Alterity Therapeutics Investor Presentation
to Finance News Network Conference

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA AND SAN FRANCISCO, USA – Tuesday 4^th June, 2019. Alterity Therapeutics Limited (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) (“Alterity” or “the Company”) is participating in the Finance News Network investor event today in Sydney.

The event attracts a large number of retail, high net worth and sophisticated investors. The presentation follows the company’s strong presence at the American Neurology Association annual meeting last month and the release of clinical data from its Phase 1 clinical trial for its lead investigational drug PBT434.

This study has shown that PBT434 was well tolerated with adverse event rates comparable to placebo and dose dependent systemic exposure following oral administration. Importantly, the results indicated that PBT434 not only crosses the blood brain barrier in humans, confirming previous observations in animal studies, but that clinically tested doses achieve concentrations in brain that exceed those associated with efficacy in animal models of disease. No serious adverse events were reported and no subject discontinued dosing with PBT434 due to adverse events.

Mr Geoffrey Kempler, CEO and Chairman will be presenting at the event which is taking place at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel in Sydney between 12:30pm and 2:30pm. The event is free and attendees can register here.

Mr Kempler will also be meeting with investors in Sydney. Alterity Therapeutics’ presentation is available on the Company’s website www.alteritytherapeutics.com.

About Alterity Therapeutics Limited

Alterity’s lead candidate, PBT434, is the first of a new generation of small molecules designed to inhibit the aggregation of pathological proteins implicated in neurodegeneration. PBT434 has been shown to reduce abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein and tau proteins in animal models of disease by restoring normal iron balance in the brain. In this way, it has excellent potential to treat various forms of atypical Parkinsonism such as Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Clinical results from the company’s phase clinical trial showed that PBT434 was well tolerated with adverse event rates comparable to placebo and dose dependent systemic exposure following oral administration. Importantly, the results indicate that PBT434 not only crosses the blood brain barrier in humans, confirming previous observations in animal studies, but that clinically tested doses achieve concentrations in brain that exceed those associated with efficacy in animal models of disease.

No serious adverse events were reported and no subject discontinued dosing with PBT434 due to adverse events.

INVESTMENT PROPOSITION ▪ Well - funded clinical stage drug development company following up to $44M strategic investment led by Life Biosciences LLC allowing accelerated and focused clinical development ▪ Strong and highly experienced board and management team with significant R&D and commercialisation experience including 3 drug approvals by US FDA ▪ PBT434 is a novel drug candidate targeting key proteins implicated in neurodegeneration of Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism ▪ PBT434 is completing its Phase 1 clinical trial program – so far, positive data shows concentrations achieved that are potentially clinically relevant and the drug was well tolerated ▪ First therapeutic target selected – Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a form of atypical parkinsonism, is a devastating disease with no approved treatments ▪ FDA Orphan Drug designation for PBT434 for the treatment of MSA received ▪ Significant market potential for MSA in US alone - estimated peak sales of U S$750M

STRATEGIC INVESTMENT ▪ Strategic lead investor in a capital raise up to of approx. A$44 million ▪ The funding will accelerate the Company’s drug development programs ▪ Life Biosciences is a private US biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies, technologies and drugs to address age - related decline ▪ Provides funding through end of Phase 2

Therapeutic Focus

▪ Parkinsonism is a general term for a group of symptoms in Parkinson's disease such as slowness of movement, stiffness and tremor ▪ Parkinsonian disorders include idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD) and atypical forms such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD), among others ▪ The atypical forms have a limited response to current drugs that target the symptoms of PD such as levodopa ▪ The first target selected by Alterity is for the treatment of MSA, a highly debilitating disease with no approved treatments PARKINSONIAN DISORDERS REPRESENT A SUBSTANTIAL UNMET MEDICAL NEED

▪ MSA is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder leading to severe disability and impairment in quality of life ▪ Sporadic (not inherited), typically presents in 50s to 60s ▪ Orphan disease: Prevalence  5 per 100,000 in the U.S. ▪ Patients have a variable combination of ▪ Parkinsonism, which responds poorly to levodopa ▪ Autonomic failure: Orthostatic hypotension, bladder dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, constipation ▪ Cerebellar impairments: impaired gait and speaking ▪ MSA patients have neuron loss in multiple brain regions ▪ Pathological hallmark of MSA is the accumulation of α - synuclein within neurons and glial support cells MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY (MSA) A form of Atypical Parkinsonism

▪ January 2019, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Orphan Drug Designation for PBT434 for the treatment of MSA ▪ Orphan Drug designation entitles Alterity to seven years of market exclusivity for the use of PBT434 in the treatment of MSA and qualifies the sponsor of the drug for various development incentives of the Orphan Drug Act 1983, including tax credits for qualified clinical testing FDA ORPHAN DESIGNATION FOR MSA

▪ Single - and Multiple - Ascending Dose study to be completed Q2’19 ▪ Recruited healthy adult and elderly volunteers ▪ Primary goal is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PBT434 ▪ Secondary goals include assessing pharmacokinetic measures to understand how PBT434 is absorbed and metabolized by the body ▪ Results so far indicate PBT434 crosses the blood brain barrier in humans confirming previous observations in animal studies ▪ PBT434 achieved concentrations in the brain that exceeded those associated with efficacy in animal models of the disease ▪ No serious adverse events were reported and no subjects discontinued dosing with PBT434 due to adverse events PHASE 1 CLINICAL TRIAL PROGRAM ADVANCING

▪ Alpha ( α ) - synuclein is an intracellular protein critical for neurotransmission α - synuclein accumulates and aggregates in many neurodegenerative diseases and is implicated in pathology ▪ PBT434 blocks α - synuclein accumulation and aggregation, preserves neurons and improves function in animal models of synucleinopathy (Parkinson’s disease, MSA) ▪ PBT434 also prevents tau accumulation and improves function in animal models of tauopathy ▪ Link between increased brain iron and the synucleinopathies ▪ Phase 2 data in Parkinson’s disease patients with a related compound supports proof of concept ▪ Clear development path for symptomatic therapy in atypical parkinsonism ▪ Current symptomatic therapy has limited benefit ▪ Potential path for disease modifying therapy THERAPEUTIC STRATEGY PBT434 is an excellent drug candidate for treating neurodegenerative diseases ▪ Brain penetrant ▪ Established manufacturing process ▪ Strong preclinical evidence

▪ α - Synuclein is critical for normal function of neurons and for neurotransmission ▪ α - Synuclein activity is disrupted in Parkinsonian diseases ▪ Pharmaceutical companies and research organisations recognize α - Synuclein as a promising disease target for Parkinsonian diseases VALIDATION OF α - SYNUCLEIN AS DISEASE TARGET MAb to α - synuclein stains red

Market Opportunity and Company Information

14 I 3 STRATEGY PARTNERS CONFIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY *Does not include spontaneous use in PD or regions outside of Australia Severely debilitating, fatal illnesses with no current treatments are ripe for new entrants targeting what may be the actual cause of the disease. SUBSTANTIAL UNMET NEED Motivated by efficacy in treating the disease and not just the symptoms, clinicians intend to offer PT434 to most of their patients with MSA. STRONG INTENT TO PRESCRIBE Given similar efficacy, clinicians will likely prefer PBT434’s once or twice daily oral administration vs. the monthly IV infusions or injections required for alpha - synuclein antibodies that come to market. EASE OF USE Inhibition of iron - mediated protein accumulation and aggregation is a novel mechanism of action that may ultimately prove in clinical practice to impact more than motor symptoms. UNIQUE MOA $505 - 757M potential commercial opportunity for PBT434 in U.S in MSA*
