• Traditional biological and chemical based therapies generally target single pathophysiological pathways.

• MLCs impact multiple downstream pathways and have the potential attributes for regeneration and repair: • Detect injury and inflammation • Respond to local stimuli and signals from the injured tissue • Release a wide range of biomolecules (growth factors, chemokines, enzymes etc.)

MLCs release multiple factors involved in:

Cell survival and proliferation Cell and tissue repair Stimulation of mature blood vessel growth and reversal of endothelial dysfunction Inhibition or modulation of damaging inflammatory and immune responses Tissue remodelling by reduction in scar formation and fibrosis

*MLCs comprise Mesenchymal Precursor Cells (MPCs ) and culture-expanded Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)

MLC Product Development Strategy

Multiple mechanisms of action may facilitate therapeutic effects in diseases

with high unmet needs

Proprietary manufacturing processes utilized to create distinct product candidates with specific technical

attributes

Initial focus on advanced disease populations with commensurate

pricing and potential for label expansion

Allows for distinct product candidate reimbursement, commercialization and

partnering strategies

Independent, Distinct Product Candidates

Legislative framework*

The Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices and Other Therapeutic Products Act (PMD Act) came into effect 25 November 2014 in Japan

Established a framework for expedited approval in Japan for regenerative medical products

Key Takeaways Conditional product approvals will be based on existing Phase 2 trial results demonstrating probable efficacy

and safety with bridging studies in Japanese patients Conditional approvals will allow sales of each product candidate for up to 7 years Conditionally approved products will be covered by health insurance Conditional approvals will cover allogeneic cell therapy product candidates manufactured under GMP outside

of Japan; and Full approval is expected to require further confirmation of safety and efficacy in a larger population.

New framework for Expedited Japanese Approval of Regenerative Medicines

With late-stage clinical product candidates in multiple indications, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of this new legislative framework in Japan

Population demographics changing - 40% of Japanese will be 65+ by 2050 Objectives To capitalize on clinical data generated to date, our strong intellectual property

portfolio, and manufacturing know how to achieve accelerated product regulatory approvals in Japan

To generate nearer term revenues in Japan, the world’s second most established healthcare market

In order to achieve our corporate objectives in Japan, we: Have completed prioritization of lead product candidates based on assessment of

commercial opportunity and feasibility in Japan Will leverage existing Phase 2 clinical trial results from our lead product candidates Have engaged with product development and commercialization experts in Japan Have initiated dialog with the Japanese regulatory authority, the PMDA Are in active discussions with existing and potential commercialization partners for

our product candidates in Japan

Our Strategy for Japan

We believe the PMD Act will enable our cell therapy products to be made available sooner to patients with unmet medical needs, and to achieve nearer term revenues in

Japan, ahead of other jurisdictions

Portfolio Targeting Inflammatory Diseases – A Major Emerging Opportunity

MLCs have receptors that respond to pro-inflammatory signals, inducing release of multiple anti inflammatory mediators

MLCs thereby target multiple immune pathways concurrently

This should position MLC product candidates as ideal therapeutics for immune mediated diseases where multiple pathways are associated with disease activity for which there are no alternatives and/or resistance to other therapies

MLCs have demonstrated favorable risk: benefit profiles in development programs, with potential to be differentiated from other biologics that have infectious or neoplastic complications

Mesoblast is developing MLC product candidates to target

– Diabetic kidney disease

– Biologic-refractory rheumatoid arthritis

– Biologic-refractory Crohn’s disease
