This document contains a presentation by BioAmber Inc. about accelerating clean innovation. It discusses BioAmber's technology for producing renewable building block chemicals from sugars using biotechnology instead of oil. This allows them to produce the same chemicals as petrochemical processes but with significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage. The presentation highlights BioAmber's commercial-scale succinic acid plant in Sarnia, Ontario and plans for a second plant to produce additional chemicals like 1,4-butanediol and tetrahydrofuran. It argues green chemistry will be an important driver of chemical industry growth and that BioAmber is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.

2. Forward-Looking Statements. This presentation contains express or implied forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations of management.
These statements relate to, among other things, our expectations regarding management’s plans, objectives, and strategies. All statements other than statements of
historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including, but not limited to, any projections of financial information; any statements about historical results that may
suggest trends for our business and results of operations; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including the
timing, funding and construction of planned manufacturing facilities; any statements of expectation or belief regarding future events, potential markets or applications,
the sizes of addressable markets, expected technology developments, strategic partnerships and collaborations, or enforceability of our intellectual property rights;
any statements about the projected or expected economic or other benefits of our products compared to petroleum-derived equivalents, future sales and any
statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our
control. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to,
risks detailed in periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as other documents that may be filed by us from time to time with
the SEC. In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements: the expected funding sources of our future manufacturing facilities and the expected timing of the construction and the start of commercial operations of
of these facilities; our joint venture with Mitsui & Co. Ltd; our offtake agreements with Vinmar International Ltd, related to bio-based 1, 4 BDO and bio-succinic acid,
and with PTTMCC Biochem for bio-succinic acid; the expected applications of our products and the sizes of addressable markets; our ability to gain market
acceptance for bio-succinic acid, its derivatives and other building block chemicals; the benefits of our yeast; our ability to ramp up commercial sales and execute on
our commercial expansion plan, including the timing, volume and margins of our future production and sales; the expected cost-competitiveness and relative
performance attributes of our bio-succinic acid and the products derived from it; our ability to cost-effectively produce and commercialize bio-succinic acid, 1,4-BDO
and THF; customer qualification, approval and acceptance of our products; our ability to maintain and advance strategic partnerships and collaborations and the
expected benefits and accessible markets related to those partnerships and collaborations; the impact of our off-take agreements on our business with our
customers, our distributors and our current and future equity partners; our ability to economically obtain feedstock and other inputs; the achievement of advances in
our technology platform; our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products and processes and not infringe on others' rights;
government regulatory and industry certification approvals for our facilities and products; government policymaking and incentives relating to bio-chemicals; and the
other factors listed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2015.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the events and circumstances
reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur and the timing of events and circumstances and actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All such statements speak only
as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. Before you invest, you should read the documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company. You
