This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the business of Novocure and certain of its plans and objectives, including with
respect to the development and commercialization of its lead product candidate, Optune, for a number of oncology indications. These forward-looking statements
can be identified in this presentation by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words “expect”,
“intend”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, “would”, “could” or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made
by Novocure in light of industry experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other appropriate factors. By
their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, and Novocure's performance and financial results could differ materially from those expressed
or implied in these forward-looking statements due to general financial, economic, regulatory and political conditions as well as more specific risks and
uncertainties facing Novocure such as those set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2016, or in subsequent quarterly filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those described in this presentation. Novocure assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this
presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.
The statements contained in this presentation are made as at the date of this presentation, unless some other time is specified in relation to them, and service of
this presentation shall not give rise to any implication that there has been no change in the facts set out in this presentation since such date. Nothing contained in
this presentation shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of Novocure, except where expressly stated.
As of the date of this presentation, Optune is only FDA-approved for glioblastoma, or GBM, and its approval for other indications is not certain. Novocure can
provide no assurances regarding market acceptance of Optune or its successful commercialization, and can provide no assurances regarding the company’s results
of operations or financial condition in the future. This presentation is for informational purposes only and may not be relied upon in connection with the purchase

In a mouse model of Lewis Lung carcinoma, combination of TTFields and
anti-PD-1 led to significant decrease in tumor volume compared to control
mice and to mice treated with anti-PD-1 alone after 1 week of treatment
• TTFields did not adversely affect immune cell infiltration into tumors
- TTFields applied to CD45+ cells did not inhibit immune function
- CD45+ and specifically CD11b+/CD11c+ and CD11b+/F4/80+ cells
from tumor in the combined treatment group exhibited higher tumor
infiltration and elevated PD-L1 expression compared to control groups
• Combining TTFields with anti-PD-1 may achieve tumor control by further
enhancing antitumor immunity

GLIOBLASTOMA
• Most common and most aggressive primary malignant brain tumor in adults1
• Located generally in the cerebral hemispheres of the brain, but may be found
anywhere in the brain or spinal cord
• One of a group of tumors referred to as gliomas
- Develop from the lineage of star-shaped glial cells, called astrocytes, that
are the “glue-like” support cells in the central nervous system
- Classified as a Grade IV astrocytoma by WHO2
• Because GBM can grow very rapidly, symptoms usually caused by increased
pressure in the brain
- Can include headache, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness or seizures
- Depending on tumor location, can include other symptoms like weakness
on one side of the body, memory and/or speech difficulties, visual changes
disease state and clinical presentation

• Since approval of temozolomide in 2005, standard of care for newly diagnosed GBM
has been the Stupp protocol pioneered by Dr. Roger Stupp1
• Standard treatment includes
- Maximal debulking surgery, if feasible
- Biopsy alone or subtotal resection, if maximal safe surgical resection not feasible
- Radiation therapy (45-70 Gray) with concomitant low-dose temozolomide (TMZ)
- Post radiation, high dose temozolomide (TMZ) given for five days every 28 days

BRAIN METASTASES
disease state and clinical presentation • Most common form of brain cancer, exceeding the number of primary brain
tumors by at least fourfold1 and occurring in roughly 15% of all cancer patients2
• Brain metastases most frequently arise from lung, breast, skin, colorectal and kidney cancers1
• Blood-brain barrier (BBB) critical to role of metastases - Certain primary neoplasms able to damage BBB, allowing spread into brain - Once these have crossed into brain, BBB repairs itself and the metastasis is
protected from many chemotherapies • Symptoms usually caused by increased pressure in the brain
- Can include headache, seizures, nausea, vomiting, or drowsiness - Depending on tumor location, can also include other focal neurological
defects such as weakness on one side of the body, visual changes, motor dysfunction, cognitive dysfunction, or sensory changes

BRAIN METASTASES FROM NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC)
• Approximately 7.4% of NSCLC patients will have brain metastases at
presentation and 25-30% will develop brain metastases during the course
of their disease1
• Survival impacted by factors such as age, number of brain metastases,
patient health status, presence of extracranial metastases, and presence of
targetable mutations1,2
- Median time to intracranial (IC) failure is approximately 7-9 months3
- Median OS is approximately 7-13 months3

BRAIN METASTASES FROM NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
• Due to failure of most chemotherapies to cross BBB, treatment of brain metastases
has been largely confined to supportive care with surgery and radiation therapy
• Standard treatment includes
- Surgical resection, usually limited to single metastasis
- Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), to deliver a single high dose of irradiation
- Post SRS, supportive care given during watchful waiting
- Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), usually utilized as salvage therapy due to
detrimental neurocognitive effects
current standard of care

• In-vitro data has shown NSCLC sensitivity to TTFields at 150kHz2
• TTFields have been to shown to prevent metastatic seeding in-vivo3
• Phase 2 pilot data in primary NSCLC (EF-15) showed potential efficacy4
• TTFields at 150kHz were safe in a pilot trial of NSCLC brain metastasis patients (EF-

NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
• Lung cancer is the most common cancer type worldwide1
• Smoking is the major risk factor for non-small cell lung cancer2
• 80-85% of all lung cancers are non-small cell (NSCLC)2
- Majority of NSCLC cases (40%) are adenocarcinomas, arising
from the cells that normally secrete substances such as mucus
- Squamous cells carcinomas (25-30% of NSCLCs) arise from flat cells lining the inner airways near the central lungs
- Large cell carcinomas (10-15% of NSCLCs) appear in any part of the lung and tend to spread quickly
• Only a minority of NSCLC patients present with localized disease
• Symptoms include trouble breathing, coughing that does not abate, coughing up blood, chest pain, hoarseness, infection, wheezing

• Randomized pivotal trial, standard-of-care controlled
• 512 patients with second line NSCLC, all histologies
• Treatment groups:
• TTFields with PD-1 inhibitor or docetaxel (based on physician’s choice)
• PD-1 inhibitor or docetaxel (based on physician’s choice)
• Stratification factors:
• PD-1 inhibitor vs docetaxel
• Histology (squamous vs non-squamous)
• Endpoints:
• Primary – overall survival (OS) (Superiority)
• Secondary –
- OS of TTFields + docetaxel vs docetaxel alone (superiority)
- OS of TTFields + PD-1 inhibitor vs PD-1 inhibitor alone (superiority)
- OS of TTFields + docetaxel vs PD-1 inhibitor alone (non-inferiority)

SECOND LINE TREATMENT FOR ADVANCED NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
• Intended to facilitate accrual as standard of care treatments are included on both arms,
regardless of reimbursement for PD-1 inhibitors
• Intended to enable data collection for different combinations with TTFields (immune therapy
and taxanes)
• Will not compete with first line PD-1 NSCLC trials
• If PD-1 inhibitors move to first line, have chance at superiority data with taxanes in second line
• If PD-1 inhibitors fail in first line:
- Two chances of success in second line:
• Superiority with PD-1 inhibitors
• Non-inferiority with taxanes compared to PD-1 inhibitors
- Plan to have data on TTFields with taxanes to support potentially moving TTFields to first line
(where standard of care includes taxanes)

than any other cancer of the female reproductive system1
• Established risk factors include age and family history, with ~10% of cases occurring in women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations2
• Approximately 85-90% of ovarian cancers arise from the epithelial cell
lining covering the outer surface of the ovary • Early tumors often cause no symptoms or can cause symptoms
similar to other diseases - Only 14.8% of cases are diagnosed at the local stage3
- Symptoms can include swelling or bloating, pelvic or abdominal
pressure, abdominal pain, trouble eating or feeling full quickly, and feeling the need to urinate often or urgently

RECURRENT OVARIAN CANCER
• Approximately 80% of women with advanced ovarian cancer will have tumor
progression or, more commonly, recurrence1
• Platinum-free interval a strong predictor of treatment success1
- Classified as platinum-resistant if time to recurrence after completion of platinum-
based treatment is <6 months
- At first relapse, ~25% of patients have platinum-resistant cancer
- Almost all patients with recurrent disease ultimately develop resistance
• Platinum-resistant population has a very poor prognosis
- Median progression-free survival (PFS) after recurrence is approximately 3-4 months2
- Median overall survival (OS) after recurrence is approximately 13-14 months2

MALIGNANT PLEURAL MESOTHELIOMA
disease state and clinical presentation • Rare thoracic solid cancer strongly linked to asbestos exposure1
• Incidence increasing in countries where asbestos still in use2 • Long latency period of at least 20-30 years following exposure2
• Tumors arise from the mesothelial lining of the pleural cavity, and belong to three main histological subtypes: epithelioid (50%), sarcomatoid (10%) or mixed (30-40%)3
• Typical presentation is in older patients with advanced clinical stage and other medical comorbidities - Symptoms can include cough, dyspnea, chest wall pain, pleural
effusion, hoarseness, fatigue, weight loss, excessive sweating, fever, or swelling of the face and arms
- Epithelioid histology responds better to treatments and is associated with better prognosis2

United States 1 Mesothelioma incidence of 3,000 cases annually
Western Europe 2
Predicted peak incidence of 9,000 male deaths around the year 2018 Japan 3
Mesothelioma estimated incidence of 1,000 cases annually
• Incidence of mesothelioma varies markedly within and between countries3
• Highest annual rates of disease, ~30 cases per 1,000,000, reported in Australia and Great Britain
• With the exception of the U.S., incidence continues to increase worldwide
• Risk is greater in men, resulting from exposure to workplace asbestos and other inhaled silicates 1 SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2010. Available at http://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2010/.

MALIGNANT PLEURAL MESOTHELIOMA
• Malignant pleural mesothelioma generally involves local spread on one
side of the chest
- Stage I-III may be resectable, depending on spread and tissue subtype1
- However, unresectable disease generally involves extensive growth, with
regional lymph node spread and ipsilateral lung tissue involvement
• Given advanced age of patients, comorbidities, and limited treatment
effectiveness, prognosis for malignant pleural mesothelioma remains poor
- Median progression-free survival (PFS) is approximately 6 months2
- Median overall survival (OS) is approximately 12 months2

• Since 2003, pemetrexed plus platinum-based therapy (cisplatin or carboplatin) has
been the standard of care for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma1-3
• Standard treatment includes
- Surgical resection, feasible for only a minority of patients
- First-line chemotherapy of pemetrexed plus carboplatin or cisplatin
- Second-line chemotherapies, including oxaliplatin, gemcitabine or vinorelbine

• Term “brain stem glioma” is a generic description referring to any tumor of glial origin
arising in the brain stem, inclusive of the midbrain, pons, and medulla
• Two predominant histologies:
- Diffuse (infiltrating) astrocytomas centered in the pons, also called diffuse intrinsic
pontine glioma (DIPG)
- Pilocytic astrocytomas, which occur throughout the brain stem
• Incidence:
- Approximately 300 to 400 pediatric brain stem tumors diagnosed annually in the U.S.1
- DIPG accounts for approximately 75% to 80% of pediatric brain stem tumors1
- Most children with DIPG are diagnosed between the ages of 5 and 10 years1
- Focal pilocytic astrocytomas in the brain stem occur less frequently1
