Forward Looking Statements
Today’s presentation includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, including statements regarding
our planned pre-clinical and clinical studies, timing or ability to close partnerships, regulatory approval process and
demand for our product candidates, are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
• We have incurred significant losses since inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for
the foreseeable future.
• Our ability to generate revenue from product sales is highly uncertain.
• We may need to raise additional funding in the future, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
• No gene therapy products have been approved in the United States, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory
approvals for our product candidates.
• We have encountered and may continue to encounter substantial delays in our clinical trials or fail to demonstrate
safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities.
• We rely on third parties to conduct, supervise and monitor our clinical trials and to conduct certain aspects of our
product manufacturing and protocol development.
• The insurance coverage and reimbursement status of our product candidates is uncertain.
• Negative public opinion and increased regulatory scrutiny of gene therapy and genetic research may adversely affect
public perception of our product candidates and prospects for our business.
• If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate patent protection for our technology and products our competitors
could develop and commercialize technology and products similar or identical to ours.

Company Highlights
Broad collaboration with Biogen to develop gene therapies in
ophthalmology & other indications
Key Partnership
AGTC is developing genetic therapies to treat patients with inherited
diseases. Treatments are precisely designed to meet the needs of each
specific genetic disorder. AGTC’s most advanced gene therapy programs are
designed to restore visual function in patients with rare blinding diseases.
Multiple opportunities to provide long-term value to patientsBroad Pipeline
>100 patents and patent applications protecting candidate genes,
vector capsids, manufacturing and delivery
Extensive IP
Portfolio
Deep Expertise In vector selection, design, manufacturing and delivery

Why Ophthalmology
• No current treatments for diseases targeted by
AGTC product candidates
• 200+ genetic disease of the eye
• Many people fear blindness more than death
• Blinding eye diseases hinder the lives of patients
every day, making it impossible to perform tasks
such as driving, riding a bike, and even playing
outside.
Significant Unmet Medical Need
Growing Scientific Support
• Extensive preclinical data
- Highly predictive animal models
- Well characterized diseases
• Well-defined clinical endpoints simplify trial
design
• Preliminary evidence of safe targeted delivery in
human trials

Lead Program: X-linked Retinoschisis (XLRS)
Disease
• Missing structural protein results
in poor vision not correctable
with eyeglasses
• No current treatments
Normal OCT XLRS OCT
Impact
• Poor vision (20/100) detected by
school age
• Difficulty reading, driving, or
recognizing faces
• 30% chance of retinal detachment
or vitreous hemorrhage at any age
Positioned for Success
• Robust animal models and an
understanding of human disease
phenotype
• Favorable regulatory environment
• Defined clinical development plan
• Strong IP position

XLRS Endpoints – For Approval
Visual Acuity
• ETDRS chart
– Visual acuity is measured as number of
letters read
– More letters read = better visual acuity
(85 ETDRS letters = 20/20 vision)
By Patient
(Example from AGTC LCA trial)
Blue = treated eye
Visual Field
• Static perimetry (spot by spot, with
each spot getting its own visual
sensitivity value)
• Kinetic perimetry (from outside in,
defining zones of visual sensitivity
along the way)

Hill of Vision
Red = untreated eye
