need in B cell malignancies and multiple myeloma in the US and EU alone: ~250,000 new cases annually1 Est. 100,000 deaths annually1 <10,000 patients have been treated with CAR T therapy to date2 Of those treated, many do not respond and many relapse Manufacturing and access challenges remain for many patients High unmet need remains for blood cancers 1World Health Organization, GLOBOCAN 2020 2Financial Reports, through Q3 2021; Evaluate Pharma, through Q3 2021

Large unmet need remains Disease where destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas results in inability to control blood glucose 1.6M patients with type 1 diabetes in the US and 2.4M in Europe2; 51k new patients/year combined3 Long-term complications: end-organ damage, including heart attack, stroke, retinopathy, and nephropathy Type 1 diabetes represents a large unmet need with a loss of ~15 years of life1 1Rawshani et al, Lancet 2018 2Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Diabetes Report, 2017-2018 3National Institutes of Health, Health Promot Perspect 2020 Our goal is to produce hypoimmune beta cells that evade the immune system and normalize glucose

Slide 17

Progress toward turning beta cells into medicines Make functional beta cells from iPSCs cells  Hide beta cells from allogeneic rejection  Hide beta cells from autoimmune reaction  Create GMP supply chain
