REOLYSIN® Overview o REOLYSIN® is a proprietary isolate of the reovirus

o Reovirus is a replication competent virus and is considered safe to humans o REOLYSIN® has been safely administered to patients via intravenous,

intratumoral and intrathecal injection o Mechanism of Action:

o In Ras-activated cells, one of the key cellular defence mechanisms against double-stranded RNA viral infection, Protein Kinase-R (PKR), is deactivated

o This specific vulnerability of constitutive Ras-activated cancer cells to the reovirus is the basis of REOLYSIN®’s activity and specificity

o Reovirus oncolysis is seen in cancer cells with constitute Ras pathway activation; susceptible cancer cells therefore include those with either: o EGFR overexpression or mutation1; or o Ras mutation, which includes Kras mutation2

o Both of these mutations lead to activation of the Ras pathway 1 Evidence that the epidemal growth factor receptor on host cells confers reovirus infection efficiency. Strong et al. Virology 1993; 197(1): 405 2 The molecular basis of viral oncolysis: usurpation of the Ras signalling pathway by reovirus. Strong et al. EMBO J 1998; 17(12): 3351

REOLYSIN® Mechanism of Action

REOLYSIN® infects both tumor cells and normal, healthy cells

REOLYSIN® is a virus whose replication is stopped in a non- Ras-activated cell

Healthy cell remains undamaged

Tumor cells rupture to release progeny virus

Replicated viruses repeat cell lysis cycle in nearby tumor cells

REOLYSIN® replicates in Ras- activated tumor cells

REOLYSIN® infects both tumor cells and normal, healthy cells

Normal Cells

Ras-Activated Cells

REOLYSIN® administered to patients via IV

REO 013: REOLYSIN® Induced Tumour Response

o Image shows positive (red staining) for reovirus in the metastatic lesions (blue arrow) and negative for reovirus in the normal cells (red arrow)

o Nine out of ten patients showed the same pattern, i.e. targeted delivery to metastatic tumor lesions of the liver

o In addition, two of the ten patients had complete tumor necrosis

o This demonstrates that REOLYSIN® specifically accesses and replicates in metastatic colorectal cancer when delivered as a monotherapy

Page 7: Corporate presentation (april 8 2014)

Market for Ras Pathway Mediated Cancers

o Estimated global cancer market was US$85 billion in 2013; this is expected to rise to US$109 billion in 2018

o At least five million new patients per year are expected to develop cancers with a Ras pathway involvement

o In the developed world alone, at least 2.6 million patients per year die of cancers that have metastasized

REOLYSIN® and Safety o More than 1,000 patients treated, more than 900 intravenously at

doses up to 3x1010 TCID50 daily o No maximum tolerated dose (MTD) reached to date o Monotherapy toxicities have generally been mild (grade 1 or 2) and

included chills, fever, headache, cough, myalgia, runny nose, sore throat, fatigue and grade 1 or 2 lymphopenia and neutropenia

o Transient grade 3 and 4 toxicities included lymphopenia and neutropenia

o These symptoms were more frequently observed from day 2 of treatment and usually lasted less than 6 hours

Page 11: Corporate presentation (april 8 2014)

Phase III (Pivotal) Program for REOLYSIN® in Squamous Cell Head & Neck Cancers o In Q3 2012, Oncolytics completed enrollment in REO 018, a randomized, two stage, two-arm,

double-blind, multi-center trial examining REOLYSIN® in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in taxane-naïve patients with platinum-refractory recurrent head and neck cancers

o The study was approved and run in fourteen countries in North America and Europe

o Patients in the REO 018 study were stratified for: o ECOG performance status (0-1 versus 2)

o Time of progression/relapse after prior platinum-based chemotherapy

o Disease location (patients with locally recurrent disease, with or without distal metastases, versus patients with metastatic disease only)

o REO 018 Endpoints: o Primary Endpoint: Overall Survival (OS)

o Secondary Endpoints: Progression-Free Survival (PFS), best response and tumour-specific response

o Pharmacodynamic Endpoints: Tumour Ras pathway status and HPV status

o The Company intends to treat REO 018 as a separate supportive study to a planned randomized, follow-on international Phase III head and neck registration study

11

Page 12: Corporate presentation (april 8 2014)

REO 018: Safety o REOLYSIN® was safe and well-tolerated by patients o The side effects experienced by test-arm patients were consistent

with those observed in earlier studies of REOLYSIN®; consistent with treatment with a virus, there was a higher incidence of flu-like symptoms in the test arm, most commonly fever, diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue o On a per-cycle basis:

o More test (mean=27.2%, median=25.9%) than control (mean=5.3%, median=4.8%) patients with fever at each cycle

o More test (mean=87.9%, median=81.7%) than control (mean=47.3%, median=45%) patients exhibiting flu-like symptoms at each cycle

o Fewer patients required dose reductions of paclitaxel due to neuropathy or neurotoxicity on the test arm than the control o No test patients versus 6 control patients (p=0.028)

12

Page 13: Corporate presentation (april 8 2014)

REO 018: Tumor-Specific Response Data o The percentage magnitude of initial tumour changes between the baseline

and first post-treatment scans (performed at approximately six weeks) was examined for all patients

o The endpoint differentiated between patients with loco-regional disease with or without distal metastases and those with metastatic disease only in order to determine whether REOLYSIN® adds tumor-specific activity in loco-regional and/or metastatic disease in a randomized setting

o In an analysis of the 118 loco-regional patients, the test arm showed a statistical trend towards better tumour stabilization (defined as 0% growth) or shrinkage (p=0.076) over the control

o In an analysis of the 47 patients with metastatic disease only, the test arm demonstrated statistically significantly better tumour stabilization (defined as 0% growth) or shrinkage (p=0.021) over the control

REO 018: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) Patients with Loco-Regional Disease, With or Without Distal Metastases o There were a total of 118 patients with loco-regional disease, with or without distal metastases o Test arm patients in this group maintained a PFS benefit over those in the control arm through five

cycles of therapy o In an intent-to-treat analysis of progression-free survival, the test arm showed a statistically

significant improvement in PFS (p=0.0072, hazard ratio=0.5360) over the control o The analysis used Type II censoring from the median PFS of each arm (48 days for the control arm and 95 for

the test arm) o In an intent-to-treat analysis of overall survival, the test arm showed a statistically significant

improvement in OS (p=0.0146, hazard ratio=0.5099) over the control o The analysis was performed to the median PFS of each arm, censoring any patients who received post-

discontinuation therapy at the date at which they commenced the first of these therapies Patients with Distal Metastases Alone o There were a total of 47 patients with distal metastases alone; at the time of the analysis, eight of

these patients were still alive o Test arm patients maintained a PFS benefit over those in the control for five cycles of therapy o Ultimately, there are too few patients to power a statistical analysis of the PFS and OS of the

metastatic-only patient group

15

Page 16: Corporate presentation (april 8 2014)

REO 016: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

o Single-arm (up to 36 patients), open-label, two-stage US Phase II study of intravenously-administered REOLYSIN® in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel

o For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have been pre-screened for Kras and EGFR mutation status o 15-20% of NSCLC is Kras mutated, while up to 50% is EGFR mutated or

overexpressed, all of which cause Ras pathway activation o First-line therapy study, i.e. patients will be offered REOLYSIN® /

carboplatin / paclitaxel instead of standard of care if they are Kras or EGFR mutated or EGFR overexpressed

16

Page 17: Corporate presentation (april 8 2014)

REO 016: Biomarker Correlations with REOLYSIN® Efficacy o Of 36 evaluable patients, all of whom were Stage IV on

entry, 89% exhibited SD or better (11 PR, 21 SD and 4 PD by RECIST)

o 20 of these 36 patients (56%) had one year or more of survival

o Of 24 patients with at least an EGFR mutation or amplification, 16 (66.7%) had one year or more of survival

o Of 13 patients with only an EGFR mutation or amplification, 9 (69.2%) had one year or more of survival

o Of 4 patients with BRAF and EGFR amplifications, 4 (100%) had one year or more of survival

REO 021: Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lungs o Single-arm (up to 36 patients), open-label US Phase II

study of intravenously-administered REOLYSIN® in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel

o Final results in 25 evaluable patients (all with metastatic disease) demonstrated that 92% (23 patients) exhibited overall tumour shrinkage, with mean shrinkage of 32.7%

o Of the 25 evaluable patients who received more than one cycle of therapy, 10 (40%) showed partial responses by RECIST, and a further 12 (48%) showed stable disease by RECIST, for a disease control rate (CR + PR + SD) of 92%
