“In large part, companies obtain the shareholder constituency that

they seek and deserve. If they focus their thinking and communications

on short-term results or short-term stock market consequences they

will, in large part, attract shareholders who focus on the same factors.

And if they are cynical in their treatment of investors, eventually that

cynicism is highly likely to be returned by the investment community.”

Warren Buffett (1979 Chairman’s Letter)

launch, introduction and commercial potential of linaclotide, lesinurad, our product candidates and the other products that we promote and the drivers, timing, impact and results thereof

(including near-term value-creating catalysts); reduction of a significant risk from IW-3718, if Phase IIb data is positive; market size, prevalence, growth and opportunity, including peak sales and

the potential demand for linaclotide, lesinurad and our product candidates, as well as their potential impact on applicable markets; the potential indications for, and benefits of, linaclotide,

lesinurad and our product candidates; the anticipated timing of preclinical, clinical and regulatory developments and the design, timing and results of clinical and preclinical studies; the potential

for, and timing of, regulatory submissions and approvals for linaclotide, lesinurad and our product candidates, and the level of risk associated with the path to approval; expected periods of

patent exclusivity; the strength of the intellectual property protection for linaclotide, lesinurad and our product candidates and our intentions and efforts to protect such intellectual property;

our potential for sustainable, high-margin growth and shareholder returns; consensus expectations related to revenue growth for certain commercial biotech companies; expectations concerning

if and when we will become cash flow positive; and our financial performance and results, and guidance and expectations related thereto (including the drivers and timing thereof), including

expectations related to Ironwood revenue CAGR, cash flow accretion, margin expansion and revenue growth, LINZESS U.S. net sales and growth, commercial margin and commercial costs,

LINZESS profitability and Ironwood revenues. Each forward-looking statement is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or

implied in such statement. Applicable risks and uncertainties include those related to the effectiveness of development and commercialization efforts by us and our partners; preclinical and

clinical development, manufacturing and formulation development; our reliance on AstraZeneca to provide critical support services related to lesinurad; the risk that findings from our completed

nonclinical and clinical studies may not be replicated in later studies; efficacy, safety and tolerability of linaclotide, lesinurad and our product candidates; decisions by regulatory authorities; the

risk that we are unable to successfully integrate lesinurad into our existing business, commercialize lesinurad or realize the anticipated benefits of the lesinurad transaction; the risk that we may

never get sufficient patent protection for linaclotide and our product candidates or that we are not able to successfully protect such patents; the outcomes in legal proceedings to protect or

enforce the patents relating to our products and product candidates, including ANDA litigation; developments in the intellectual property landscape; challenges from and rights of competitors or

potential competitors; the risk that our planned investments do not have the anticipated effect on our company revenues, linaclotide, lesinurad or our product candidates; the risk that we are

unable to manage our operating expenses or cash use for operations, or are unable to commercialize our products, within the guided ranges or otherwise as expected; and the risks listed under

Bile Acid Pathogenesis: Reasons to Believe

• GERD patients had higher esophageal bile acid concentrations than controls1

• Bile acid infusions triggered GERD symptoms alone, and in combination with acid1

• Bile acids induced inflammation and cell injury in squamous epithelial cells1

• In preclinical studies2, bile acid induced:

– Esophageal mucosal nerve fiber activation

– Lower esophageal sphincter relaxation

• Effect was inhibited by coincubation with bile acid sequestrant

Supported by both preclinical and clinical data

IW-3718 Phase IIa Data Suggest Decrease in Heartburn Severity Most Pronounced in Patients with Confirmed Acid Reflux

Patients experiencing heartburn ≥2 episodes/week and confirmed acid reflux based on existing erosive esophagitis (EE); p values: pairwise comparison based on ANCOVA model w/ treatment and bile reflux status as factors and baseline as covariate. Confirmed ongoing esophagitis based on screening EGD or history of esophagitis at screening described as continuing at BL. Analysis based on ITT Population.

IW-3718 Phase IIa Data Leveraged to Optimize Phase IIb Trial Design

• Enhanced rigor of inclusion criteria aimed to:

– Ensure high likelihood of enrolling patients with bile reflux1

– Enroll patients with increased heartburn or regurgitation frequency at screening

– Randomize patients based on higher baseline heartburn severity

• Revised patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument, based on FDA feedback

Positive IW-3718 Phase IIb Data Expected to Reduce a Significant Program Risk

• We believe demonstration of efficacy and clinical meaningfulness will substantially reduce one of the more significant risks in IW-3718 program

• Modest improvement in IW-3718 effect over PPIs alone is expected to lead to physician adoption (if approved)

• IW-3718 Phase IIa data demonstrated high frequency of bile reflux and supported further development of gastric-retentive bile acid sequestrant in uncontrolled GERD patients

• Uncontrolled GERD is a distinct population of ~10 million patients1,2; no existing prescription treatment options

HFpEF: Needs and Opportunities

• Large and growing population

• Currently barren therapeutic landscape – no evidence based therapies from RCTs

• Growing understanding of pathophysiology, involving multiple organs and signaling pathways…possible strike zone for sGC signaling

• Evolving regulatory thinking, enabling trial designs better targeted to the patient population and their everyday symptoms

• Development focus on function capacity +/- QoL may allow path to approval w smaller sample sizes and shorter follow-up than traditional M&M trials

Resistant hypertension is the failure to achieve goal BP (<140 ⁄ 90 mm

Hg in the general hypertensive population and <130 ⁄ 80 mm Hg in

patients with diabetes or CKD) when patients adhere to full doses of

an appropriate regimen of 3 antihypertensive drugs, including a

Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) Overview

• Progressive kidney disease resulting from microvascular complications of diabetes

– Characterized by diffuse glomerulosclerosis

– Leads to HTN, proteinuria, ↓ GFR

– Associated with increased CV risk

• Epidemiology

– 20-30% of diabetics develop DN

7.4 million US diabetics have signs of nephropathy

– Higher prevalence in African Americans and Hispanics

– Most common cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the US, representing a huge burden to the healthcare system (annual cost of ESRD ≈ $40 billion)

– Prevalence expected to increase with aging population

Rationale for Treating DN with an

sGC Stimulator

• NO deficiency is believed to be a key factor in the pathogenesis of DN

– Boosting NO-sGC-cGMP signaling could compensate for reduced NO levels

• Stimulation of sGC could have effects at multiple points in the DN disease process

– Systemic and glomerular hypertension

– Mitochondrial dysregulation/oxidative stress

– Mesangial matrix expansion/fibrosis

– Podocyte loss

Mechanisms Underlying the Irritable Bowel Syndrome

A variety of peripheral

mechanisms initiate perturbation of GI motor and sensory functions

and lead to IBS symptoms.

Identification of the peripheral mechanisms provides an

opportunity to prevent or reverse symptoms.

IBS-C and CIC Pathophysiology

Decreased secretion

and GI motility

IBS-C and CIC are

characterized by decreased

fluid secretion and motility

which results in infrequent,

hard, and lumpy stools that

may be difficult to pass

Increased visceral

hypersensitivity

IBS-C is characterized by

visceral hypersensitivity,

which can present as

abdominal pain

Gastrointestinal Physiology is Regulated by Peptides with pH-Dependent Activity

• Uroguanylin, a naturally

occurring peptide hormone,

binds to the GC-C receptor,

which helps to regulate fluid

secretion and intestinal

transit

• Uroguanylin is primarily

expressed in the small

intestine

• Low pH (pH 5-6)

environment where

uroguanylin is most active

Small Intestine Colon

• Guanylin, a naturally occurring peptide hormone, binds to GC-C receptors, primarily in the large intestine, which may help to regulate visceral sensation

• Guanylin is primarily expressed in the large intestine

• Higher pH (pH 8) environment where guanylin is most active

Hypothesis Building: Leveraging Scientific Knowledge to Help Patients

• Delivering more linaclotide to the colon may enhance abdominal pain relief

• Drug release at the mid-ileum could achieve this while retaining the favorable effects on constipation of LINZESS

DR1 is an Exciting Opportunity

• DR1 could advance IBS-C care even further

– Potential for improvement in pain relief

– Potential for better benefit/side effect profile

– Possible new endpoint claims on additional symptoms of great importance to patients (abdominal bloating, discomfort, and pain)

• DR1 next steps

– Execution of a successful Phase III program is a top priority

– FDA meetings are planned to align with agency

– Anticipating Phase III study start by 2H 2017

LINZESS and Linaclotide Delayed Release Poised for Strong Growth

• LINZESS shows strong growth and momentum driven by demand for effective relief of abdominal pain and constipation in IBS-C and multiple symptoms in CIC

• Linaclotide delayed release, if approved, is expected to accelerate growth in the IBS-C category

• If approved, potential for:

– Abdominal pain relief with good tolerability driving choice

– Increased adherence to treatment

– Formerly treated patients who experienced inadequate relief

– Communicating relief of abdominal pain and other symptoms, such as bloating, discomfort or fullness
