This document provides an overview and summary of Bellus Health Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for rare kidney diseases. Their lead drug candidate, KIACTA, recently completed a Phase III confirmatory study in patients with AA amyloidosis, a rare and fatal kidney disease with no approved treatments. Topline results from the study are expected in Q2 2016 and, if positive, could support KIACTA's approval. The company has funding to progress KIACTA's development and pursue additional rare disease programs, with potential value-driving milestones in 2016.

2. Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this presentation, other than statements of fact that are
independently verifiable at the date hereof, may constitute forward-looking statements. Such
statements, based as they are on the current expectations of management, inherently involve
numerous risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, many of which are beyond BELLUS
Health Inc.'s control. Such risks include but are not limited to: the ability to obtain financing, the
impact of general economic conditions, general conditions in the pharmaceutical industry,
changes in the regulatory environment in the jurisdictions in which the BELLUS Health Inc.
does business, stock market volatility, fluctuations in costs, changes to the competitive
environment due to consolidation, achievement of forecasted burn rate, potential payments in
relation to indemnity agreements, achievement of forecasted clinical trial milestones, and that
actual results may vary once the final and quality-controlled verification of data and analyses
has been completed. In addition, the length of the KIACTA™ Phase III Confirmatory Study is
dependent upon many factors, including clinical sites activation, patient enrollment rate, patient
drop-out rate and occurrence of clinical endpoint events, and the sharing of proceeds between
Auven Therapeutics and BELLUS Health Inc. from potential future revenue of KIACTA™ is
dependent upon a number of factors, including the quantum of proceeds.
Consequently, actual future results may differ materially from the anticipated results expressed
in the forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance, if any, on any
forward-looking statements included in this presentation. These statements speak only as of
