Forward-Looking Statements
We caution the reader that this presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this
presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: our business strategy; the anticipated timing, costs, design, goals and
conduct of our ongoing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials; the timing of release of data from our ongoing clinical programs and the announcement of new programs; the timing of
additional cohorts to existing clinical trials, including dosage levels and other details thereof; the characterization of data and results from preclinical studies and clinical trials and conclusions drawn
therefrom; research and development plans; plans and projected timelines for delpacibart etedesiran (del-desiran, formerly AOC 1001), delpacibart braxlosiran (del-brax, formerly AOC 1020) and
delpacibart zotadirsen (del-zota, formerly AOC 1044); safety and tolerability profiles of our product candidates; efficacy or functional data demonstrated by our product candidates; our plans regarding
our DMD franchise; the potential of the AOC platform and specific product candidates; the ability of our AOC platform to develop precision cardiology therapeutics; the ability for AOC 1086 to target PLN
cardiomyopathy, for AOC 1072 to target PRKAG2 Syndrome, and our ability to target additional genetic cardiac conditions; our ability to deliver siRNA to the heart; the design and capabilities of AOC
1086 and AOC 1072; the regulatory pathways of our product candidates; the design and capabilities of our next generation technology innovations; the status and potential of our product candidates as
first-in-class and/or best-in-class; the possibility of accelerated approval for del-brax and del-zota; our plans and timing for a BLA submission for del-zota; the status of certain clinical trials and cohorts as
potentially registrational; dosage levels to be administered in our clinical trials; enrollment in our clinical trials and the timing of completion; the ability of our product candidates to treat rare diseases;
timing and likelihood of success; product approvals; plans and objectives of management for future operations; collaborations with third parties and expected benefits therefrom; and our cash position
and our ability to fund our planned operations. In some cases, the reader can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,”
“target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The inclusion of forward-looking statements
should not be regarded as a representation by Avidity that any of our plans will be achieved. Actual results may differ from those set forth in this presentation due to the risks and uncertainties inherent
in our business based on factors beyond our control, including, without limitation: the results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results; preclinical data
may not support IND filing or approval; our next-generation technology innovations may not produce results of commercial value; requests for data by the FDA or other regulatory authorities may result
in significant additional expense and timing delays; data delivered to the regulators may not be satisfactory, or support a successful BLA submission or registration; additional participant data related
to our product candidates that continues to become available may be inconsistent with the data produced as of the most recent respective date cutoffs, and further analysis of existing data and analysis
of new data may lead to conclusions different from those established as of such date cutoffs; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of our product candidates may delay or limit their
development, regulatory approval and/or commercialization, or may result in clinical holds, recalls or product liability claims; we are early in our development efforts; our approach to the discovery and
development of product candidates based on our AOC platform is unproven, and we do not know whether we will be able to develop any products of commercial value; potential delays in the
commencement, enrollment and completion of clinical trials, or of designations conferred by regulatory authorities; our dependence on third parties in connection with preclinical and clinical testing and
product manufacturing; we may not realize the expected benefits of our collaborations with third parties, our existing collaborations may terminate earlier than expected or we may not be able to form
new collaborations; regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries, including acceptance of INDs and similar foreign regulatory submissions and our proposed design of future
clinical trials; Fast Track or Breakthrough Designation by the FDA may not lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process; our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property
protection for our product candidates and proprietary technologies; we may exhaust our capital resources sooner than we expect and fail to raise additional needed funds; and other risks
described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024, and in subsequent filings with the SEC. The reader is
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety
by this cautionary statement, which is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions
and limitations, and the reader is cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we
operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us. This

CARDIOMYOPATHY (US and CANADA) MODIFYING THERAPIES

• Autosomal dominant, progressive cardiac disease characterized


by dilated and/or arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
• Increased risk for sudden cardiac arrest and heart failure,
even in younger people
• Caused by a mutation (R14del) in PLN gene which results
in accumulation of protein aggregates which cause
cardiomyocyte death
• AOC 1086 is designed to target and degrade PLN mRNA to
eliminate protein aggregates
