Forward-Looking Statements

Q4 2018 Medicenna Corporate Overview

Certain statements in this presentation are “forward-looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always using words or phrases such as “expect”, “seek”, “endeavour”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, or stating that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will occur or be taken, or achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements”.

Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are made that involve a number of risks and uncertainties which would cause actual results or events to differ materially from those presently anticipated. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are made and involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. A number of factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in the public filings made by Medicenna with the applicable securities commissions in Canada, including the Annual Information Form dated June 26, 2018. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These factors should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this document are based upon what Medicenna currently believes to be reasonable assumptions, Medicenna cannot assure prospective investors that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Medicenna does not have any obligation to advise any person if it becomes aware of any inaccuracy in or omission from any forward-looking statement, nor does it intend, or assume any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.

Promising Overall Survival and Tumor Control in rGBM at Low Doses of MDNA55 (n=27)

Q4 2018

• Survival with MDNA55 is better than survival rates reported for approved drugs for rGBM.• Furthermore, a preliminary review of post-treatment MRIs conducted at each of the individual sites showed tumor

shrinkage or stabilization for at least 8 weeks without clinical decline in 11 of 26 evaluable subjects treated at the low doses corresponding to a disease control rate of 42%.

Product Concept: Improved Version of Proleukin® (Aldesleukin)

Rationale for an IL-2 Superkine Agonist (MDNA109)

• Proleukin first targeted immunotherapy — approved for metastatic melanoma and renal cancer

• Effector T cells and NK cells are relatively insensitive to IL-2 due to low expression of CD25

• High dose IL-2 is required to stimulate effector cells• CD25 expression on endothelium and Tregs limits use of IL-2 due to:

• Vascular leak syndrome• Pulmonary edema• Stimulation of Tregs blunts anti-tumor response

• IL-2 Superkine (MDNA109) signal independently of CD25 thereby:• Preferentially activating effector T cells while limiting stimulation of Tregs• Derive therapeutic benefits in the clinic without the underlying toxicity

MDNA109 Synergizes with Anti-PD-1 Immunotherapy in MC38 ModelCombination therapy produces robust responses in a dose-dependent fashion in MC38 colon cancer model

• MDNA109 and anti-PD-1 (10 mg/kg IV q4d x 3) are not fully efficacious alone

• Dose-dependence observed with monotherapy and anti-PD1

• Combination treatment sufficient to cure most mice

• Increased efficacy of combination was well-tolerated

• MDNA109 action can synergize with checkpoint inhibition to fully unleash the immune system against cancer
